What Electric Toothbrush is Best for You? How to Find a Great Electric Toothbrush

Have you grown tired or dissatisfied with your manual toothbrush? Has brushing your teeth become so mundane that you’re desperate to change things up? An electric toothbrush may be the solution. The question then becomes: what’s the best electric toothbrush for you?

At its core, a great electric toothbrush is one you enjoy using and offers you and your family a thorough clean. But there’s a chance you are looking for a toothbrush with a more targeted aim—like advanced whitening or a deep cleaning option to help remove plaque. This article will help provide a guide for how to find the best electric toothbrush for you or your kids, plus give you some insight into the diverse Spinbrush™ electric toothbrush portfolio so you can make the best choice for you or your little ones!


What Kind of Electric Toothbrushes Are Offered?

Electric toothbrushes can have different stylistic looks and designs. Mechanically, though, you are choosing between a battery-powered electric toothbrush or a rechargeable electric toothbrush.

A battery-powered electric toothbrush is essentially what it sounds like, where you have built-in batteries that transmit electrical currents to help the brush rotate or oscillate. You have to replace those batteries after a while, generally every 4 to 6 weeks. Many battery-powered electric toothbrushes include your first pair of batteries when you purchase.

A rechargeable electric toothbrush works the same from a functional perspective, and the “battery life” may vary between 2-6 weeks. The difference is that you charge by plugging your toothbrush into a charging port when the battery life gets low. Some rechargeable electric toothbrushes may take 12-18 hours to fully charge, though others may take as little as 3 hours.

Regardless of whether you own a battery-powered toothbrush or rechargeable brush, know that you’ll want to replace the brush head every 3-4 months, and sooner if the bristles look frayed or worn. You can also purchase replacement heads for certain electric toothbrushes, like Spinbrush™ PRO CLEAN and Spinbrush™ PRO WHITEN.

How to Choose an Electric Toothbrush for You

Multiple factors go into choosing an electric toothbrush—ultimately, it boils down to personal preference and convenience. If you’re thinking about making the switch from manual to electric, consider some of the following:

  • Cost: You might not be overly excited about paying a premium for a new toothbrush. Battery-powered electric toothbrushes—especially ones with rotating or oscillating heads as opposed to sonic toothbrushes—often have lower price points than rechargeable electric toothbrushes.
  • Convenience: Maybe you travel a lot and are looking for an electric toothbrush that’s portable and can easily be stowed away every time you fly. You may prefer a rechargeable electric toothbrush if you’d like to avoid changing batteries. Alternatively, you might not have space for a charging port in your bathroom and thus opt for a battery-powered toothbrush. These are all things to weigh before buying an electric toothbrush!
  • Brush head size: Some electric toothbrushes have smaller heads, which may offer you the best option if you have smaller teeth. Smaller heads might also clean better in the hard-to-reach places in your mouth, like effectively removing plaque along the gumline. This could also be especially pertinent if you are looking to buy a new toothbrush for your kiddos.
  • Choose your bristles: Do you prefer softer or stiffer bristles? Different electric toothbrushes have different levels of bristle stiffness. Consider your preferences and choose accordingly!
  • Stated benefits: You can find a great electric toothbrush according to your own needs. For example, if you’re looking for an electric toothbrush to help you whiten your teeth, you might choose the Spinbrush™ PRO WHITEN Toothbrush. It has a specialty rotating whitening cup to deliver whiter teeth in one week. If you are hoping to remove plaque, you can opt for the Spinbrush™ PRO Clean Toothbrush, which removes 70 percent more plaque in hard-to-reach places vs. a manual toothbrush. Or, if you have a hard time cleaning your gums, try the Spinbrush™ PRO+ Gum Health Toothbrush. It removes 2X more plaque along the gumline in clinical studies vs. a manual toothbrush.

Spinbrush™ electric toothbrushes are affordable and portable, providing a thorough and effective clean—no matter the benefit you are looking for. Try a Spinbrush™ electric toothbrush today!

How to Choose the Best Electric Toothbrush for Kids

Want to know one of the best ways to get your kids to brush their teeth and practice strong oral hygiene habits? It starts with giving them a toothbrush they’ll love! Here are some factors to consider when you’re trying to find the best electric toothbrush for your kid(s):

  • ADA Seal of Acceptance: Regardless of your chosen electric toothbrush format, you want an option that is stamped with the American Dentists Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. All Spinbrush™ Kid’s electric toothbrushes are ADA-accepted as safe to use, effectively removing plaque and helping to prevent your kiddos from developing gingivitis.
  • Easy-to-use: Electric toothbrushes can prove easier for kids to use than manual toothbrushes (with proper instruction) because kids only need to guide their hands over their teeth and gumlines and let the rotating or oscillating heads do the work. But you also probably want to avoid any brushes that have especially large or tricky handles. Each Spinbrush™ Kid’s electric toothbrush has a textured grip that is easy to hold, allowing your children to focus on getting a deep clean instead of getting a firm handle on the brush.
  • Do your kids need extra help? You want to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes apiece. But getting the timing right may prove challenging for your kids, especially if they’re still learning to count! You can’t always be there to help guide the little ones through the brushing process. Luckily, some brushes help to do this for you! The Spinbrush™ Smart Clean™ Glow in the Dark Kid’s Spinbrush™ Toothbrush and Smart Clean™ Shimmery Sparkle Kid’s Spinbrush™ Toothbrush have built-in 2-minute timers and 30-second pacers to help your kids brush their full mouths for the recommended amount of time.
  • What’s their age & stage? Younger children might have an affinity for some of their favorite daytime cartoons or characters from sing-along shows. Older kids might become more immersed in the world of cinema or video games, and their likes may change over time. You want a toothbrush that can match their evolution, and Spinbrush™ electric toothbrushes do just that! Whether it’s CoComelon™ Kid’s Spinbrush™ Toothbrush, PAW Patrol™ Kid’s Spinbrush Toothbrush, Spider-Man™ Kid’s Spinbrush Toothbrush, or Super Mario™ Kid’s Spinbrush™ Toothbrush, find a great electric toothbrush for your child—no matter their age or stage!

Want a great electric toothbrush that can keep your kiddos’ teeth white and healthy while offering fun character connections they’ll enjoy? Look no further than Spinbrush™ Kid’s electric toothbrushes.
