A useful toothbrush is one you can use comfortably and consistently. Both manual and electric brushes can clean teeth well when used properly with fluoride toothpaste.
Compare everyday use
Consider how the handle feels and whether you can reach all areas of your mouth. Some people find an electric brush easier to use. Your dental professional can help you choose for your needs.
Look at the ongoing cost
Before choosing an electric model, check replacement-head availability and compatibility. Read the exact model description: a timer or pressure sensor offered on one model may not be included on another.
Keep the comparison fair
Write down the purchase price, replacement costs, charging needs and warranty terms. A more expensive model is not automatically the best fit for your habits.
