Thanks!

Any electric toothbrush that has an oscillating ( turns back and forth) head. Oral-B makes good electric brushes.

Your best solution is a electric tooth brush. It doesn’t matter which kind as long as it is a rechargeable one. We recommend this to everyone of our patients. The one I like is Sonic, this is because the Oral B feels like you have a jackhammer in your mouth. The Oral B at first tickles a little, but I would take that any day over the Oral B.
