The Under-$40 Sonicare Toothbrush That’s Easy on the Eyes (and the Wallet)

Skipping even one day of brushing can seriously impact your oral health. Hate to break it to ya, but there’s basically a Marvel movie taking place in your mouth, and the bad bacteria start to threaten the good bacteria, by feasting on food remnants and releasing acids that cause tooth decay. While all that’s going on plaque starts building up and that can cause gingivitis. (Ew.) Can anything save the day? Perhaps, the Philips Sonicare Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush.

An electric toothbrush is the best way to get the right amount of pressure to clean teeth without wearing away enamel or causing gums to recede (because yes, brushing too hard can do both of those things). “Research shows that even with the best manual toothbrushing habits, electric toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque, whitening teeth, stimulating and improving gum health, and a person’s overall oral hygiene,” Jonathan B. Levine, DMD, founder of JBL Dentistry in New York City previously told Well+Good. Read: If you’re still using a manual toothbrush, it’s probably time to upgrade, and if you don’t want to splurge, consider this inexpensive Sonicare option.

While only a fraction of the cost of some electric toothbrushes, this one still has some snazzy features. It’s rechargeable, and comes in a handy travel case, for starters. One charge will last you 30 days. It also has a timer that not only lets you know when two minutes is up, and it paces you so you brush each quadrant of your mouth equally. Of course, it also has a sonic brushing movement and gently cleans teeth with micro-vibrations. And the bristles are soft which, as mentioned earlier, helps to ensure that you don’t scrub your teeth too hard. This affordable Sonicare toothbrush is available in three colors: champagne, black, and white.
