There are many options for an electric toothbrush, but we should remember that what we purchase will give us what we pay for. Some people will settle for something cheaper from an online shopping website, so what would be expected from a cheap one? of course you get what you pay for, poor performance and will give you more problems than you think.
What should we look for in an electric toothbrush for better oral health?
We should look for an American Dental Association (ADA) approved product, a seal of acceptance will be visible and means it is a product that will do the job effectively and safely. There are various brands with different mechanisms but they still give the same results.
What type of electric toothbrush should I choose?

Rotating bristles are common and the most affordable
- Rotating- Oscillating these have round heads rotating in one direction and the opposite direction on one tooth at a time.
- Pulsating brushes rotate and rotating and oscillating making the head move back and forth when spinning to help remove plaque.
