Now that we all know the benefits of using an Electric toothbrush vs. manual toothbrush, it’s time to find the right one for you.

“There are so many options! I just want something to brush my teeth with” –  We hear you. However, this is something you have to get right. After all you want to make sure your teeth are well looked after. 

There are two different types of electric toothbrushes out there. Oscillating brushes use a 3D cleaning action helps the brush head adapt to your teeth as it oscillates, rotates and pulsates to break up and remove up to 100% more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush. On the other hand, Sonic brushes pulsate from side to side using the unique dynamic action to gently and effectively reach deep between teeth and along the gum line.

The general rule of thumb is, the more the movement the better the clean. You may immediately think oscillation is the one. However, this is not true for everyone. If you have sensitive or receding gums, the Sonic motion is much more suitable for you. It is less harsh and provides a gentle clean to ensure you do not experience irritation.
