Panasonic EW-DM81-W503 Sonic Electric Toothbrush, Rechargeable (2 Heads, 2 Modes of Use, 31,000 Vibrations per Minute, Lightweight Design)

Product Information

Intrinsic stains within the teeth, by contrast, are down to age or genetics. Dentists can perform tooth-whitening procedures on intrinsic stains. Using an electric toothbrush will not remove intrinsic stains, but will reduce the likelihood of adding extrinsic stains.” While I’ve tested a ton of beard trimmers and hair clippers, my experience with electric toothbrushes isn’t as extensive. I can tell you that I’ve had a great experience using the Multishape Electric Toothbrush, and now it feels weird when I try to brush with a regular brush.

It's not quite as chic. However, if you want a brilliant toothbrush and aren't a frequent traveler, it's one of the best options around. There’s a lot to love about the overall design and function of the Multishape. If this was a mediocre beard trimmer or electric toothbrush, then it wouldn’t be a very exciting product, but that’s not the case. Fortunately, I wanted to use every single attachment and accessory that came with this men’s grooming tool. The SPY team has tested hundreds of grooming products in 2022, and we recently named the Panasonic Multishape the best grooming product of the year in the SPY Best of 2022 Awards.When you travel a lot, there’s nothing more annoying than forgetting your toothbrush because you left it charging in a hotel somewhere. But good news – instead of needing cables, this smart gadget charges inside its travel case. Last, electric toothbrushes use a sonic vibrating mechanism to help loosen plaque and other debris from between your teeth. The vibration number—usually between 30,000 and 40,000 per minute—is a good number to know, but not crucial to the overall operation. Another factor is how frequently you travel. Most of the electric toothbrushes we've tested come with a travel case, but the higher-end brushes have cases with rechargeable batteries, so your brush doesn't run flat during long trips away. A typical electric toothbrush won't need charging more than once a week, so if you're rarely away from home longer than that, you could save money by skipping the fancy case. Brushing your teeth at least twice daily is the foundation for maintaining proper oral health. The American Dental Association (ADA) endorses the use of both a manual and an electric toothbrush to keep those pearly whites healthy, but research has shown that an electric toothbrush can be more effective at removing oral plaque and food particles. While you've likely sworn allegiance to particular brands for your other gadgets –hands up who refuses to be anything other than Team iPhone– there really doesn't need to be that much loyalty when it comes to toothbrushes, mostly because there are quite a few solid options available.

Complete with top-spec features, you'll find a well-crafted, ergonomic handle that makes tooth-cleaning a relative doddle morning and night, with a handy buzz to warn you that you've completed the mandatory two minutes of cleaning each time. Once we had this list, we took a closer look at the features and specifications on offer. By comparing what each model brought to the table, we were then able to filter out the best electric toothbrushes. We considered types of toothbrush to suit different circumstances as well, such as child-friendly designs and those which promote flossing. How to choose the best electric toothbrush for you I expected a lot from this brand, which was founded by two cosmetic dentists, and the Spotlight Oral Care Sonic Toothbrush more than delivered.Some toothbrushes combine the two actions and are known as rotating-oscillating. This is my personal recommendation to patients and what I use. Other mechanisms of action include pulsing and sonic. Pulsing and sonic are additional features to a rotating, oscillating or rotating-oscillating brush.” There are two different kinds of motion in most modern electric toothbrushes; sonic and oscillating. I think it’s unlikely that the Multishape would win out over the best electric toothbrushes from brands like Oral-B and Philips. However, if you’ve been curious about using an electric toothbrush, this is a great way to try them out without investing in an expensive sonic electric toothbrush. It’s true you can still get the progress reports and ‘journeys’ if you leave your phone in the bedroom – the toothbrush talks to the app via Bluetooth – but in practice I found that I stopped bothering after a few days. On the plus side, those few days’ guidance were enough to change how I brush my teeth. I spend much longer on each zone now, trying to get the little smiley face on the toothbrush’s built-in screen that says I’ve done well. It's not a true smart brush like the above Oral-B, as it has no sensor to detect mouth position, but it will flash if you put too much pressure on your gums and has both regular and sensitive modes. For thirty dollars, or the equivalent? It's excellent.

In our tests, it gave a good, thorough clean on the everyday setting, though it's pretty vigorous, so we'd recommend trying out the sensitive mode first to see how you find it; you might not need to try the more intense settings. The brush's well-designed charging case is another highlight worth mentioning and offers a choice of charging options to keep your brush powered up on the move. It's not so basic that it doesn't have a pressure sensor or a few cleaning modes –four to be exact– but it throws away the AI tech found in the likes of top Oral-B and Philips models in favour of a solid handle, an ergonomic, long-lasting design, and a marathon-length battery. Number of cleaning modes: 7 - Daily Clean, Sensitive, Gum Care, Intense Clean, Super Sensitive, Tongue Clean, and Whiten It's a seriously stylish electric toothbrush, too, with a sleek, minimalist design and chic carry case to keep it charged on the go. It's also the quietest electric toothbrush we've tested to date, emitting only a subtle hum.Pros: One of the most complete electric brushes available | Smart cleaning features | Charging travel case

Anyone not used to a water flosser should ease into it slowly — the transition from soft water pressure to jet propulsion can cause bleeding gums and a messy bathroom floor.Because of its larger size, you'll need a bigger countertop than a pedestal sink, too. How we tested the best electric toothbrushes I had never imagined that an electric toothbrush could be a stylish accessory, but this one has a smooth, ergonomic design that’s a minimalist’s dream. One brushed silver button switches it off and on, and toggles between three brushing modes: ‘Sensitive,’ ‘Clean,’ and ‘White.’ Other toothbrushes offer more speed settings, but I found this to be more than enough (and less confusing). It uses Sonic technology that moves bristles side-to-side at a rate of up to 48,000 reps per minute. The reason I love this toothbrush so much is the intuitive design coupled with the fact that I can feel the deep-cleaning effects (the closest I’ve got to a hygienist-standard clean at home). Even though it cleans powerfully, it doesn’t feel too harsh on my gums. It also has a remarkably long-lasting battery – I started by testing it daily for four weeks and only had to charge it once in that time. It’s definitely won a permanent place in my bathroom cabinet.Top review: "Highly recommend you get one, lots of settings to choose from you're bound to find one that's best for you, love it so much bought them for all the family." Most of the best electric toothbrushes have a number of common features. For starters, they have a two-minute timer with 30-second intervals, which lets you know you're brushing your teeth for the ADA-approved amount of time. Oscillating toothbrushes feature rotating and pulsating round brush heads that can rotate up to ~8,000 times per minute, depending on the model. While they're slower in this department, oscillating toothbrushes benefit from the rotating head, which is fantastic for fighting plaque. With its pressurized water flosser (10 to 100 psi), the Waterpik Complete Care delivers a devastating blow to hidden food particles and plaque while being gentle on your gum line. The unit includes multiple flossing tips/brush heads, a 2-minute timer with a 30-second pacer for interactive cleaning, a magnetic cradle to hold both handles, a pressure-control dial and a travel toothbrush case.
