Going Electric – Powered Toothbrushes That Are Worth Your Time

April 25, 2018Drs. Elam, Vaughan, & Fleming

A basic toothbrush can keep your mouth clean, remove debris, and keep plaque at bay when used regularly. However, electric toothbrushes provide a wide range of benefits for different people. Those who suffer from joint issues or arthritis will appreciate the lack of effort inherent in an electric toothbrush. The power provided by electric toothbrushes is also useful, as it can do a thorough cleaning job even in those hard to reach places.

Whether you’re interested in making your brushing routine more interesting or want to reap the benefits of a powered toothbrush, upgrading to an electric toothbrush may be the perfect way to switch up your brushing sessions.

What Do Electric Toothbrushes Offer That’s Different?

The most obvious thing that an electric toothbrush can do for you is make brushing easier. Rather than making consistent small movements with your wrist and forearm, you can simply press the button and guide the toothbrush where you want it to clean. Many of these toothbrushes also provide added power allowing them to easily remove plaque. Other advantages include aesthetics, convenience, and simply spicing up your routine.

Oral-B 7000 SmartSeries with Bluetooth Connectivity

The 7000 SmartSeries by Oral-B is not your average electric toothbrush. With Bluetooth Technology, it tracks your brushing habits providing real-time feedback about your performance. This feedback connects to your smartphone, enabling you to view it at your convenience.

Aside from providing superior feedback, the 7000 SmartSeries also uses a Cross Action brush head with bristles tilted at different angles. It’s also versatile, with seven options for replaceable brush heads and six distinct modes for a complete brushing experience. To start with a powered toothbrush that is far more advanced than most, consider the 7000 SmartSeries by Oral-B.

Unique Features of the 7000 SmartSeries Rechargeable Toothbrush

  • 6 Modes: Daily Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening, Deep Clean, & Tongue Cleaner
  • Includes 3 different brush heads, a Smart Guide, and a charging station
  • Available for $134.39

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Rechargeable Toothbrush

Claiming that it can whiten your teeth in one week and improve the health of your gums in two, the Sonicare DiamondClean is a high quality powered toothbrush by Philips. The DiamondClean includes two timers built into it that encourage a complete brushing experience – one ensures that you brush for a full 2-minutes while the other is a quadpacer that helps you hit all four quarters of your mouth for adequate time.

Chargeability is also an important concern when it comes to an electric toothbrush, and the DiamondClean Toothbrush has you covered. One charge will keep it going for 42 uses, and there are two ways to keep it charged. It comes with a charging glass that powers it up as it simply rests, and the glass can double as an actual glass for rinsing with water. Plus, the travel case allows you to charge it while it rests in its portable, sanitary storage compartment.  

Unique Features of the Sonicare DiamondClean Rechargeable Toothbrush

  • 5 Modes: Clean, White, Polish, Gum Care, or Sensitive
  • USB Charging Case Makes it Perfect for Traveling
  • Available for $189.95

Pursonic High Powered Sonic Rechargeable Toothbrush

For a high-quality electric toothbrush that’s available for less than half the price of the others on the list, check out the Pursonic High Powered Sonic Toothbrush. Designed for power, this toothbrush rotates at an astonishing 40,000 strokes per minute. This gives it the power to remove plaque and stains and to conduct a thorough cleaning job even in the difficult parts of your mouth.

In addition to power, this brush is an excellent value for those with a big family, because it comes with 12 extra brush heads. That way, up to 12 people can share the toothbrush without sharing their germs. A timer alerts you when you’ve been in one spot for too long, and three modes ensure that you get the brushing experience you need for a bright healthy smile.

Unique Features of the Sonicare DiamondClean Rechargeable Toothbrush

  • 3 Color Options: Black, Blue, and White
  • Includes 2-minute timer and a vibrating alarm to encourage thorough brushing
  • Available for $39.95

How Do You Prefer to Care for Your Teeth?

While most people still use a manual toothbrush and a tube of store-bought toothpaste, there are many alternatives to make your brushing experience fun and interesting again. With features that can vastly improve your brushing experience while adding convenience, an electric toothbrush may be the optimal choice for improving your oral health. Oral care at home is vital, but so is seeing your dentist – Contact our dental team in Nashville, TN if you’re ready for your next appointment.
