Electric Toothbrush Purchase Considerations
The differences in design and manufacturer make electric toothbrushes quite varied. It’s therefore necessary to know what features to look out for when shopping for one, so that you can get exactly what you need. Following are the major ones:
– Long Battery Life
Most electric toothbrushes come with rechargeable batteries, but as we all know, all rechargeable batteries are not equal. Some can hold larger amounts of electric current, and therefore last longer before needing a recharge, while others may need recharging more often. Of course, the longer the battery lasts, the better for you.
– Small Head
This is another important consideration, given the nature of electric toothbrushes. Smaller heads can more easily reach corners and other hard to reach areas inside the mouth. Also, since most of the rotating brushes are round, they should be decidedly small for better access, especially if the electric toothbrush is designed for children.
– Ease of Use
An electric toothbrush should not be complicated to use. The changing of the toothbrush head should be easy and straightforward. Switching on the brush and brushing with it should also be easy. The same goes for how well it fits in the hand, if it’s ergonomic, then great.
– Two Minute Timer
Two minutes is recommended for brushing the teeth, and since electric toothbrushes contain electronics, then why not add a timer? It’s a useful addition that can help you to be sure that you are brushing properly.
– Warranty
Any product with a manufacturer’s warranty is always better than one without. It not only guarantees the quality of the product and possible replacements, it also gives you rest of mind.
