You can find our full comparison of electric toothbrushes here.
Excellent oral health is a major part of our overall wellness; brushing your teeth twice a day maintains good oral hygiene, and prevents the accumulation of plaque, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Thoroughly brushing for two minutes per session will ensure that your teeth and gums stay nice and healthy. However, brushing too forcefully can harm your gums and erode your tooth enamel. Tooth enamel is the thin outer coating on your teeth that protects them from damage and sensitivity, so it is crucial to keep it intact. But how do you know whether or not you are applying the right amount of pressure when brushing?
The best electric toothbrushes come with a pressure sensor to help you out. A pressure sensor is an integrated feature that alerts you when you are brushing your teeth too forcefully. Individual models have their own ways of letting you know; some have a light on the handle that turns red when it detects excess pressure, and green when you are using the right amount. Others have handles that vibrate. Others, still, change their sound by slowing down their motors.
Certain high-end models have sensor lights, and they also slow down the motor to reduce the strength of the brush head. It automatically returns to its normal power when the pressure is stabilized. Furthermore, most premium models, that are compatible with smartphones, allow you to monitor the brushing process in full detail on their app. They also send you messages and tips to help you get the best results. At any rate, all alerts share the same purpose – to regulate the pressure, and ensure safe and gentle oral care.
The price for an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor varies from £24 to £295 – the average price is £167.
