5 Electric Toothbrushes For An Effective Clean
Get a sparkling smile with our roundup of the best electric toothbrushes on the market
Electric toothbrushes aren’t just stylish — compared to traditional toothbrushes, they have the unparalleled ability to combat plaque and promote healthier teeth and gums. Why? Electric toothbrushes are able to clean between teeth, around back teeth and in other hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. This prevents the buildup of plaque, which means no more tartar, decay, or other dental issues.
Electric toothbrushes have a long lifespan and come with replaceable brush heads, hence it may be more environmentally friendly than a manual toothbrush. Technology has made it possible for electric toothbrushes to have batteries and sustainable packaging that can be recycled.
The most advanced electric toothbrush in our edit, it comes with seven smart modes to personalise your brushing: Daily Clean, Sensitive, Gum Care, Intense Clean, Whitening, Tongue Cleaner, Super Sensitive. There’s even Artificial Intelligence Brushing Recognition which enables 3D tracking to monitor your brushing across the front, top and back surfaces of your teeth across 16 zones of your mouth — guiding you to a thorough clean.
The sonic vibrations of up to 40,000 brush strokes per minute effortlessly sweep away plaque and promote healthier gums. The ZenyumSonic™ has a self-timer and auto-off function to ensure you don’t overbrush, while the DuPont bristles create micro-pressure bubbles for a deeper clean. It also comes in five stylish colours.
ISSA™ 3 is the world’s first silicone sonic toothbrush and is designed with a unique hybrid brush head, made of medical-grade silicone and bacteria-resistant bristles. Up to 10,000x more hygienic than regular nylon toothbrushes, these bristles are also gentle on sensitive gums. The front of the 360° brush head cleans teeth and gums, while the back cleans cheeks and tongue. That’s why it’s clinically proven to improve overall oral hygiene by 140%. And one charge can last up to a year!
If you like personalisation, pick your favourite brushing speed, mode and duration via the Xiaomi Home app. Detailed data and analysis reports can be viewed on the Xiaomi Home app to help you develop a good brushing habit. The higher density and convex-shaped bristles of the ultra-thin 4mm brush head will give a more thorough cleaning experience.
Sonic technology is suitable for use with braces, fillings, crowns, and veneers, and it pulses water between teeth while the brush strokes break up plaque and sweep it away for an exceptional daily clean. Brushing too hard can damage your teeth and gums, so the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean prevents this by emitting a gentle pulsing sound to remind you to ease off on the pressure.
