Curious about Sonicare’s powerful sonic technology that helps remove plaque from teeth but not ready to invest too much in your next toothbrush? We love that the Sonicare 4100 offers all of Sonicare’s favorite features at an excellent price, including a two-minute timer, pressure sensor and two intensity settings to choose from, which is especially helpful for those with sensitive gums or teeth. Though this model doesn’t include a travel case, we like its slim, lightweight design and compact charger that can be plugged into USB-A anywhere you go. Oral Care Wellness All Oral Care Electric Toothbrushes Toothpastes Whiteners Floss Mouthwashes Water FlossersDr. Lawrence Fung practices dentistry at Silicon Beach Dental in Southern California. He is also a clinical instructor at the University of California, Los Angeles Center for Esthetic Dentistry and is the current team dentist for University of Southern California Athletics. As a general rule, sonic electric toothbrushes, like those produced by Philips Sonicare, tend to be quieter. Battery life is the biggie. It’s now unusual to get an old-school NiMH battery that runs out in less than two weeks and takes most of a day to charge, but they still exist. More modern lithium-ion batteries will give you two to four weeks of brushing – or more – without a recharge, and will take anywhere between three and 12 hours to reach full capacity.

It is confirmation for those skeptical that the plant based bristles are no less effective than the more typical nylon option. Patients who use electric toothbrushes are a lot less likely to suffer from gum disease”, says Dr Edwards-Lunn. “Unfortunately, gum disease is a multifactoral disease. Just having an electric toothbrush doesn’t mean you won’t get it. But it will mean the risk is much reduced. The most important thing is removing the plaque.” Will electric toothbrushes help with receding gums? Despite all the technical innovations that we have experienced, electric toothbrushes are not yet silent.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 Zoe Malin is an associate updates editor at Select who has been covering dental hygiene products for years. She’s published guides about toothpaste, kids toothpaste, floss, water flossers, teeth whitening products and more. For this piece, Zoe interviewed three dentists, researched dozens of electric toothbrushes and familiarized herself with the ADA’s guidelines. A sonic electric toothbrush generally produces somewhere in the region of 31,000 brush strokes per minute. That is over 500 brush strokes per second. It is not possible to test every toothbrush that exists on the market today. So, yes, theoretically there may well be a quieter or louder brush available that might not be on the list. As a general rule, I am including products that are more widely sold and available to the vast majority of people. How I measure the sound? According to Dr. Schlenoff, if used properly, both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective. He says it's really a matter of personal preference. While they can both do a good job cleaning your teeth, an electric toothbrush comes with smart technology like pressure sensors, facial recognition, and brushing timers. If those features are appealing to you, you may prefer an electric toothbrush.

The Oral-B iO Series 8 Electric Toothbrush, with its compact design and travel-friendly features, is an excellent companion for on-the-go dental care. Depending on how long you like to brush your teeth for, automatic power off can be helpful or annoying, but it’s not a big factor overall.

The best electric toothbrushes you can buy in 2023

Otherwise, it has the same tech and the same key strengths as the iO Series 6 and iO Series 9, giving you a smoother brush with less vibration than the older Genius models, yet still delivering an excellent ‘fresh from the dentists’ clean. You also get the same pressure sensor and timer, the same two weeks plus battery life, and the same OLED display and app-connected features. Given that the differences between this brush and the Series 9 are minor, the Series 8 makes a pretty strong case for itself as the best Oral-B brush to buy. Smart functionality – connect the toothbrush with a smartphone app that allows you to see exactly where you’re brushing, and get real-time guidance to achieve better brushing results. I can’t say one model has stood out for being particularly loud. That ‘loud’ categorization applies to Oral-B as a whole. For example, if it produces 50 decibels in the standard clean mode, but 53 in the whitening mode, it is the 53 decibels that I record. A fall from even a few inches could potentially cause a cable to come loose or a part to become misaligned inside the handle.

iO Series:>Oral-B’s flagship range, using a new magnetic motor and redesigned heads for a gentle yet effective clean. Smart features come as standard, while the higher-end models come with magnetic chargers and other premium accessories. The GHI recruited a panel of 317 testers to trial 30 electric toothbrushes for a fortnight. They were asked to judge each model on its ease of use, design, features, battery life and overall performance. We asked them to use a disclosing tablet before and after brushing their teeth to determine how effective their toothbrush was at removing plaque. Simply switching to an electric toothbrush cannot guarantee healthy teeth, of course. A good toothpaste, brushing technique, brushing at the right time and flossing are all crucial too. But an electric toothbrush is certainly a good start. Dried toothpaste and gunk in and around the head as well as around the shaft can affect the performance. It may cause the brush head not to move quite as it should. Parts may not travel as freely or their path of movement might be disrupted in turn affecting the noise and efficiency with which they operate. The pacer is a dentist recommended feature that helps you achieve this. It’s configured to 30 second intervals and works as expected.For noise-sensitive dogs who need their teeth cleaned, the Emmi-pet toothbrush is a game changing solution. The silent ultrasonic cleaning provides a calming and surprisingly thorough dental care experience dogs will readily accept. I highly recommend this toothbrush to solve dental care struggles and keep your dog's teeth sparkling clean. That being said, their products are made in and shipped from China. It would be preferable if they were made elsewhere, but the reality is China is one of the most well-equipped countries to produce these products. It will take time before SURI can establish its own manufacturing in other, arguably better places. Ease of Use: From the moment we open the box, we're noting how easy the toothbrushes are to set up and whether the settings are intuitive to use. Products with simpler assembly and out-of-the-box operation score higher than more complicated models. 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. Setting it up was a breeze and highly intuitive; no manual consultation was needed. One button for the setting, another to power it on, and adjusting intensity mid-brush was easy. The handle design, reminiscent of our older Sonicare, made maneuvering easy. The brush head size was perfect, offering comfort and efficient coverage.
