"The best electric toothbrush reduces plaque and gingivitis better than a manual one, encourages you to brush long enough, and prevents overzealous scrubbing (it's a thing-just ask my dentist). I didn't always love to brush my teeth, but over the years, I've come to appreciate the dental health ritual: two minutes of foamy, mindless maintenance that keeps the oral hygienist off my back."
"There are two types of electric toothbrush. An oscillating toothbrush has a round head that spins, like what you might find at the dentist, and a sonic one vibrates. Oscillating toothbrushes might be a bit intense for a beginner electric tooth-brusher, so the Philips Sonicare 4100 is our first pick. Its sonic vibrations are powerful without being aggressive, and the narrower brush head makes it a more comfortable fit for smaller mouths."
Electric toothbrushes remove plaque and reduce gingivitis more effectively than manual brushes while encouraging the recommended two-minute brushing duration and preventing overzealous scrubbing. Preventative dental care, including using an electric toothbrush, can reduce long-term costs and discomfort and is especially helpful for people with permanent orthodontic retainers due to improved plaque removal. Testing covered dozens of models from budget basics to high-tech options with pressure sensors and multiple modes, each used for at least two weeks to assess performance, comfort, and value. Sonic and oscillating designs differ; sonic models deliver powerful vibrations without aggressive intensity, and midrange options can cost about $50.
