Our daily routine has become a lot more technologically inclined these days. You could get an automated machine to mop and sweep your floor, do your dishes and even manage the appliances in your home via voice command.
It makes sense that toothbrushes would also be amped up to make cleaning your teeth a lot simpler and more effective. Sonic and electric toothbrushes have been on the market for a long time now, but many companies are devising their toothbrushes with added functions and increased speeds.
The good thing about using them is the fact that they are also very helpful in tackling those crevices that you may not be able to reach (but should). If you don’t want teeth brushing to remain a mundane activity – consider getting one of these!

FAQ
- Electric toothbrush vs sonic toothbrush
The main difference is how many brush strokes a minute your toothbrush can reach, with the obvious leading device being the sonic toothbrush. The higher the velocity and power introduced to your teeth and gums, the more the dirt gets forced out in between the crevices.
Of course, sonic toothbrushes are a lot pricier than your standard electric ones, so if you don’t want to break the bank, an electric toothbrush is good enough!
At the end of the day, as long as you brush a minimum of twice a day in the correct form – you should have healthy teeth and gums.
The key to the perfect smile is a clean set of teeth, so get brushing!
