Still using a manual brush? Consider one of the upgrades below.
, a dentist at Apa Aesthetic in NYC. “What makes an electric brush superior is that [the best ones] usually oscillate around 3,000 to 7,500 strokes per minute.” And if you’re curious about the primary difference between “electric” and “sonic” options, it’s also in the strokes: “Sonic toothbrushes, which are considered superior, rotate at approximately 30,000 brush strokes each minute,” Kairouz adds.
So, while electric toothbrushes and sonic toothbrushes are technically two different categories, we’ll put them under the same umbrella of electric toothbrushes here. And while most of our picks below are sonic, we’ll still denote which of the two categories each falls into. Their benefits go beyond the amount of strokes per minute, though: “Using a sonic or electric toothbrush is recommended for the built-in two-minute timer,” Kairouz says. “And also because the oscillation of these toothbrushes has been scientifically shown to decrease more plaque and gingivitis than manual toothbrushes. Studies show that after three months of use, plaque was reduced by 21 percent and gingivitis by 11 percent.
Below are our own favorite electric and sonic toothbrushes, which can significantly improve your teeth brightness and gum strength while reducing the potential for cavities. They all have soft bristles, too, which Kairouz says is imperative. “Manual or electric, always avoid hard bristles, which can irritate your gums and lead to recession,” he explains. “And of course, change your brush head every three months, or whenever you get sick.
