    Frequently asked questions

    How do I choose the best electric toothbrush?
    Compare brush head style, pressure sensor, timer, battery life, replacement head cost, travel case, cleaning modes, and whether app coaching is actually useful to you.
    Sonic or oscillating toothbrush: which is better?
    Both can clean well when used correctly. Sonic brushes feel gentler to some people, while oscillating heads give a smaller round brushing surface that many users find easy to guide.
    Are smart toothbrushes worth it?
    Smart features can help with coaching and coverage, but they are not necessary for everyone. A pressure sensor and timer are often the most useful features.
    How often should brush heads be replaced?
    Most electric toothbrush heads should be replaced every few months or sooner if bristles fray. Replacement head cost is worth checking before choosing a brush.
