Best OverallPhilips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush

Sometimes, we all need a little guidance. That’s where The One (as the brand calls it) comes in: It’ll buzz every 30 seconds, signaling it’s time to move onto another part of your mouth. Then, a longer buzz after two minutes lets you know the job is done. Cu explains that she finds it extra helpful when toothbrushes provide reminders like this. “Without the extra help, some people may inadvertently spend most of their time in one area of their mouth and completely miss others,” she adds. 

 

We love how gentle this one is, too. The battery-powered micro-vibrations work alongside tapered bristles to deliver squeaky clean, polished teeth. It doesn’t completely rotate in your mouth, but Cu personally prefers vibrations and oscillations over full rotating motions anyways, especially for beginners, since they can be too aggressive. Plus, this toothbrush doesn’t need to be charged. Instead, it relies on batteries that keep it working for about a month, which is a win if you’re short on counter space or hate the look of wires everywhere. 

 

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Victoria Veytsman personally recommends the brand’s 9900 Prestige Toothbrush, which comes at a higher price point. 

 

After extensively testing this model, we can honestly say that it’s the perfect toothbrush option for those who are always traveling or someone looking to try an electric toothbrush without the financial commitment or major change to their existing oral care routine. The only thing we wish we could change is the fact that it doesn’t come with smart features (aka it isn’t wifi or Bluetooth enabled and it doesn’t have sensors).
