Asking for a friend
A Phillips sonicare toothbrush and a bunch of the heads. Idk if any other “sonic” or electric toothbrushes are similarly effective but it’s one of the few things I’ve bought in the last 10 years that I unequivocally recommend to everybody.
I always used to have one or two little problems when I would go to the dentist normally and ever since getting it I’m golden. When I have to go somewhere without it for a few days and take a regular toothbrush my mouth starts to feel disgusting.
electric toothbrushes are basically a duopoly between sonicare and oral-b, studies are equal for both. main difference between the two is that sonicare uses vibration and you brush normally with it, oral-b is more like a oscillating electric car buffer so you basically slide it over the teeth as it does the brushing motion. i prefer the oral-b after trying both only because the head is smaller and that helps me reach my back molars/wisdom teeth easier
only recommendation for buying one is that make sure it has a 4 quadrant timer and a pressure sensor that alerts you when you’re brushing too hard, these are features usually in the 30-50 buck range, anything over that is giving you random phone app bullshit you dont need lmao
if you really, really wanna splurge on this shit i hear the new magnetic drive oral-b brushes are pretty good but they cost way too much for me to consider buying one
