Dental care is now a fundamental issue in everyone’s life, for a matter of health in the first place and a not so negligible question of aesthetics. Care does not necessarily mean going to the dentist when the situation is not pleasant. Cure very often means prevention nowadays. Indeed, we can define prevention as an intelligent form of treatment. What is the best way to protect our teeth from an undesirable fate? Wash them with an electric toothbrush.
The most recent studies in dentistry have demonstrated the overwhelming superiority in terms of the effectiveness of the electric toothbrush. Here’s why we should all use it, which one and how to choose?

Brand
The undisputed leaders in the electric toothbrush sector are Oral-B and Philips. The other manufacturers appear to be technologically behind. The two aforementioned houses are on the market with unique technologies.
Oral-B with 2D and 3D or with two and three different functions in the cleaning phase. The first rotates and swings. The second adds a pulsation to the movements just listed.
Philips specializes in devices that take advantage of sonic technology, and that oscillate extremely quickly.
Functions
There are different types of models. The cheapest ones are presented in a fairly spartan way, but they perform their task very well. Oral-B and Philips also market products accessible to anyone.
If you want greater comfort, you will want to turn to more complex models, paying an obviously higher amount of money. A very useful function is that of whitening. Through a series of specific movements of the bristles, it is possible to better whitening or cleaning, depending on what you want. However, this is only one of the many features available. Choose, as always, according to your needs.
Ergonomics and Battery
Also, consider the question of form. It must be a comfortable model that you will use several times a day. As for the battery, there are all kinds. From those with replaceable batteries to those with fixed batteries.
Both have their pros and cons. Probably the fixed battery ones are better, especially the models that have a lithium battery. However, those with batteries can be easily managed by purchasing comfortable rechargeable batteries, and also, they will not give you any headaches of fixed battery devices.
A battery failure could affect the use of the entire toothbrush, or you could find yourself with the object discharged and without a charger. Problems easily solved in the case of a battery-operated toothbrush by purchasing two new batteries from any store.
