The Best Cheap Electric Toothbrushes of 2019
Summary
Researchers cant agree whether electric toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque than manual toothbrushes, or, which type of electric toothbrush is best: Unless your dentist has recommended a toothbrush for its health benefits, its safe to assume that marketing claims are puffery. "People who have dexterity problems—like the elderly, people with disabilities, or children—or those who have dental appliances, like braces, may find a powered toothbrush easier to use," according to the American Dental Association. The best electric toothbrushes are waterproof, quick to charge and have reasonable operating costs (always check the price and availability of replacement brush heads before buying an electric toothbrush). A good electric toothbrush (with verified, above-average reviews) costs approximately $29, according to a 12-month analysis of price trends. Those same electric toothbrushes cost around $19 while on sale: an average discount of 34%.
