Best electric toothbrush

welshdent

Personally I dont think you need to spend anything like that. The most important aspect for me is it should be rechargeable. After that it should be one with a small round oscillating head and if you can bring in a timer to the device then great but not essential. A standard oral b type one should be fine which is normally on offer from places like super drug. They are the easiest to use and work well IMO.

I have this one from QVC, I think its great, don't even have to visit the hygienist anymore although the "ticklishness" of it does take a bit of getting used to, I literally had tears rolling down my cheeks the first couple of times I used it.

As some of the electric toothbrushes in this thread are discontinued, does anyone have a recommendation for a dsecent electric toothbrush for around £30?

thanks

I had an ultrasonnex for years (had 2 of then I think). Then I bought a Phillips sonnex. Then I got fed up feeling I was being fleeced for brushheads, so bought an Oral B sonix (Vitality) for the cheap brushheads. But its not as clean feeling as either of the other two.

I love sonic ones & I like quite large brushheads (one thing I didn't like about the Phillips, the brush head is quite small.

Quick question to the Braun users - do any of these models allow you to use the brush hard-wired to the charger/socket or do they only let you use them wirelessly (ie. on the internal battery) ?

I've been doing a lot of research into electric toothbrushes as I want to get one myself but I'm seeing long lists of complaints on all the Braun models about charge life - most needing replacing after one year as the battery stops holding any charge. Not surprisingly, this is very much putting me off getting one :cool:.

Both my dentist and hygienist have said to get an oscillating one as they're much better at cleaning that the non-oscillating ones (seems that other dentist's in this thread have said the same too) so that rules out the Philipps ones. :cool:

Bumping thread to ask a question.

My OralB round head brush will no longer charge - is it a case of chucking it?

I have a spare, but it's an Oral B Vitality Sonic - I'm not keen on the sound and it doesn't feel as good. However, I think I read somewhere that sonic brushes make teeth whiter. Did I dream that?

Joking apart - persist with sonic or buy a new rotary one?

All the replacement heads fit all the handles. Unless you buy the sonic brush then you need the sonic replacement head.

If you look at the link and click 'works with' below the selection of 7 different heads you will see the range.

It doesn't really matter which model you buy as the basic brushing technique is the same for all - just read the instruction leaflet to ensure that you are using it properly and getting most benefit from it.

What about this Toothbrush?

"Isn’t it great when someone creates a product to make our lives easier? A toothbrush that holds toothpaste inside the handle.

The toothpaste cartridge holds up to 40g of paste in the brush, which is enough for 15 days. Once the toothpaste runs out, you just replace it with another cartridge.

The rechargeable brush works by containing a pumping ball that releases compressed air from inside the cartridge to the grip of the brush."

Cant post images or links...this forum does not allow it.
