The 9 Very Best Electric Toothbrushes
For better or worse your toothbrush doubles as bathroom decor. Keeping it out might help you remember to use it twice a day, but a bacteria-collecting, sometimes clunky and in the way toothbrush is a permanent fixture on your countertop. Having one you won’t mind looking at everyday is a good idea. Cosmetic dentist Stephanie Dumanian of Park Lex 60 Dental says the colors of this toothbrush from start-up brand Goby are “like eye candy for your bathroom counter.” This moonstone line has an eye-catching iridescent look, but if you are looking for even more color, you can opt for a bold pink or blue. It’s not just nice to look at though: “The oscillating head provides a deeper clean than most entry level toothbrushes,” she says. “And the subscription service takes the guesswork out of when to change the toothbrush head out so you don’t have to worry about overgrowth of bacteria.” Even if you don’t opt into the subscription service, the Goby brushes’ power button lights up when it’s time to replace the head. It also has a small round brush head, similar to Oral-B’s, with soft bristles, and a built-in quadrant timer.
