A traditional toothbrush pales in comparison to the best electric toothbrushes. Sure, the former are far cheaper, somewhat easier to maintain and don’t require a recharge. However, the latter can help you achieve what we’re all after: kudos at the dentist. Seriously.
I know this because last time I got my teeth cleaned, my dentist actually remarked that they could see improvements from my prior visit. They asked what changed, and my response was a simple, “I switched to using an electric toothbrush.” It’s that easy. Sort of. Of course, just owning an electric toothbrush won’t magically improve your oral health overnight, as there are still plenty of other positive habits that can help, like brushing twice a day and using your toothbrush properly (routine flossing doesn’t hurt either).
If my experience is enough to sway you to use an electric toothbrush, then here I am to help you one step further. With so many variations of e-brushes on the market, uncovering “the best” isn’t an easy task. That’s why I compiled a list of 7 electric toothbrushes to test them side by side. After weeks of using each as my daily driver, I found three I consider the best.
