Studies suggest that your regular brushing and flossing habits can impact more than just what is going on with your teeth and gums. They can even possibly influence the health of your heart and determine your risk for more chronic conditions down the road.

That being said, brushing your teeth isn’t always the most enjoyable part of your day, especially in recent times when you might be staying home a lot more often. It can be easy to skip that recommended time with the brush and paste.

Philips Sonicare 5300 Protective Clean toothbrush

The Philips Sonicare 5300 Protective Clean toothbrush provides a customized brushing experience in addition to the three cleaning modes (white, clean and gum care), it also has a pressure sensor to ensure you’re not harming your gums or over-brushing. Coupled with the QuadPacer technology, which lets you know just the right amount of time you should spend cleaning each part of your mouth, the guesswork of oral hygiene is eliminated and you can be confident that you’re achieving the ideal clean. We can’t forget to mention the super convenient travel case for carrying your brush on the go. Its battery is claimed to last up to 14 days on a single charge, by the way.

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 13,374 5-star reviews

Promising Amazon review: "Newer technology made transitioning from manual brushing to this much easier and less overwhelming. Vibrations start out more gently and gradually increase to 'full function' over series of uses. Makes me feel like I just came back from dental hygienist, cleans that well. Brush head great for smaller mouths." — Aliah

Philips Sonicare One battery-powered toothbrush

Perfect for travel or for those who are in the market for Philips Sonicare technology, but don't want to pay the high price for one, the compact and battery-powered Philips Sonicare One might be a worthy option. Available in seven colors, the One uses ultra-quiet sonic vibrations paired with soft tapered bristles for a clean that's gentle, yet ultra-effective. It's also enabled with a two minute timer so you know exactly how long you need to brush for.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 11,995 5-star reviews

Promising Amazon review: "This a gentle and quiet toothbrush. The carrying case makes it convenient to put anywhere - gym bag, work briefcase, purse, even in the tv/living room so you can brush after snacking while watching TV. I've owned it long enough to know I'm happy with my purchase. So, I went ahead and ordered 4 replacement heads, one to change every 3 months, which is what my hygienist recommends. I also bought a separate toothbrush and replacement heads for my "Go Bag"/weekend travel bag. I would recommend this toothbrush to anyone." — sdhoney

Oral-B Pro 100 battery-powered toothbrush

Another "great value" electric toothbrush option, according to reviewers is the Oral-B Pro 100, a battery-operated rendition that boasts the brand's iconic spinning action head that offers a precise 360-degree clean for each and every tooth. Users also appreciate the two minute timer, which ensures that you're brushing for exact the amount of time you should be.

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 13,665 5-star reviews

Promising Amazon review: "My dentist recommended an electric toothbrush. I tried this oral B and I feel it is a great value. I battery life has been great and long lasting. The bristles are soft but strong enough for good cleaning while providing a rotating vibration. I would highly recommend this product to see if you are comfortable with an electric toothbrush." — Thom

The Philips Sonicare 4100 Power electric toothbrush

According to Phillips Sonicare, this electric sonic toothbrush can remove up to five times more plaque than manual brushing, even in harder-to-reach places like along the gum line and in between teeth. It features two setting intensities and also indicates how long you should spend brushing each area to avoid over-brushing. A pressure sensor notifies you when you are pressing too hard, making this a great option for people with gums that are sensitive or prone to recession.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 29,958 5-star reviews.

Promising review: "Life-changing is an overused marketing buzzword, but this thing has been exactly that for me. It reversed my periodontal disease. It has saved me thousands in costly dental work. It has made my hygienist the single most bored woman on the planet, because there is simply no plaque or tartar left to clean, to the point my dentist said I only need to come in yearly as opposed to the usual every 6 months. This removes plaque and tartar that a manual toothbrush can't. I don't care how good your technique is. I don't even care if you're an actual dentist using a manual toothbrush. It cannot and does not remove as much plaque as this electric toothbrush does. Did I mention the battery life is amazing? I travel for a living. Sometimes for weeks at a time. This thing lasts me 24+ brushes on a single charge. Cannot recommend enough." — C

You can also find a pack of three replacement brush heads for $32.

AquaSonic Black Series ultra whitening toothbrush

With a motor that produces 40,000 vibrations a minute, this sleek electric toothbrush by AquaSonic can provide complete oral care from gum care to tooth whitening and polishing. This toothbrush has four cleaning modes, including a gum massage function to improve circulation, and smart notification timers to help you avoid over-brushing. This set also comes with eight replacement brush heads to last you up to two years, as well as a travel case and charging base.

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars 88,120 5-star reviews

Promising review: “I waited to post this review until I went in for my quarterly periodontal this week. What prompted me to buy this in the first place was the dental hygienist recommendation to purchase an electric toothbrush and after shopping around, this is the best deal in the market. What’s even better is my hygienist didn’t need to use a Water Pik and just used a dental instrument to clean my teeth as there was hardly any tartar buildup after using this for 3 months. She even recommended that I come in two times a year instead of four times a year, thereby saving even more money for copays. This toothbrush works great and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”— Peter T. Belmonte

Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush

The Oral-B Pro 1000 uses a round oscillating head with cross-laying bristles that rotate and pulsate to effectively clean each tooth, along the gum line and in between teeth. This brush uses a single cleaning mode and has pressure sensors to prevent you from brushing too hard. It's also compatible with most Oral-B brush heads, including the FlossAction, DeepSweep and SensitiveGum heads.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 39,283 5-star reviews.

Promising review: “This brush was rated as a top choice and 'bang for the buck' model. I ordered it as a temp electric toothbrush and it works great. This has the round, oscillating brush that you can spend time over each tooth with and it does a great job cleaning between teeth with the cross action brushes. [It] also offers a slim handle and a recharging base. I did not receive any special deals on this purchase and I am just really excited I found a toothbrush at this price that offers the benefits I need for my sweet teeth.” — cupcakemomma

Oral-B Pulsar battery-powered toothbrush with charcoal bristles

This battery-powered disposable toothbrush by Oral-B uses similar pulsing and vibrational technologies as a traditional electric toothbrush, but can be a more portable option. The bristles are infused with activated charcoal to help absorb stains and detoxify gums and the split-head design helps to moderate the amount of pressure applied to your teeth and gums.

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 713 5-star reviews.

Promising review: “I like this toothbrush overall. I had a fancy, rechargeable rotating one a while back, but I tend to push too hard with my toothbrush, thus possibly injuring my gums, [so I had to get rid of it]. I very much appreciate the results from using this brush. It does not cause any damage, but provides a much cleaner mouth! If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars!” — Amazon customer

Oral-B Pro 7000 SmartSeries electric toothbrush

The Oral-B Pro 7000 can be a great way to monitor your oral health due to the Bluetooth connectivity feature that provides real time feedback, tracks your habits over time and provides motivation through helpful oral care tips. Like other Oral-B electric toothbrushes, the round brush head oscillates, rotates and pulsates around the whole tooth, using cross-action bristles that get into hard-to-reach ares. This rechargeable brush has six modes that include daily clean and tongue clean, along with sensors that let you know when you are pushing too hard.

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars and 7,050 5-star reviews.

Promising review: "Absolutely Recommend. This toothbrush is great if your gums are sensitive. I don’t know how I lived for so long brushing the manual way; electric toothbrushes clean your teeth better. There are four or five different brush heads that fit this unit. Mine came with a cross action head, sensitive head and a polishing head. Spend the extra money on this unit because of all the different modes it has; if you go cheaper you may only get one or two speeds. It even [connects] to my phone and shows you how long you [should] spend on each section of your mouth.” — Amazon ustomer
