The best electric toothbrush

Having a best electric toothbrush is crucial since our oral hygiene have the ability to effect our general health. It's not exaggeration that you could live longer if you brush your teeth proper and regularly.

In 2016, scientists discovered that brushing your teeth regularly could slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This research have found out the oral disease can 6 time speed up mental decline.

How do you go about upping your oral hygiene game (short of becoming best friends with a dentist)? Many would recommend an electric toothbrush and, over the past fifty years or so, they have become staples in bathrooms all over the world. But is an electric model really what's best for you?

The evidence, and the expert advice, says yes. The Telegraph caught up with dentist Dr Toby Edwards-Lunn, who helped pen a detailed guide on how best to brush teeth, and he was unequivocal on the benefits of going electric.

"This day and age the technology is so good, you don't need to put any elbow grease into it. The brush does it for us", said Dr Edwards-Lunn. "From the age of six to 96, all my patients are aided by using an electric toothbrush."

Simply switching to an electric toothbrush cannot guarantee healthy teeth. A good toothpaste, brushing technique, brushing at the right time and flossing are all crucial too. But an electric toothbrush is certainly a good start.

"Patients who use electric toothbrushes are a lot less likely to suffer from gum disease", says Dr Edwards-Lunn, co-founder of Dr Heff's Remarkable Mints, a sugar-free mint that helps protect teeth from tooth decay and acid attacks throughout the day.  "Unfortunately, gum disease is a multifactoral disease. Just having an electric toothbrush doesn't mean you won't get it. But it will mean the risk is much reduced. The most important thing is removing the plaque."

And with more than half of patients the dentist sees having a high plaque score – even those who brush twice a day – moving to an electric option will certainly help.

"Gums recede for lots of reasons. Patients can be susceptible to it, or they can sometimes brush too hard. They can have past problems with gum disease, which could have caused it. And they can have a thin biotype of gum, where it's a genetic thing.

"Because an electric toothbrush does the work for you, and will hopefully tell you when you're pushing too hard, it can help protect against further recession."

"There's a common misconception with whitening teeth. All the on-shelf products won't whiten your teeth, they will reduce the amount of stain on your teeth. You've got extrinsic stains, which are on the outside of the teeth, from food, drinks and cigarettes.

"Intrinsic stains are down to age or genetics. Tooth whitening in the dental surgery affects intrinsic stains. By using an electric toothbrush you are going to reduce the likelihood of putting on extrinsic stains, but will not remove the stain once they're already in."

1. WF-1206 sonic electric toothbrush

There's a lot to like about this toothbrush, starting with the promise on the box: "Removes up to 10 X more plaque", (I assume the "up to" means my brushing technique is still important). There's the fact it's pretty stylish: the brush is plain white, and it comes with a travel USB charging case that looks more like a Bluetooth speaker.

Then there are the variety of settings: Gum Health, which adds an extra minute for low-powered gum brushing; Deep Clean, a three-minute power wash; and White, which supposedly works harder to remove those coffee and tea stains you're likely to get in the morning.

I opt for Sensitive, which goes easy on the precious gums. Even so, it's far more potent than what I'm used to (a manual brush). During my first use, the toothpaste slides off the vibrating bristles. When I reload, and successfully get it to my mouth, I quickly learn the golden rule: don't open your mouth while brushing, or it will splatter everywhere.

The brushing itself is good, and I like the extra features – if not the undersized accompanying cup. Essentially, it's a very good electric toothbrush, charges quickly and stays powerful for a long time. But a glance at the price will show that those features do come at a premium.

2. WF-291 Rotation electric toothbrush

All the usual features are there, the two-minute timer for example, and it tells you when you brush too hard, which is handy.

Why's the Oral-B Pro 2000 so much cheaper than the Philips Sonicare? I hear you ask. Well, with the Sonicare you get a bunch of extra features - the various brush settings; the glass holder; the funky travel case. While we liked these additions, if you're not looking to spend too much, the Oral-B is a good option, and there's very little in it in terms of actual brushing.

3. WF-1043 kids electric toothbrush

According to the experts, children should use electric toothbrushes too. OK, I'm 20-years older than the target audience, but for what it's worth, I loved this brush.

It's battery powered, which is always easier, though you have to ensure the brushing is still effective. The bristles are incredibly soft, so they won't scratch children's teeth or damage their gums.

But the best feature, undoubtedly, is the flashing disco lights, which makes brushing fun (for this 26-year old at least).
