![]() ![]() Our Editor Says: "It’s a classic option for a reason - it works. Overall, the affordable price tag, simple design and minimal features make this a great electric toothbrush for those looking for gentle yet effective oral care. Our favorite thing about this toothbrush, though, is the curved power tip that makes it so easy to reach the teeth at the back of your mouth. The 14-day battery life isn’t the longest that we tested, but it will certainly stay charged through weekend trips and extended vacations - no need to pack the charging base. Plus, you can find replacement heads everywhere from Amazon to Costco with prices averaging around $9 per head in packs of two, three and even six. This model only offers one brush mode, but you can purchase different head options to target different hygiene concerns, like plaque, whitening, gum care and more. Plus, there’s a brush-replacement indicator that reminds you it’s time to switch out your brush head. Like most electric toothbrushes, it features a smart timer that buzzes in 30-second intervals and automatically shuts off after two minutes. (If you start brushing too hard, it responds with a pulsing sound.) It even claims to be safe on braces, fillings, crowns and veneers. It claims to remove seven times more plaque than a manual toothbrush and helps protect teeth and gums with a pressure sensor so you avoid harmful over-brushing. It’s a classic electric toothbrush that works - well. Especially because it sends replacement heads and toothpaste every 3 months.This Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean model doesn’t come with lots of bells and whistles, but that’s actually why it nabs our Best Overall spot. If you are looking for something that is similar to a manual toothbrush, then this is a great option. In Summary:Īs an electric toothbrush, we are not recommending it to replace a Sonicare or Oral B. Overall, Benjamin Turnwald Dentistry decided it is basically a fancy regular manual toothbrush. On the other end of the toothbrush head, there is a rubber tongue cleaner, but it doesn’t seem to do much in helping scrape the goo from the top of the tongue. Some people enjoy this and others do not. The bristles are a mix of rubber and standard bristles. In general, the electric toothbrushes on the market vibrate the bristle part as well, the Quip DOES NOT. The vibrating motion only seems to happen in the handle, and not so much in the brush head.Īs dental professionals, we love when the toothbrush head also vibrates because it better stimulates and cleans the gum tissue. They are marketing the Quip as an electric toothbrush, and it does vibrate, but at home when brushing your teeth you still need to use mechanical back and forth strokes to properly remove all the plaque and tartar. (Again, from our own personal experience) It also comes in many colors so you can accessorize the toothbrush to your bathroom wall color. It only costs $25! The subscription is an additional charge (about $10), and arrives every 3 months. It is also battery powered, which means it does not need any charging. It comes with a very slim holder that is adhesive and can hang on the wall or bathroom mirror and it isn’t very cumberson. What is also nice about the Quip is the design of how it is stored in the bathroom. The toothpaste is also fluoride based, and does not have a powerful mint flavor. Something similar to Amazon’s “subscribe and save.” We love this as a dental professional since it is hard in our busy lives to remember to change our toothbrushes out! The toothbrush heads are delivered to you every 3 months, as well as the toothpaste if you choose this option. ![]() What originally drew us to the Quip toothbrush, besides how cool it looked, was its subscription option that will automatically send you toothbrush head replacements and/or toothpaste. Many of our patients have been asking about it, so we thought we would write about it in our blog! Well, the time has come and the newest and hottest electric toothbrush has landed in the stores and it is called Quip. ![]() The most stylish toothbrush has arrived! It has been many years since a new electric toothbrush has hit the market. Published NovemLast updated October 3, 2019 ![]()
