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.
