Hair Care Wellness All Hair Care Shampoos Purple Shampoos Thinning Hair Head Shavers Flat Irons Hair Dryers I have used and handled over 100 brushes and for the most part all of those brushes operate within a similar sound range. A fall from even a few inches could potentially cause a cable to come loose or a part to become misaligned inside the handle.

But others won’t last as long – we found the least powerful brush needed recharging after just 16 brushes. It’s tempting to say that this is the best electric toothbrush out there. The reason it hasn’t won the top spot is because it’s very expensive and, on balance, the Spotlight Oral Care and Suri offer a better balance of performance and affordability. In a recent study by the American Veterinary Dental College, 80% of dogs showed improvement in gum health when their teeth were brushed daily with an electric toothbrush versus just 39% for those brushed with a regular manual toothbrush. In Lab tests, the Oral-B iO received high scores all around and consumer testers shared that there’s not much to dislike, describing the brush as “bomb,” “a game-changer,” a “joy to use” and “incredibly cool.” Several testers even said their experience was akin to having their teeth professionally cleaned: “What’s not to love? I’m addicted to brushing my teeth and using this toothbrush! I feel like I just left my hygienist chair with a professional cleaning,” says one tester. Manufacturers own brush heads or not, it is important to replace your head approximately every 3 months. This is for hygiene reasons, but also because parts inside the head can potentially wear. Extended usage times may result in more noise. CleanlinessIf you’re new to electric brushes it will feel like it is giving a very thorough clean. The timer and pacer help you brush for the right amount of time For experienced electric toothbrush users like myself, you might notice that SURI feels a little less powerful than models offered by the likes of Philips Sonicare. As an experienced electric toothbrush user I have been more than satisfied with the cleaning results offered by SURI. I’ve used considerably more expensive brushes that have performed worse in my plaque disclosing tests. Clinically proven cleaning results I want to love it, but I’m not sure I do, as the head is quite wide which makes it hard to reach all the nooks and crannies - although it has been streamlined from the ISSA 2. It has a huge range of 16 different speed settings, although they’re not separated into dedicated ‘modes’ as such, and I actually found that 16 is too many. It has an interval timer, which prompts you to move to a different area of your mouth every 30 seconds for a thorough clean, but again no pressure sensor.

The best electric toothbrushes are clinically proven to do a better job than the manual brushes of old and should be part of everyone’s everyday dental routine. After all, we would all like squeaky clean teeth and a whiter smile – and absolutely no-one enjoys fillings or root canal surgery.Unless you find these brushes on offer, the price can be eye watering. But what benefits are there to paying more? Battery life Some electric toothbrushes have a battery that can hold a charge for over a month, while the worst we’ve tested will provide just over a week of brushing time. Recharging times vary massively, too. The fastest will go from empty to full charge in less than five hours, but the slowest will have you waiting over a day before they’re fully charged. I place the toothbrush 6 inches away from a decibel meter. The toothbrush is held in my hand with a light grip. I turn the toothbrush on and run it through all cleaning modes and intensity settings available. It is the brush head that produces a large proportion of the noise. It is therefore important to consider the brush head that you use. Pressure sensors: Pressure sensors act as a safety measure, says Dr. Dmitry Dolgov, a dentist at The Dentist Lounge in Santa Monica, California. They alert you when you’re brushing too hard and eliminate the chance that you’ll hurt your gums or tooth enamel. If an electric toothbrush senses that you’re exerting too much pressure while brushing, it may slow down its oscillations or display a red light on its base, which tells you to be gentler.

Most toothbrushes will in their life suffer the odd fall or may incur a bit of damage, be that intentional or not.

If a toothbrush is ADA-accepted, this means the dental product is safe, effective and of high quality. The Oral-B Pro 1000 and Oral-B iO Series from this list are both ADA-accepted. Convenience Brushing timer – This helps ensure you brush for a full two minutes, which is the amount of time dentists recommend we spend cleaning our teeth. Some are auto-programmed to only brush for two minutes so you don’t need to think about the time. Others will beep or stutter when it’s time to stop. Ever wondered what toothbrush your dentist uses at home? Look no further. The Prestige 9900 might be the most expensive electric toothbrush on this list, but it earned the highest overall score in our Lab tests as well as the best consumer satisfaction score.
