I don’t know why I never tried an electric toothbrush until this year, but when my dentist recommended one like this, the Oral-B Pro 1000, I finally did. I wish I had gotten one earlier, because I love it! When the rechargeable battery died the other day (my fault — I’d ignored the low-battery light), I had to use my regular toothbrush, and it just couldn’t compare.
This brush is part of Oral-B’s Pro series of electric toothbrushes. The top model in their high-end series, iO, is $380 (!), but Pro series starts at under $20, with the Pro 100. (I don’t really need Bluetooth and AI tech in my toothbrush!)
My favorite feature of my new brush — besides the fact that it cleans better than a manual one — is that it uses a particular vibration pattern to tell you when it’s time to move on to a new part of your mouth, giving each quadrant 30 seconds. It doesn’t shut off after 2 minutes, though, so you can repeat any areas if needed. Another welcome feature: The brush head stops moving if you’re brushing too hard.
If I were going to spend more on an electric brush, I’d buy a model that’s a bit quieter with a longer battery life, but right now, this one’s good enough for me. (You can always just leave it in the charger 24/7 and not worry about battery life.)
The Pro 1000 toothbrush from Oral-B is under $50 at Amazon and available in both black and white. It comes with one brush head, and in three months, you’ll need a new one. (Lots of types are available.)
