How to choose an electric toothbrush?

08 July 2025

Oral hygiene starts with good brushing. With the diversity of electric toothbrush models, it can be difficult to make the right choice. Here are our tips:

---

### 1. **Oscillo-rotating or sonic? **

The oscillating brushes perform circular movements, while the sonic ones vibrate at a high frequency. Both are effective, but some studies show a slight superiority of sonic models for plaque.

### 2. **With pressure sensor**

This type of sensor prevents brushing too aggressively, ideal for sensitive gums or children.

### 3. **Built-in timer**

A good brushing lasts 2 minutes. A timer guides you to respect this time, which is often ignored in manual routines.

### 4. **Interchangeable and soft head**

Opt for heads with soft and certified bristles. It is recommended to change them every 3 months.
