Whether you’re packing for a quick city break or an action-packed adventure cruise, there’s one essential you can’t leave home without: a good travel toothbrush. While there’s nothing to stop you from taking your regular toothbrush with you on vacation, the best options are lightweight and compact, with a durable travel case or brush cap to keep things hygienic in transit. We’ve selected the most travel-friendly picks from our ongoing electric toothbrush tests to round up this list of the very best. Each toothbrush was rated for ease of use, functionality, overall quality, value, and portability.

We also researched the best manual travel toothbrush options, including folding and disposable picks for those who prioritize portable convenience. There’s even an all-in-one kit since dental floss , mouthwash, and toothpaste are just as important as your travel toothbrush, because as dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says, “the bacteria in your mouth work 24/7, 365 days a year even when you’re on vacation.” Read on to find our top picks for all your travel needs.

Best Overall, Electric

Oral-b genius x limited.

This toothbrush uses artificial intelligence to deliver a futuristic brushing experience enhanced by an integrated timer and pressure sensor.

The brush is slightly top-heavy and tips easily if knocked.

For tech-savvy perfectionists, it’s difficult to imagine a better toothbrush than the Oral-B Genius X Limited, an AI-enabled masterpiece that managed to seriously impress us, despite having previously only used manual toothbrushes and balking at this one’s considerable price tag. Even with its many bells and whistles, we found it intuitive to use right out of the box. The toothbrush uses Bluetooth to connect to an app on your smartphone, where you can view a diagram of your teeth that shows which areas have been correctly cleaned in real time.

We found the ability to see when we had achieved complete coverage very satisfying. The app also provides tips for effective brushing, saves your brushing history, and gives you the option to choose which modes are activated by toggling through the toothbrush’s easy-to-operate button. These range from the default (daily clean) to intense, sensitive, whitening, gum care, and tongue clean settings. Our favorite feature was the ring of LED lights that flashes red when you brush too hard (handy for those with receding gums).

We also appreciated the built-in timer, which not only alerts you when you’ve brushed for the recommended two minutes but also lets you know how long to spend on each quadrant of your mouth. The toothbrush itself is comfortable to hold, with a small, round head that reaches the furthest areas of the mouth and glides over teeth easily. We felt as though our teeth had been professionally cleaned each time. Finally, your investment is protected while traveling by a sturdy, slimline travel case.

Best Overall, Manual

Boka classic manual toothbrush.

This toothbrush features activated charcoal-infused bristles for maximum whitening and bacteria reduction.

There’s just one bristle strength available (extra soft).

The Boka Classic Manual Toothbrush is our top pick for those who like to brush manually in their everyday lives or are hesitant to travel with an expensive electric toothbrush. It’s lightweight, with a sleek, simple build that feels comfortable in the hand and a compact head that reaches easily into tight spaces. We love that the bristles are extra soft, making them gentle on sensitive gums and teeth; yet long and tapered for an effective clean around the gumline.

Given their softness, the bristles are surprisingly durable. They’re also infused with activated charcoal for maximum cleanliness and odor reduction without resorting to abrasive charcoal pastes and powders. The bioplastic handle scores sustainability points while the included protective cap keeps things hygienic when traveling. Choose yours in white, pink, mint, or blue.

The Details: Manual | Brush cap | Extra soft bristles

AquaSonic Electric Toothbrush

This toothbrush offers many of the same key features as the more expensive ones on our list, for a fraction of the price.

The brush head is a bit small.

Approved by the American Dental Association (ADA), the AquaSonic Vibe Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush is made for travel with a slim, lightweight body and a custom, hard plastic travel case with space for two extra brush heads. We love that the battery lasts for four full weeks, so unless you’re going on an extended trip, you don’t even need to pack the charger. When it does run out of battery, ultra-fast wireless charging eliminates the hassle of having cables all over your bathroom counter.

The toothbrush produces 40,000 vibrations per minute and includes four modes: clean, whiten, massage, and soft for sensitive gums. We found it easy to switch between the settings with a push of a button. Smart vibration timers indicate the 30-second and two-minute marks. We brushed immediately after eating gummy sweets and dried mango and felt that the toothbrush did an admirable job of cleaning our teeth. It comes with eight replacement heads in cute colors ranging from satin rose gold to mint green metallic.

Best Splurge

Philips sonicare prestige 9900 toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers AI-powered sensitive brushing, app connectivity, and a beautiful charging case that’s perfect for travel.

The expense is only worth it if you plan on using all of the extra features.

The Philips Sonicare Prestige 9900 is the most advanced electric toothbrush in the Philips range, coming in at almost twice the price of our already spendy overall winner. However, if you’re particularly invested in your oral care, it may well be worth the splurge. It’s easy to set up, ready to use right out of the box, and comfortable to hold (not too heavy, not too light, with a smooth, matte surface). There are five modes and three intensity settings to choose from, and we appreciated that we could switch between them while brushing. 

The toothbrush uses intelligent SenseIQ technology to sense pressure, motion, and coverage up to 100 times per second. It uses this information to adapt intensity automatically. An LED indicator warns you if you scrub too hard or apply too much pressure; while vibration alerts tell you when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. We liked being able to view a 3D map of our brushing efforts on the AI-powered Sonicare app, while the All-in-One brush head with its extra-long, angled bristles gave us that fresh-from-the-dentist smoothness after every brush. 

We particularly appreciated that the elegant, vegan leather travel case doubles as a charger for travel-ready convenience. The battery lasts approximately two weeks (enough for most trips) and has an icon to indicate how much charge remains.

Best for Sensitive Gums

Philips sonicare protectiveclean electric toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers three intensities and three brushing modes, including one especially designed for gum care.

While we liked the simplicity of not having an app or Bluetooth connectivity, some may miss these features.

The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is specially designed for sensitive teeth and gums. It’s also ideal for orthodontics and dental work including braces, crowns, and veneers. A built-in pressure sensor emits a gentle pulsing sound whenever you brush too hard, while other vibrating alerts let you know when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. You can choose between three intensities and three brushing modes: clean, white, and gum care. The latter adds an extra minute of reduced-power brushing for a gentle gum massage.

We used all of the settings each time we brushed. Toggling through them was easy, although we had to stop brushing to do so which limited the usefulness of the two-minute timer. The brush was comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver, leaving our teeth perfectly clean and smooth. This model also features intelligent BrushSync, which adjusts the intensity according to the type of brush head used and notifies you via a light on the handle when it’s time to change heads. The toothbrush comes with a compact charging base and a sturdy, hygienic travel case.

Best Folding

Gum folding travel toothbrush.

With a handle that doubles as a protective case, this toothbrush is ideal for slipping into a carry-on or backpack pocket.

The case features ventilation holes and is therefore not completely sealed.

For maximum on-the-go convenience, we love the Gum Folding Travel Toothbrush. Its tri-fold design reduces its size considerably for easy packing, while the handle doubles as a sturdy travel case to protect bristles from germs in transit. Tiny holes allow air to pass through so that the brush can continue to dry even if packed damp; similarly, a special coating prevents bacteria from accumulating.

Unlike some other folding toothbrushes, this one is just as sturdy as a regular toothbrush when unfolded, with a full-sized head. Meanwhile, the bristles are soft enough for sensitive gums with a multi-level design that enables them to clean effectively in between teeth. When you’re finished brushing, use the tongue cleaner on the reverse side of the head to complete your oral hygiene routine.

The Details: Manual | Handle doubles as a travel case | Soft bristles

Best Disposable

Freshee 5-in-1 disposable mini toothbrush.

You don’t need water to use these mini toothbrushes.

The disposable concept isn’t very environmentally friendly.

The Freshee 5-in-1 Disposable Mini Toothbrush is the ideal solution for those long travel days when access to a bathroom isn’t always convenient. That’s because it’s pre-pasted with a gel bubble filled with a liquid toothpaste designed for use without water. And, since it also minimizes foam production you won’t need to spit. Each toothbrush is individually wrapped to keep it sterile until you’re ready to use it.

The tiny packet fits in a jacket pocket, wallet, or carry-on pouch and since you throw the toothbrush away after use, you don’t have to worry about packing the damp brush away again. Despite its diminutive size, the toothbrush takes care of all your oral hygiene needs. Pull the handle apart to reveal a toothpick, then use the flossing stick on the end to clean in between each tooth. There’s even a tongue scraper on the back of the toothbrush head for optimal oral cleaning.

The Details: Manual | Individually wrapped | Soft bristles

Spark Dental Co. Dental Travel Kit

This kit provides everything you need to keep your teeth clean in a TSA-approved, travel-ready bag.

The zippered pouch could be more durable.

Don’t have time to shop around for all of the dental care items you need ahead of your next trip? The Spark Dental Co. Travel Kit includes them all in a single purchase. First up, there’s a travel toothbrush with soft bristles and a tapered head for navigating the furthest reaches of your mouth. This toothbrush folds into its own handle, halving its size when packed and protecting it from germs — although some may find the locking mechanism is a little flimsy.

Other contents include a travel-sized tube of minty Crest toothpaste and a miniature bottle of Scope mouthwash. Both have been specifically chosen to comply with TSA rules for liquids and gels on airplanes. Finally, the kit includes a box of Oral-B dental floss for a true deep clean. All of these items come in a leakproof, zippered plastic pouch that can be used over and over again. There’s even a little space for any extra items you may wish to add.

We picked the best travel toothbrushes based on a combination of real-world testing and thorough research. All of our electric toothbrush picks were tested at home, where we evaluated them for ease of use, design, functionality, features, and quality. The selections in this article are some of our favorites from various real-world tests. The manual toothbrushes were selected by meticulously researching available data, trends, and other online reviews. We also interviewed a dental hygienist to make sure we knew what features to look for when selecting toothbrushes.

Tips for Buying a Travel Toothbrush

Decide whether you want something manual or electric.

If your budget allows for it, dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says an electric toothbrush is always preferable to a manual one in terms of providing superior dental care. That’s because an electric toothbrush performs over 30,000 strokes per minute whereas a manual one can only perform around 300. Even if you’re going on a wilderness expedition with no access to electricity (or if you’re just worried about finding the correct adapter), a fully charged electric toothbrush will likely last for several weeks.

Amerson also points out that it’s possible to extend battery life by using the toothbrush manually in the morning and switching the electric motor on at night when it’s imperative to remove plaque and food before sleep. And, she says, just as a broken escalator turns into a functional set of stairs, so an uncharged electric toothbrush can be used as a manual one in a pinch. You could also look for an electric toothbrush with a travel-specific charging case. There is one caveat — disposable, pre-pasted toothbrushes are ideal for travel days when access to running water is difficult and you want to avoid packing a separate tube of toothpaste.

Choose the right bristle type for your teeth

Amerson says that you should only ever consider using a toothbrush with soft or extra-soft bristles. In fact, she says that “medium or hard bristles should be reserved for cleaning the grout between your bathroom tiles!” She also points out that the two major electric toothbrush brands in the United States (Oral-B and Sonicare) offer different brush head styles. Oral-B brushes use a round oscillating head which requires hopping from tooth to tooth using a slight rocking motion.

Meanwhile, Sonicare brushes have a more traditional head that should be held against the teeth with the last row of bristles sweeping the gumline. There’s no need to exert any pressure or implement any special kind of motion — just let the toothbrush glide around your mouth. Amerson points out that both styles work equally well, although she finds that Sonicare brushes offer an easier and more natural transition from manual toothbrushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Keeping your toothbrush clean in transit requires some kind of traveling case or brush cap to prevent the bristles from coming into contact with germs. Amerson recommends choosing a case that has air vents in it to allow the bristles to dry properly. And when it comes to storing your toothbrush at your destination, try not to keep it in the same space as the toilet but rather on a nightstand or in the sink area if the latter is separate to the toilet. Finally, if you become unwell on your travels, consider purchasing a replacement toothbrush or switching out the head to prevent lingering bacteria from prolonging the sickness.

Unless space is a major concern — in which case, a folding manual toothbrush like the one listed above is your best bet — you should be able to use your everyday toothbrush on your travels. The amount you can expect to spend depends on whether you choose a manual toothbrush (usually in the $1 to $5 range) or an electric one (anywhere from $20 for a budget brand like Quip to $300+ for a top of the range choice from Sonicare). Amerson says that if high-end electric toothbrushes are out of your budget, any toothbrush with a motor is better than one without, so spend what you can while bearing in mind that a better quality product will last longer and offer more value in terms of cost per use.

According to TSA guidelines , electric toothbrushes may be packed in both your checked and carry-on luggage. The exception is those that use lithium ion batteries, which MUST be packed in your carry-on. Airports and airlines outside the U.S. may have different rules, but the general consensus seems to be that keeping your electric toothbrush with you in the cabin is the best and most acceptable practice.

The best electric toothbrushes for travellers

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

A toothbrush is usually the last thing to go into your carry-on and one of the most important. However, tossing your brush carelessly into your weekender without protection is a recipe for germs. Sure, you could opt to buy one of those folding manual brushes for trips away, but if you’re used to the power of your regular electric model, it can be tough to switch.

Fortunately there are plenty of quality electric toothbrushes available with travel cases, so you can keep yours hygienic on the move without sacrificing power. Some even have cases that hold their own charge, so you can both forgo packing your regular charger and won’t be disappointed should the hotel’s plugs not be compatible.

There are travel brushes to suit all budgets, with impressive features including real-time technique training via an app, two-minute timers and pressure sensors, so you can keep your teeth in tip-top shape whether at home or away – and all without risk of it getting dirty in your wash bag . Here are our picks of the best electric toothbrushes for travellers we’ve found.

Suri Sustainable Electric Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush overall

Suri’s smart toothbrushes have a couple of cool features for travellers, plus a host of sustainability credentials we’ve not seen other brands top. The brush heads are made from corn starch and castor oil – no plastic here, thank you very much – and if you send them back to Suri, they’ll be properly recycled for free. As for use on the go, the case has a UV light that destroys bacteria, so you know that you’ve got a clean brush the next time you use it – handy whether you’re away or at home. The case is about a third of the size of others we’ve tried, meaning it’ll squeeze into the smallest gap in your carry-on. Everyone who’s tested this has loved this brush – its slimline case makes it a winner for hand luggage -only travellers especially.

PhilipsOne Battery Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: those on a budget

Sometimes it’s not appropriate to take your £100-plus toothbrush away. If you’re going to be hopping from hotel to hotel, are backpacking or camping, don’t run the risk of losing such a serious investment piece. However, packing a cheaper model doesn’t mean you need to forgo the power of an electric brush. The PhilipsOne does the job perfectly well at a purse-friendly £29.99, buzzing every 30 seconds to let you know when to move on to the next part of your mouth, just like the more premium models tested. It’s not rechargeable, but one AAA battery will last three months – do remember to recycle them correctly at the end of their lifespan.

Oral B iO10

Best travel toothbrush for: recharging on-the-go

I’ve had my iO for around three years now and it’s accompanied me on countless trips around the UK and abroad. It has seven different settings and buzzes every 30 seconds to let you know to move to a different quadrant of your mouth – a feature I really like. The accompanying app tracks how well you brush your teeth and provides feedback on your technique. As a frequent traveller, the best thing about this toothbrush is the chargeable case, which allows you to top up your brush via the case itself, so you don’t have to bring your charger on holiday.

Philips DiamondClean

Best travel toothbrush for: techy types

This is the most expensive toothbrush in our round-up. At over £500, it’s an investment piece. However for your money, you get one of the most advanced electric brushes on the market – with a pressure sensor, 62,000 vibrations per clean, and clever triangular tips that work to banish stains effectively. Over-brushing will be a thing of the past – the brush adjusts itself when it senses you pushing too firmly and an accompanying app provides real time feedback on your technique. The case is the most stylish one we’ve seen, with a sleek faux leather wrap, and a USB charging port that charges the brush inside. If you’re a forgetful type, you might not want to risk bringing such a pricey toothbrush away, but for a stylish, super-effective toothbrush with a travel case, there’s no better option.

Ordo Sonic Lite Electric Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: colour range

Like the Oral-B iO, Ordo’s travel toothbrush case holds its own charge. This gives you an extra eight hours while you’re on the go, on top of an already very respectable four-week battery life. It has four modes and interestingly comes with a silicone polishing element to ensure a dentist squeaky clean feel. It also comes in a selection of cool neon shades, like this luminous purple , a range unlike others on this list.

Sonisk Pulse

Best travel toothbrush for: carry-on only travel

Perfect for travellers who travel with just a personal bag, Sonsik’s electric toothbrush delivers a good clean – 31,000 vibrations a minute – at a mini size and price. It is battery-operated, but one AAA battery should last 90 days, giving you plenty of use on holiday before it needs to be replaced. It comes with two replacement heads, and we like the array of colours on offer, too.

Spotlight Sonic Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: battery life

Spotlight’s electric toothbrush has one of the most impressive battery lives we’ve seen for an electric brush, holding a charge for 70 days. The case isn’t chargeable, but will keep your toothbrush safe in your hand luggage. It has a smart pressure sensor, a timer to let you know when to move on to the next part of your mouth and – unlike the other brushes in this list – a tongue cleaner. At £66 in the sale, it’s well-priced to feel comfortable taking it away with you without fear of loss.

If you’re someone who frequently travels, packing and repacking your toothbrush might become an issue. If not packed properly, your toothbrush can come in contact with all the other things in your bag, leaving it filled with germs and all sorts of other matter that you don’t want to end up in your mouth.

Before we dive into our top choices for travel toothbrushes, let’s take a peek at what you should consider in your search for the perfect toothbrush for traveling.

Hundreds of top-tier travel toothbrushes will make maintaining your oral hygiene on the go easier than ever. Before we explore which options are our favorites, let’s look at what should be the determining factors when choosing the perfect travel toothbrush.

Size and portability should be considered first and foremost when choosing the right toothbrush. For example, if you travel with a full-size travel cosmetic bag, you can choose a full-size toothbrush . On the other hand, some travelers prefer a minimalist style of packing. If that’s the case for you, selecting a compact or smaller size may work best for your packing needs.

Manual or Electric

If you already have an electric toothbrush at home, you might feel like a manual toothbrush for traveling feels like a downgrade . This is understandable since electric toothbrushes are proven to control tooth decay better.

Hot Tip: Keep in mind that if you’re planning a long-term travel experience, it might be appropriate to pack something that doesn’t need batteries or charging.

Dual Voltage

Even if you’re planning to stay in 1 country on your journey, it’s still a good idea to find a toothbrush that can adjust to different voltages. This is important, especially if you’re traveling to a place that has a higher voltage than what you’re accustomed to.

Some of the newer toothbrushes come with a dual-voltage option that automatically adjusts according to the power outlet they’re plugged into , which makes traveling much easier. If your toothbrush doesn’t have this feature, make sure you pack a voltage converter as well.

The ever-popular folding travel toothbrush is a travel enthusiast’s favorite . When assembled, the design takes up half the space of a standard-sized toothbrush without sacrificing the comfort of use when fully expanded.

Many of the best folding toothbrushes come with a carrying case that closes tightly to keep your bristles clean and bacteria-free.

The battery is one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to electric toothbrushes. Ideally, you want a toothbrush that is rechargeable and can last a week or 2 on a single charge . Battery-operated toothbrushes are not as appealing as rechargeable ones, but they are often cheaper.

Antimicrobial Properties

Picking a toothbrush with antimicrobial properties is key, particularly if you pitch your toothbrush into the depths of your toiletry bag when you come and go.

Antimicrobial strands hinder bacterial growth between uses , keeping your mouth as healthy as possible.

Bristle Variety

There are 3 options for toothbrush bristles: soft, medium, and hard. Most people prefer a medium-bristle toothbrush . If you have a tendency to brush your teeth forcefully, you might want to choose a softer bristle to help protect your gums and enamel.

Pay attention to the bristle material when picking a new travel toothbrush. Nylon bristles are the most common, but if you have sensitive gums, doctors suggest opting for a toothbrush with softer bristles like polyester.

Hot Tip: Check out our guides to the best travel toiletry bags for men and women , as well as the best travel Dopp kits for men .

Now that we’ve discussed everything to look for in a good travel toothbrush, it’s time to start thinking about your selection. Take a look at the following toothbrushes, which we think are the best of the best for travel.

When you’re traveling, the last thing that should cause you stress is your toothbrush. Sure, it’s one of your travel essentials. However, with more pressing concerns during a trip, you don’t need the added worry of possible mold growth on the toothbrush you wrapped in a plastic bag.

Getting the right storage for your toothbrush is essential. We’ve already mentioned the possibility of mold in the damp environment of a plastic bag. Moreover, leaving a toothbrush uncovered and surrounded by the rest of your luggage risks contamination.

Your toothbrush is an indispensable tool for good dental hygiene during your trip. So in this post, we’ve reviewed 9 best travel toothbrushes to keep your teeth clean and your breath fresh while you’re on the go and away from home.

Before we introduce to you the best brands in all the categories, let’s first talk about why it is necessary to have the best travel toothbrush for your next vacation .

Don't have the time read the entire review?

Now, if you're a busy person who doesn't have time to read this entire review, then we've simplified everything.  Here is a table to provide you with a quick rating of the best travel toothbrushes.

Why do You Need the Right Travel Toothbrush?

Sometimes it’s easiest to compromise on the things you take with you when you travel. You might not want to risk ruining your best suit, so you pick a spare one out of the back of your closet, or you’d hate for your top-quality toiletries to be destroyed, so you pick up a cheap travel-size alternative to last you the week.

However, you don’t want to compromise on ensuring proper oral health, even while you’re on the move. Whether you’re on a business trip or you’re taking a long overdue vacation, you can’t take a break from properly tending to your oral health . Taking the right toothbrush along with you when you travel guarantees that you can take care of your dental hygiene while you’re away from home.

Also, planning ahead of time and doing your research (such as reading this article) ensures that you’re using the right toothbrush for your oral hygiene needs. Thinking that you can just buy a toothbrush at your destination often results in making one of the aforementioned compromises, as you are stuck getting the wrong kind of toothbrush (bristles are too hard or head is too big) or there’s no available toothbrush for sale at your destination.

Using a medium or hard-bristled toothbrush can not only wear away your enamel, but it can also damage your gums , so you don’t want to take the risk of being stuck with these harsh toothbrushes when you’re traveling.

It’s important to have the right travel toothbrush for hygiene purposes. Aside from wanting to keep your body protected from unwanted germs and bacteria in general, you want to make an especially strong effort to do this while you’re traveling so you don’t end up getting sick when you’re away from home.

Travel toothbrushes are designed to prevent the risk of bacterial contamination and mold growth, especially since you’re storing it in close proximity with the rest of your personal belongings that could be holding onto a variety of germs.

Finally, you need the right travel toothbrush for ease of transport. A full-sized, regular toothbrush is often bulky, while travel toothbrushes are designed so that they can be folded or stored in a compact way to make it fit more conveniently in your luggage.

Furthermore, if you have a compact toothbrush, you can stay fresh during the day even when you aren’t traveling+ by easily storing it in your work bag. Your toothbrush is an essential personal care item that can help you maintain fresh breath, healthy teeth, and make a solid first impression . You never know when a travel toothbrush can come in handy.

Now that you know why you need a great travel toothbrush, let’s look at some of the factors that may make one travel toothbrush more ideal for you than another.

What are the Things to Consider When Looking for the Best Travel Toothbrush?

The choice of the best travel toothbrush actually depends on the kind of trip you’re taking. Some factors to consider are the duration of your trip, your reasons for traveling, and what mode of transport you’ll be taking. With these factors in mind, here are some things to look out for when looking for the ideal toothbrush.

If you prefer a manual foldable toothbrush , make sure to choose one that completely encompasses the bristles when it’s folded and has proper ventilation to discourage mold growth. You don’t want the bristles on your toothbrush to be vulnerable to contamination by coming in contact with any other materials, even if it is your own belongings.

If you prefer a full-sized non-folding toothbrush , get a travel case with vents and possibly a UV light sanitizer to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Having a travel case can help shield your toothbrush from contaminants, but if the case itself has germs on it, it won’t be very effective.

When you're traveling, make it a habit to unpack your toothbrush and take it out of its case as soon as you’re settled. Dark and moist areas create ideal conditions for germs to grow, so allowing your toothbrush to air out as much as possible is important.

If you prefer an electric toothbrush while you travel, make sure to get one that has a long battery life–ideally over two weeks. This way, you don’t have to worry about bringing a bulky charger or finding an outlet to use to plug in your toothbrush.

Other Features to Look For

Bristles. Choose the softest bristles you can find for comfort and better cleaning ability. Harder bristles can lead to receding gums and tooth sensitivity, and the truth is, a soft toothbrush is equally as effective as a hard brush when it comes to removing plaque and getting your teeth clean.

If you’re concerned that you won’t be able to clean your teeth well with a soft toothbrush, you might need to analyze your brushing technique. Make sure that you angle your toothbrush so the bristles are moving toward your gum line, and brush with gentle, circular strokes. You only need to use a little bit of pressure to fully clean your teeth. Focus more on the amount of time you spend brushing rather than how much force you’re using.

Head. A smaller head has been proven to clean more effectively than larger-headed toothbrushes. This is because it’s easier to reach the back of your teeth and the smaller bristles can make more contact with the deeper nooks and crannies of your teeth and the space in between your teeth.

Extra cleaning features. If you have specific needs for dental hygiene because of braces or sensitive teeth or gums, choose a travel toothbrush with features that can accommodate your needs. Any orthodontic treatment is expensive, so you don’t want to risk damaging the wires of braces by using the wrong toothbrush. If you’re dealing with sensitivity, you know the importance of taking the extra steps to ensure your toothbrush is gentle and will not further recede your gum line.

Meets travel regulations. If your toothbrush comes in a kit, the size of the toothpaste tube should meet  airline regulations to ensure that you can take it in your carry-on. You certainly don’t want to go through all the trouble of researching and picking out the perfect toothbrush for your needs just to have it confiscated at the airport.

Now let’s take a thorough look at some of the options for the best travel toothbrushes that are on the market today.

6. Best Disposable Toothbrush: Colgate Max Fresh Wisp Disposable Mini Toothbrush

This is the best option for a disposable toothbrush. Its bristles gently remove germs and food particles, even if they are stuck in braces or other orthodontics. This is also a convenient brush to take on-the-go, as it is a travel toothbrush that includes toothpaste inside. The built-in sugar-free freshening bead releases minty freshness without the need to rinse. 

Because this brush is both compact and disposable, it is great to take with you on-the-go even if you’re not traveling. It is also lightweight, so it won’t add unnecessary weight to your already heavy load. You can choose your flavor between peppermint and spearmint, so you can freshen up to your liking. Finally, it includes a soft pick at the base to help you remove food particles from areas that may be hard to reach.

• Made out of recyclable materials, which helps reduce the waste of a disposable product
• No water or rinsing is necessary to use these, so you can discreetly use them anywhere you go
• This option is less expensive than some others
• The bristles are rather short
• These are not to be used in place of a regular toothbrush, so if you’re traveling, you would still need to bring a toothbrush to use for your recommended twice a day cleaning

7. Best Electric Toothbrush for Sensitive: Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Rechargeable Toothbrush

This is the best electric travel toothbrush for sensitive gums, as it offers unique sonic technology to loosen up and remove plaque, offering you an effective, yet gentle, cleaning experience. The toothbrush has a built-in pressure sensor to alert you if you're putting too much pressure on your teeth, so you can protect your teeth and gums from excess wear.

It also comes with BrushSync technology in the head of the toothbrush to automatically apply the optimal intensity of brushing for your teeth. So if you have sensitive gums, you can select the “gum care” brush head and the toothbrush will automatically choose the best mode for your gums.

BrushSync also keeps track of how you long you've been using a brush head and how much pressure you apply when you brush. This lets the brush know when to alert you to replace the head so you can always know that your toothbrush is in optimal condition.

The convenient travel toothbrush holder is great for easy transport and hygienic storage, and the compact travel charger keeps your toothbrush charged while you’re traveling. However, you will be able to go two weeks using a single full charge, but if you need to go on a longer trip, the charger will not take up a lot of space in your luggage.

• The best option for sensitive gums
• Offers three modes of cleaning
• Moves at up to 31,000 brush strokes per minute
• Vibration is a bit too strong for some users
• Sometimes makes a high-pitched noise

8. Best Travel Toothbrush for Kids: ​Oral-B Kids Electric Toothbrush With Coaching Pressure Sensor and Timer​

This is the best travel toothbrush for kids, who also need to maintain proper oral hygiene while traveling. It features a visible, light-up pressure sensor and a 2-minute timer, which helps kids give their teeth a gentle, yet effective, brushing. The sensor will alert kids if they apply too much pressure to help prevent them from scrubbing their teeth too hard and potentially damaging them.

This toothbrush is able to remove more plaque than a typical manual option, and the gentle mode is great for children’s gums and teeth. The handle is versatile in that it can be used with the accompanying brush heads as well as any other Oral-B brush head replacement refill.

• The best toothbrush for kids
• Helps teach children proper brushing techniques
• Adults even love this toothbrush for how clean it is able to get your teeth
• The battery does not last long
• Loud when in use

9. Best Battery Operated Travel Toothbrush: Violife Slim Sonic Toothbrush

This is the best battery-operated travel toothbrush. It features a compact design so you can put it in your carry-on bag for ease of access. The unique component of this option is that it adds fashion to the functionality of a travel toothbrush. The toothbrush is held in a case that has a small, vented, snap-on mascara-style cap. You can keep it in your bag without any onlookers realizing it is a toothbrush.

With the simple press of a button, you will have 22,000 brush strokes per minute to give you a clean and healthy smile. It comes in a variety of colors to best suit your style and includes two brush heads that will each last you about three months with regular use.

• Best battery-operated travel toothbrush
• Features a fashion-forward design
• Comes in a variety of colors
• Brush heads have medium bristles
• This product is catered toward females, so males may not consider this to be an option

Best Travel Toothbrush For Your Next Trip

Keeping your teeth clean is essential no matter what you expect from your travel toothbrush. Whether you like folding or electric, this list has you covered.

Whether heading to Toronto or Turin, you’ll want to bring a toothbrush along for the ride. There are many options, from tiny models that fit in your pocket to behemoth Bluetooth-enabled models that will help you brush better. From end to end, this list will cover the whole spectrum.

Before diving in, you should ask yourself what you want from a travel toothbrush. Do you want the exact coverage you get at home or something that fills the gaps until you return? Or, are you after a toothbrush that can be used at home and abroad? Many sizes, features, and combos will work for all of these situations, but it’s best to know which you fall into before diving into the list.

Now that you know what you’re looking for, let’s dive in, dental hygiene style!

• GUM Travel Toothbrush
• Philips One Battery Toothbrush by Sonicare
• Aurelle TOOB Brush
• quip Electric Toothbrush
• Alpine Provisions Plastic-Free Bamboo Toothbrush
• Lingito Travel Toothbrush
• SURI Sustainable Sonic Toothbrush
• Crest Scope Minibrush
• RADIUS Tour Travel Brush
• Oral-B Clic Manual Toothbrush
• Colgate hum Smart Electric Toothbrush

Why We Like It: Super small when folded.

What You Should Know: It feels cheap.

If you’re looking for the best travel toothbrush to save space and cash, look no further than the GUM Travel Toothbrush. You can pick up two brushes for less than $15, so you’ll have another ready if one gets lost. If you buy online, you might not be able to choose the color. However, for the price, it’s hard to beat!

The brush folds into itself, roughly half the size of a regular toothbrush. When folded, the brush is contained, so it won’t get the rest of your toiletry pouch wet. Apart from the hinge apparatus, this brush operates like the model you have at home because the container section acts as an extender. It feels a little cheap; however, it works as you’d expect it to. It even has a tongue scraper opposite the brush. What else could you want?

Why We Like It: One of the best electric brushes out there.

What You Should Know: Somewhat large for smaller pouches.

Sometimes the best travel electric toothbrush is the model you use at home. In that case, you can’t go wrong with the Philips One Battery Toothbrush by Sonicare. It doesn’t have all the features of a more expensive model; however, as far as travel toothbrushes go, it’s better than most.

The brush is powered by a single AAA battery, readily available globally. However, with 90 minutes of battery life, you’ll be set for most trips. While brushing, it has a two-minute timer with a pause every 30 seconds so you know when to transition between tooth areas.

At the time of writing, there are a handful of colorways to choose from, so you can snag one that matches your toiletry kit! For the price, this might be the best travel electric toothbrush for you.

Why We Like It: Container combines brush and paste.

What You Should Know: Length will be too much for some dopp kits.

The Aurelle TOOB Brush combines sustainability and packability into a toothbrush capable of handling any trip. One side of the container holds the brush, and the other has a reusable toothpaste tube. The brush is roughly the same length as your toothbrush at home, making it easier to use. The refillable tube makes loading your toothpaste from home easy, so you don’t have to waste money or materials with a tiny consumable.

Although this isn’t a folding toothbrush, it still feels relatively cheap while holding it. However, it’s easy to use and contains everything you need (except floss) to maintain your dental hygiene while crossing the globe. Plus, the container design ensures that no toothpaste or water from the brush escapes into your toiletry pouch. Sustainable, packable, and waterproof—what’s not to dig?

Why We Like It: The smallest and lightest electric toothbrush we’ve seen to date.

What You Should Know: Doesn’t vibrate as much as other models.

If you’ve browsed the internet for the best travel toothbrush, you’ve probably stumbled upon the quip Electric Toothbrush. It’s one of the most petite and lightweight electric models we’ve come across, making it a shoo-in for one-baggers and ultralight travelers alike. However, every pro list is inevitably followed by a few cons.

If you’re used to a standard electric toothbrush at home, you may find that the quip doesn’t clean as well because it isn’t as powerful and vibrates as compared to most electric toothbrushes, which rotate bristles. Don’t get it twisted—this thing cleans your teeth; it’ll just take a bit longer to get the same clean feeling you can achieve in a shorter period. However, the size and weight are the big selling point when using it for travel.

There are multiple colorways, and the back end doubles as a case. We dig the black-on-black model because it’s sleek and doesn’t show signs of aging as quickly as a white toothbrush. If you want to save weight and space, this might be the travel electric toothbrush for you.

Why We Like It: Sustainably sourced.

What You Should Know: Somewhat large for a manual brush.

The Alpine Provisions Plastic-Free Bamboo Toothbrush debuted on our Sustainable Packing List V2 for a reason—it’s an environmentally-friendly option that functions well no matter where you’re brushing your teeth.

The bristles are crafted from castor oil beans, the brush’s body is bamboo, and the entire toothbrush is plastic-free. However, the sustainability angle doesn’t mean it can’t play with the big buys when cleaning your teeth. It’s not the tiniest toothbrush out there; however, it feels more sturdy than most travel toothbrush options on the smaller end of the spectrum.

Plus, Alpine Provisions donates a percentage of their sales to the Colorado Outward Bound School Scholarship Fund, which we think is rad.

Why We Like It: One of the cheapest options out there.

What You Should Know: Breaks fairly easily on rugged adventures. While doom-scrolling the depths of Amazon, you may have encountered the Lingito Travel Toothbrush. It’s a popular folding model that takes up little space but feels like a standard offering you might have in the cabinet at home. Coming in at a hair over $5 for two, it’s hard to go wrong for your next trip.

This portable toothbrush feels more durable than other folding models we’ve tested, but it feels fairly cheap overall. However, it is cheap, so we can’t knock it for that. When collapsed, it’s four and a half inches (11.43 cm) and extends to nearly eight inches (19.69 cm), saving space but feeling like a regular toothbrush in use.

There aren’t color options at the time of writing, which is a bummer. For $3 a pop, it’s hard to go wrong with this travel size toothbrush.

Why We Like It: Sustainably sourced and durable.

What You Should Know: It’s heavy and large.

There’s a lot to love about the SURI Sustainable Electric Toothbrush. Before we dive into the good, let’s tackle the not-perfect aspects of this travel toothbrush. One of the primary materials is aluminum, which isn’t as light as most plastic models. It’s pretty large, too, which won’t work for every toiletry kit, primarily if you use a toothbrush travel case.

However, this is one of the most sustainable options on the market, which is worth commending. The brush uses recycled plant-based materials, the aluminum body is more durable than plastic, so it’ll last longer, and the entire device is meant to be repairable, so you can fix it rather than throw it away. Plus, you can ship the heads back to SURI for recycling for free.

Oh, and did we mention that it’s an electric toothbrush? For those looking for a sustainable travel toothbrush, look no further!

Why We Like It: Fits in tight places and comes with toothpaste.

What You Should Know: Not sustainable.

If you already have a travel toothbrush, you might still want something portable to bring to a meal or on long journeys as a just-in-case stinky breath extinguisher. The Crest Scope Mini Brushes are perfect for that and come in a handy two-pack to leave in your sling , purse, or daypack .

The brushes are super small, which can be cumbersome, but the bristles feel like a standard brush and have toothpaste on them. The back end has a pick to get stringy foods or popcorn kernels out of your teeth, which is handy. These aren’t the most sustainable option on this list; however, this mini travel toothbrush is ideal for those who suffer from bad breath or love foods that are a little stinky.

Why We Like It: Budget-friendly and small.

What You Should Know: Can be awkward to use.

Regarding budget travel models that include a travel toothbrush holder, the Radius Tour Travel Brush has you covered. Its folding design is easy to use and ensures that your toothbrush stays clean and everything around it stays toothpaste free.

At the time of writing, you get one brush for less the $5—what a deal! When it’s time to clean your teeth, it expands from its case to be roughly the size of a standard model. However, when you’re down, it stows away approximately the length of an eyeliner tube. It feels a little cheap, but the bristles work well. It works well for adults, but it might be the best travel toothbrush for kids because of the price and size.

Why We Like It: Standard brush with replaceable head.

What You Should Know: A bit large for what it offers.

If you don’t think electric toothbrushes live up to the buzz, the Oral-B Clic Toothbrush is the manual option you’ve been looking for. Upon first inspection, it looks like an electric model—even the tips are replaceable. However, it’s smaller and doesn’t have electronics. The replaceable heads are better for the environment than standard brushes because when it’s time to replace the bristles, it’s much less plastic.

The box comes with a magnetic brush holder, which comes in handy more at home, but might strike your fancy for a longer trip where you’ll stay in one place for an extended period. Although the Clic is roughly double the price of a standard travel toothbrush, it feels more premium and durable.

It isn’t the smallest option, but it’s cheaper than the electric options and does the job manually, no matter where you end up.

Why We Like It: Has a Bluetooth app to track your brushing.

What You Should Know: It only lasts roughly ten days.

If you’re all in on dental hygiene, the Hum by Colgate Smart Electric Toothbrush Kit is the best travel toothbrush for you. Although it’s one of the priciest items on this list, it’s also one of the most comprehensive. The kit includes a toothbrush, two heads, a charger, and a carrying case.

The battery will last around ten days, which isn’t ideal for longer trips unless you bring the charger. The toothbrush travel case is handy and makes carrying the system on the go easier. The toothbrush connects to an app that tracks brushing and informs you on how you can brush better, no matter where you’re spitting in the sink.

This is the perfect brush you can use at home and on the road without worrying about compromising your dental health.

So there you have it; some of the smallest, most powerful, and packable travel toothbrushes on the market! Whether you’re going camping, on a weekend trip, or across the globe for a few months, hopefully, you’ve found your pick!

10 best travel toothbrushes for excellent hygine on your next trip

A travel toothbrush is a travel gear essential for maintaining your oral hygiene on the go. It’s designed to be compact, easy to pack and just as effective as your regular toothbrush. With a travel toothbrush in your luggage , you can keep your teeth clean no matter where you are.

Thankfully, dozens of top-tier travel toothbrushes and toothbrush travel cases make maintaining dental care easier than ever. Before we dive into which are our favorites, let’s look at what you should look for in the ideal toothbrush for traveling.

What to look for in a travel toothbrush

Portability and size should play a major role in deciding what toothbrush is right for you. If you tend to throw a full-size travel cosmetic bag into your checked luggage , you can opt for a full-size toothbrush. But, if you pride yourself on just bringing a carry-on backpack with you when you travel, it might be better to go petite.

Foldable design

Speaking of petite, the ever-popular folding travel toothbrush is a fan favorite for a reason. The hinged design takes up half the space of a regular-size toothbrush without sacrificing ease of use when fully extended.

Manual vs. electric

If you already have an electric toothbrush at home , you might feel like a manual toothbrush just for travel feels like a downgrade. While electric toothbrushes are scientifically proven to better prevent tooth decay, if you’re planning a long-haul adventure, it might be more reliable to go with something that doesn’t require batteries or regular charging.

Dual voltage

That said, if you opt for an electric toothbrush, it might be worth looking into one that offers dual voltage. With this functionality, you won’t need to tie down a travel adapter or risk burning out your toothbrush when charging it abroad.

Antimicrobial

Shopping for a toothbrush with antimicrobial properties is key, especially if you tend to throw your toothbrush into the depths of your bag when commuting. Antimicrobial bristles hinder bacterial growth between uses, ensuring your mouth stays as healthy as possible.

Britsle type

Toothbrush bristles are available in soft, medium and hard varieties. Most people prefer a medium bristle variety, but if you tend to brush hard you might want to opt for a softer bristle to help protect your gums and enamel. Pay attention to the bristle type when picking out a new travel toothbrush.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite dentist-approved travel toothbrushes on the market right now that’ll make maintaining your oral hygiene on the go easy and stress-free.

FAQs about travel toothbrushes

What is the most sanitary way to travel with a toothbrush.

The most sanitary way to travel with a toothbrush involves several steps. Using a ventilated toothbrush holder that covers the brush head but allows air circulation to prevent bacterial growth is sometimes recommended by experts . Also, ensure your toothbrush is dry before packing it to reduce the risk of bacteria thriving in a moist environment.

You should try to protect your toothbrush bristles from contact with other items in your luggage by using a travel case or cover. While traveling, clean both the toothbrush and holder regularly by rinsing them thoroughly under hot water or soaking them briefly in antibacterial mouthwash.

When you reach your destination, allow the toothbrush to air dry completely outside of its holder. Some travelers prefer using a low-cost travel-specific toothbrush that they replace after each trip, which might be more hygienic.

Can I keep my toothbrush in a ziplock bag?

Ziplock bags trap moisture and prevent proper air circulation. That makes for an environment conducive to bacterial growth and could potentially lead to mold or mildew growth on your toothbrush.

Instead, we recommend using a ventilated toothbrush holder that covers the brush head while allowing for air circulation. If you don’t have a proper case, wrapping your dry toothbrush in a clean paper towel can be a temporary solution.

These inexpensive toothbrush covers keep your toothbrush clean when you travel. They're ventilated, which should help prevent bacterial growth if your toothbrush is wet when you store it in your toiletry bag .

Further, keeping your toothbrush in a separate compartment of your toiletry bag can also help avoid contact with other items. The key is to keep your toothbrush as dry as possible between uses to minimize bacterial growth. If you must use a ziplock bag, ensure your toothbrush is completely dry before storing it, and leave the bag slightly open to allow for some air circulation.

Can you put an electric toothbrush in your suitcase?

Yes, you can pack an electric toothbrush in your suitcase, but keep a few important considerations in mind.

Battery-powered electric toothbrushes are generally safe for both checked and carry-on luggage. However, if your toothbrush has a lithium-ion battery, airline regulations require you to pack it in your carry-on . Most electric toothbrushes come with travel cases to protect them during transport and prevent moisture buildup.

Don’t forget the charger for longer trips, and check if you need a voltage converter for international travel. While electric toothbrushes are convenient, some prefer manual toothbrushes to avoid battery or charging issues.

5 Best Electric Toothbrushes of 2024

Based on dentists' recommendations and our own extensive testing, these are your best bets.

We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

If you’ve ever been nervous about going to the dentist (no one likes another cavity!), it might be time to switch up your brushing routine by investing in an electric toothbrush. Unlike manual toothbrushes, electric ones typically use a sonic or oscillating motion to help you get a deeper clean and improve dental hygiene. Best of all, they strive to make brushing your teeth less of a nuisance by offering extra features like a built-in two-minute timer so you know when it’s time to stop brushing as well as a pressure sensor that informs you if you’re pressing down too hard.

Our top picks:

Best Overall Electric Toothbrush

Oral-b pro1000 rechargeable electric toothbrush.

Best Value Electric Toothbrush

Philips sonicare 4100.

Best Premium Electric Toothbrush

Philips sonicare 9900 prestige.

With so many dental products out there, from water flossers to teeth whiteners , it can be tricky to know where to start when shopping for a new toothbrush. Do you prefer Oral-B or Sonicare, or are you looking for an electric toothbrush that’s great for travel? What about an electric toothbrush for the kids ? App connectivity, the number of cleaning modes and battery life are just some of the many features to consider.

That's why we combined our testing notes and input from professional dentists including Sharon L. Huang , D.D.S., owner of Les Belles Dentistry in New York City, and Jamie Reynolds, M.D. , an orthodontist based in Michigan, to help you find the best electric toothbrush. After our reviews, read on to learn more about the benefits of electric toothbrushes, and tips on the key features to consider when shopping. Pair your new toothbrush with one of the best whitening toothpastes and check out or guide to the best baby toothbrushes if you have little ones at home.

Trade in your standard toothbrush for the best affordable electric toothbrush out there. With over 133,000 five-star ratings , it's no surprise this Oral-B is one of the best-rated electric toothbrushes on Amazon and outperformed in our Lab tests. In fact, this brush received some of the highest overall scores, standing out for exceptional performance, ease of use and consumer satisfaction .

With all the coveted benefits of an electric toothbrush — like a rotating head to remove plaque, a pressure sensor to prevent you from brushing too hard and a two-minute timer — it rings in at a fraction of the cost of many others. Though it only offers one clean mode, the toothbrush’s controls are simple to navigate without being overwhelming or confusing, and it does an effective job of cleaning teeth. Consumer testers appreciated its lightweight, easy-to-use design, but our pros point out that it's noisier than other models we tested, and there was some residue on the charging base after extended use.

“The Oral B brush has the perfect little angled brush that gets in between my teeth and gets all the plaque and food out that is hard to get with a traditional toothbrush,” says one tester. Just keep in mind that while this toothbrush has excellent value, it doesn’t feature some of the extra features you’ll find on more expensive Oral-B models like being able to adjust the brush head’s speed or sensitivity. “I think this is a very effective basic electric toothbrush that'll clean your teeth perfectly without any fancy bells and whistles,” one GH Institute product analyst points out.

Curious about Sonicare’s powerful sonic technology that helps remove plaque from teeth but not ready to invest too much in your next toothbrush? We love that the Sonicare 4100 offers all of Sonicare’s favorite features at an excellent price , including a two-minute timer, pressure sensor and two intensity settings to choose from, which is especially helpful for those with sensitive gums or teeth. Though this model doesn’t include a travel case, we like its slim, lightweight design and compact charger that can be plugged into USB-A anywhere you go.

Performance scores were slightly lower than those of more premium Philips Sonicare toothbrushes in our Lab tests, but this model stood out for its ease of use, durability and quietness. Several of our consumer testers felt like their teeth were effectively cleaned after using the toothbrush. “I felt like I got a very good clean each time with minimal effort,” says one tester. Another tester liked the brush head’s shape: “It has a compact head so it seems to fit farther back and reach all around the back teeth better than a manual toothbrush.”

Ever wondered what toothbrush your dentist uses at home? Look no further. The Prestige 9900 might be the most expensive electric toothbrush on this list, but it earned the highest overall score in our Lab tests as well as the best consumer satisfaction score .

Pair it with the Sonicare app to guide you during brushing and alert you to any missed spots. For those with sensitive or receding gums, fret not: It automatically adjusts the intensity for you and gently vibrates whenever you accidentally brush too hard.

Several testers felt that their gums were healthier after using this toothbrush and that they noticeably had less plaque. “I love this toothbrush,” says one tester. “The 9900 is very quiet. The vibrations tickle a little and take a few days to get used to, but they make the toothbrush very effective at cleaning my teeth. My teeth feel like they've been professionally cleaned! The app is very easy to use and makes brushing fun. It also inspires me to brush more regularly. The toothbrush is beautifully designed and takes up very little space in my bathroom.”

Testers also appreciate that you can customize your daily brushing routine with five different modes and that a compact travel case comes included. You can even leave your toothbrush’s charger back at home and charge it inside its travel case via USB.

Quip Adult Electric Toothbrush

It's easy to forget that you should replace your toothbrush (or brush head) every three to four months . Yes, really! That's why we love Quip. Not only is the battery-operated brush super-slim and chic, but the brand also offers a refill plan as well as toothbrushes for kids so the whole family can stay on track. For just $7 per order, it's one of the best value electric toothbrush picks as you can get a new brush head and battery delivered every three months.

We especially like this pick for travel since it includes a super slim cover that will fit into your purse or backpack without taking up much space . Unlike other electric toothbrushes, Quip uses AAA batteries so you don’t have to fret with chargers or cables while you’re on the road — though there is a new rechargeable version that will last you three months if preferred.

In Lab tests, the Quip toothbrush got top overall scores and consumers were fond of its soft bristles and gentle sonic vibrations. “It actually makes me brush for the full two minutes. My teeth feel so much cleaner in the two weeks that I have been using this toothbrush!” says one tester. Other testers liked the size of the toothbrush, which makes it easy to hold, use and store when you’re done. Some testers do point out, however, that you still have to brush with the Quip, unlike other electric toothbrushes that do most of the work for you. Also, the instructions in the manual on how to brush as well as replace brush heads and batteries could be more clear.

Oral-B iO Series 9

The iO Series 9 is one of Oral-B’s ​most advanced electric toothbrushes, and though it costs more than others on this list, it’s loaded with smart features designed to help you get the deepest clean . For instance, there’s a real-time “coaching” feature ​that leverages AI to help guide you while you brush so you never miss a spot. The brush also includes seven smart modes — including one for cleaning your tongue — as well as a built-in timer, Smart Pressure Sensor​ (it signals red when you're brushing too hard), charging travel case and three replacement brush heads.

In Lab tests, the Oral-B iO received high scores all around and consumer testers shared that there’s not much to dislike, describing the brush as “bomb,” “a game-changer,” a “joy to use” and “incredibly cool.” Several testers even said their experience was akin to having their teeth professionally cleaned: “What’s not to love? I’m addicted to brushing my teeth and using this toothbrush! I feel like I just left my hygienist chair with a professional cleaning,” says one tester.

Other testers were fond of the accompanying app and the brush’s multiple cleaning modes. “I like the functions. You can see that you are using the proper pressure with the sensor light, and the app shows how thoroughly you brush and gives feedback for any improvements you should make” says one tester. Others like the interactive color display, which shows a smiley face every time you’ve brushed for two minutes.

How we test the best electric toothbrushes

Our electric toothbrush reviews are based on extensive in-Lab tests at the Good Housekeeping Institute . In our latest evaluations, we tested 11 electric toothbrushes for their performance, ease of use and durability.

We also sent samples to over 100 consumer panelists who reported good dental hygiene habits (brushing twice a day and having a professional cleaning every six months) to provide qualitative feedback on each toothbrush. After two weeks of use, they were asked to evaluate their overall satisfaction with the electric toothbrush. Here’s more information on how we tested:

✔️ Performance: Product analysts evaluate the toothbrush’s overall functionality, its modes and how effectively it cleans teeth. We then measure battery life, charging time, the accuracy of the two-minute timer and the usefulness of any built-in sensors. To evaluate and compare noise levels in each toothbrush, each toothbrush is sent to Quiet Mark , our partner lab and independent global certification program that identifies how quiet or loud products are through scientific testing and assessment.

✔️ Durability: Each toothbrush is put through a drop test and a water-resistance test in our Lab to score its durability. For the drop test, each toothbrush is dropped from a 30-inch height, or the average height of a countertop, and then checked for any dents, scratches or damage. The water-resistance test is then performed in the Lab’s rain tester, exposing the toothbrush to various water pressures for two minutes.

✔️ Ease-of-use: Once the toothbrush has been measured and weighed, we provide feedback alongside consumers on the following questions: How easy is it to set up? How easy is the toothbrush head to put on? Are the controls conveniently located and easy to use? Is the toothbrush easy to charge? Is the app intuitive? Is the design ergonomic and easy to hold? Is it heavy or lightweight? Did the toothbrush create a mess while in use? Does its size take up too much space?

What to look for when shopping for an electric toothbrush

✔️ Power source: In our Lab tests, people greatly preferred rechargeable options to battery-operated ones. Our feedback showed the battery-operated brushes were ideal for travel, but they didn’t work as well as electric toothbrushes with rechargeable bases.

✔️ Timer: Many electric toothbrushes offer a timed brushing setting of two minutes, broken up into 30-second intervals, so you're thoroughly paying attention to your teeth — front to back and top to bottom.

✔️ Pressure sensor: Avoid sensitive gums by finding an electric toothbrush that gently vibrates when you press down too hard.

✔️ Connectivity: Certain electric toothbrushes feature Bluetooth technology so you can sync to an app to keep track of your brushing habits and access extra features like coaching and tips. Some of the more premium toothbrushes even leverage AI technology to give you feedback in real-time as you brush to understand which areas need improvement.

Electric vs. manual toothbrushes

“Not all electric toothbrushes are created equal,” says Sharon L. Huang , DDS, owner of Les Belles Dentistry in NYC. She estimates that two minutes with an electric toothbrush is equivalent to seven minutes of manual brushing.

Why? Because electric toothbrushes are more efficient at cleaning and more effective at reaching a lot of surfaces, especially hard-to-reach areas like molars in the back of your mouth. “When you use a manual brush, it depends on how you’re brushing [and the motion] versus an electric toothbrush does the work for you,” she says.

Simply put: “We will never move as fast as a sonic brush,” which she favors for its power and ability to dislodge bacteria.

Do dentists recommend electric toothbrushes?

"Pretty much everyone can benefit from an electric toothbrush,” says Jamie Reynolds, M.D. , an orthodontist based in Michigan. After he switched to an electric toothbrush, his own dental hygienist commented on how clean his teeth looked. “Personally, I won't be switching back to the old-fashioned way and don't recommend you do either!”

But remember, no matter which powered toothbrush you buy, the most important thing is your habits, says Dr. Reynolds. “An electric toothbrush isn't a magic wand. It still requires morning and night use — with around two minutes of brushing time — to be effective.” Use it as a way to up your brushing technique, not make up for it.

7 Best Travel Toothbrush Choices For Your Trips In 2021

Travel has its delights but also many disruptions that can interfere with keeping your teeth clean.

As a result, a busy day filled with sightseeing or business meetings can leave your mouth feeling not so fresh .

Being away from home, however, is not a barrier to maintaining oral health. You don't want to let plaque build or have your breath turn into a social distancing superpower.

The portable toothbrush prevents these problems. You have many choices for a travel-size toothbrush.

There is an ideal product for you regardless of issues like sensitive gums, no access to a washroom, or limited packing space.

Why You Need a Good Travel Toothbrush

Electric or manual toothbrush, disposable or reusable.

• 1. Travel Folding Toothbrush, Camping Toothbrush Bulk, Medium Bristle (6 Pack)
• 2. Crest Scope – Mini Disposable Toothbrushes with Toothpaste and Pick – 6 Pack
• 3. Dr. Fresh Travel Kit 3-In-1 Toothpaste/Scope/Toothbrush

Best Overall

You should not skip brushing your teeth and gums. Food particles promote bacterial growth that infiltrates gum tissue.

Ultimately, you risk infection and tooth loss .

Medical studies even link bad oral health to heart disease. Such consequences highlight the importance of daily oral hygiene and why you should continue proper brushing when away from home.

Aside from health and hygiene considerations, you'll feel more confident knowing that your breathe is fresh. No one enjoys that pasty feeling in the mouth after a long flight, and a travel size toothbrush will rescue you from that discomfort.

Like many things when you travel, you need something a little different than what works best for you at home.

For example, users of electric Sonic toothbrushes may not have room to pack their regular appliance along with its charging base and cord. For outdoor trips, a place to plug it in may not even be available.

However, a small, battery-operated electric travel toothbrush presents an elegant solution without compromising on oral care.

Prepared people like to keep travel toothbrushes on hand in their bags, vehicles, or workplaces.

Their small size and packaging make them easy to pack and clean when needed for brushing.

If they get stuck late at work or decide spontaneously to stay over at a friend's house, there are no worries about a grungy mouth.

How to Choose the Best Travel Toothbrush

What you need from a travel toothbrush and the environment where you expect to use it are the two primary factors that should guide your choice.

Your oral hygiene needs may fall into one or more of these categories:

• Occasional brushing if unexpectedly stuck away from home
• Regular brushing at work after a lunch break
• Twice daily brushing while on a trip
• Frequent brushing because of wearing braces or aligners

Environmentally driven questions to ask yourself are:

• Do I expect to have access to a sink?
• Will there be electricity available?
• How much space do I have for packing toiletries?

On some trips, you may not have a sink handy for brushing your teeth. In that case, you might prefer one of the disposable pre-pasted toothbrushes that are designed to be used without water.

Campers and hikers may not have reliable access to electricity, which could make an electric toothbrush problematic. If you like to travel light, then you'll be looking for a space-saving style, like a folding toothbrush.

People who already enjoy the deep cleaning of electric toothbrushes at home may want that same feeling when traveling.

A smaller version that runs on batteries will take less space in your travel bag. On the other hand, a manual toothbrush is appealing in its simplicity. It will work anywhere.

Among manual toothbrushes, you'll find pre-packaged disposable products or toothbrushes meant for ongoing use.

Disposable toothbrushes have the advantage if you plan to keep them in your purse or travel bag. The wrapper ensures a clean experience when you do need to brush.

However, if you'd prefer not to produce excess plastic waste, then a reusable product offers more efficient use of resources.

7 Of The Best Travel Toothbrushes

The marketplace has a range of options for travelers in 2021.

Mini toothbrushes come 2 to a package for a total of 12 toothbrushes in this 6 pack. Each mini toothbrush includes a dental pick for cleaning between teeth, which is essential for oral health.

You also get a ridged tongue cleaner so that you can get rid of that stale taste in your mouth.

The brush runs on two modes. Clean mode achieves a thorough cleaning, and the sensitive mode works the brush head at a gentler and slower rate.

In clean mode, the brush delivers 18,000 vibrations per minute and has an amplitude depth of 5mm to reach between your teeth. Package includes two replacement heads.

You can start brushing even without water, although you can use water if it's available.

In addition to the pre-pasted brush with nylon bristles, the tool includes a flosser and dental pick. Flossing is just as important as brushing to oral health.

For stubborn bits of food or to scrape at plaque, pull the handle open to reveal a toothpick.

The wrapped product ensures that you get a clean brush even if the package has been in a purse, suitcase, or desk drawer. With 24 individually wrapped disposable tools in this package, it's easy to stock up and always have something to clean your teeth with.

Each toothbrush also comes with four different head styles. The appliance has five brushing modes. With so many options, you can create a customized brushing experience that is perfect for your needs.

The Fairywill operates at 40,000 vibrations per minute, which is more powerful than other choices. One of its most helpful features is the two-minute timer.

Just keep brushing until the cycle finishes, and you'll know that you cleaned your teeth for the optimal amount of time. It is also specifically engineered to be waterproof.

Unlike battery operated options, you'll have to deal with a cord when traveling with this one. The USB cord plugs into any USB outlet. You could charge it while working on your laptop and then freshen your mouth before delivering a presentation. A single charge reportedly lasts 30 days.

• 5 brushing modes
• Protective case

Based on these reviews, the Travel Electric Toothbrush by Gevilan emerges as the best overall choice. You'll get a thorough cleaning from a small, lipstick tube style device that runs on a battery for $15.99.

The Dr. Fresh 3-In-1 Travel Kit has everything necessary for a fresh smile for only $6.98. With a reusable brush plus tube of toothpastpe and bottle of mouth wash, the kit provides a good value in multiple situations.

Keep Brushing!

Travel brings new experiences, but you still need to stay on top of mundane self-care tasks every day. Neglecting your oral hygiene only produces negative health effects. At a minimum, your breath will deteriorate.

No one regrets having a portable toothbrush when they need one. Any of these travel size toothbrushes provide an elegant solution when you want something that takes up little space but still delivers excellent utility.

Can You Use a Travel Adapter for an Electric Toothbrush?

Many digital nomads wonder if they can use their electric toothbrush with a travel adapter if they have to plug it in to charge it. The answer depends on the type of toothbrush you have and its voltage.

For example, the voltage in the United States is much lower than in European countries. Therefore, items like hairdryers blow out due to the voltage difference.

One solution is to purchase a travel adapter and voltage converter . This allows you to use your own items in different countries with different voltages and outlets – saving you a ton of money if you’re traveling full-time!

So the answer is yes, you can use a travel adapter for your electric toothbrush, but only if it is also a voltage converter as well . Otherwise, you can have a very dangerous problem.

The 10 Very Best Electric Toothbrushes

Including rotating, oscillating, and sonic toothbrushes..

In this article

• Best overall
• Best app-enabled
• Best Sonicare
• Longest battery life
• Best with water flosser
• Best for kids

As the Strategist’s personal-hygiene writer, I find brushing my teeth is much more enjoyable with an electric toothbrush . Plus, it’s nice knowing I’m always getting a thorough brush thanks to quadrant timers and pressure sensors. Buying an electric toothbrush doesn’t have to be expensive, either: There are plenty of budget-friendly options out there as well as souped-up models for anyone obsessed with tracking their health stats.

Many dentists think electric toothbrushes have a slight edge over manual ones because they can be better at reducing plaque, gingivitis, and the risk of gum recession since they lessen the force we put into cleaning our teeth and gums. When shopping for an electric toothbrush, start with a model that has an ADA Seal of Acceptance to make sure it’s safe and effective when used as directed. After that, you shouldn’t really stress — at least not when it comes to picking among the dentist-approved electric options. Sonya Krasilnikov, a dentist and co-founder of Dental House , says, “Choosing between Sonicare and Oral-B is like picking between a Mercedes and a BMW. It’s mostly personal preference.” Since the differences between them can be so subtle, to put together this guide, I brushed my own teeth with some of the dentist-recommended picks below and tested features like pressure sensors, two-minute quadrant timers, and more.

What we’re looking for

Brush movement.

Electric toothbrushes tend to fall into three camps: rotating, oscillating, and sonic. “Rotating or rotary toothbrushes have small circular heads that rotate back and forth to clean each tooth, and there’s sonic toothbrushes that have vibrating brush heads that move the bristles side to side at really high speeds, sometimes up to frequencies of 50,000 movements per minute,” says Dr.Cooper. Sometimes you will hear oscillating and rotating used interchangeably because they both refer to the actual movement of the bristles — unlike sonic which refers to the vibration of bristles — but rotating indicates movement in a circle while oscillating refers to a side to side motion. Some dentists say that one isn’t necessarily better than the other, while others appreciate the power of sonic slightly more. Dentist Sharon Huang of Les Belles NYC explains that sonic toothbrushes use a sonic wave to dislodge debris all on its own, which she likes because it requires less force to get the job done. “The rotation mechanism, you actually have to touch the tooth and it’s rotating and it’s helping you clean it,” she says. “The sonic toothbrush has a sonic wave. So if you’re in the vicinity, and you’re not even touching your tooth, it’s supposed to be dislodging bacteria.” The sweet spot is a toothbrush that does it all, but orthodontist Janet Stoess-Allen , says that because teeth are curved, “rotating heads are more effective in getting to all sides of them.”

“Hard-bristled toothbrushes are wonderful if you’re going to clean the grout from your bathroom tile, but they’re not for use in the mouth,” says Messina, who explains that harder bristles can damage gums and enamel. Every expert we spoke with said a soft-bristle brush was the way to go in all cases, but especially if you have sensitive teeth and gums.

Pressure sensor

Brushing too hard can be just as damaging as brushing with too hard of bristles, which is why dentist Inna Chern likes brushes with pressure sensors that beep or stop moving when you’re being too aggressive to “eliminate the possibility of overzealous brushing.” A pressure sensor shouldn’t make or break your decision when deciding on what brush to go with, but Huang does think it’s a good idea for people switching from a manual brushes to an electric one for the first time who might be used to be putting some extra umph behind their strokes, which electric toothbrushes don’t require.

Built-in timers are more standard than pressure sensors and a little more essential. Leonard Umanoff of Brooklyn-based LuxDen , recommends toothbrushes that have a built-in timer, as this helps make sure you’re brushing long enough to adequately get rid of plaque. Some will just run for the recommended two minutes, while others have a quadrant timer that will alert every 30 seconds when it’s time to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.

Brush-head size

The consensus is that the smaller the brush head the better. Chern says it’s a good pick “if your mouth is on the smaller side or you have gagging issues.” It also makes it easier to reach your molars, a hard to clean area that people often miss, according to Dentist Hemita Klose of West Village Dental Studio . There are a few cases where a larger head might be better. Orthodontist Heather Kunen reminds us that a toothbrush is only as good as it’s operator, so for brushers who are less meticulous about moving a small brush around every corner of each tooth, they’ll benefit from a broader head.

Replacement heads

Toothbrush bristles become worn and frayed over time, making them less effective at cleaning your teeth. It’s recommended that they’re replaced every three months. Here, I’ve linked to replacement toothbrush heads made by the brand and broken down the cost per head.

Best electric toothbrush overall

Brush movement: Rotating, oscillating, and sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Small | Replacement heads: Four for $20 ($5 each)

While the Oral-B Pro 1000 is a pretty basic and affordable entry-level electric toothbrush (high-end models could run you upwards of $300), it has all the main features dentists recommend. That’s why I bought this toothbrush myself back in 2020 when I first upgraded from a manual one. I have since upgraded again — more on that below — but revisited the Pro 1000 for testing. In the past three months, my teeth feel as squeaky clean as they do with my souped-up toothbrush. While I miss the tracking capabilities of my current model, all of the features that make brushing with an electric toothbrush easier and more effective are here: The built-in two-minute quadrant timer vibrates every 30 seconds, and the pressure sensor stops the pulsation if I’m brushing too hard. Oral-B brushes are known for their small round heads, which allow me to brush around each tooth.

Cosmetic dentist Lana Rozenberg likes that Oral-B brushes generally “have more features” and are “more advanced than the others.” They have a slight edge over competing popular electric toothbrushes because they rotate, oscillate, and pulsate (or vibrate), combining all three technologies. This brush can rotate 44,000 times per minute, which dentist Jonathan Levine says causes “a lot of disruption of plaque.” According to the Oral-B website, all of its round toothbrush heads rotate 45 degrees to the right and back to 45 degrees to the left, as well as oscillate back and forth.

Best less-expensive electric toothbrush

Brush movement: Rotating and oscillating | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: No | Timer: No | Brush-head size: Large

If you want to try out an electric toothbrush without dropping a lot of cash, this is one of the few ADA-approved models you’ll find in the drugstore. Unlike the Oral-B Pro 1000, it doesn’t have a timer or pressure sensor, but Levine says it’s “a good starting point, good for travel, and better than manual.” The brush head moves in two directions: The top part rotates in a circle while the bottom bristles oscillate up and down. The bristles are soft and conveniently change color when it’s time for a new head. This brush is battery-operated, which certainly has its cons, but, as opposed to others on this list that will just be dead when their internal battery dies, this toothbrush’s AA batteries are at least replaceable. That might be the only thing you can fix though. Low-cost brushes tend to be “disposable in the sense that you’ve got plastic mechanical parts … and those will wear out,” Messina says.

Best app-enabled electric toothbrush

Brush movement: Rotating, oscillating, and sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Small| Replacement heads: Two for $22 ($11 each)

I upgraded from my Oral-B Pro 1000 to its newer iO Series toothbrush about a year ago. Off the bat, it’s a much sleeker model, with its OLED display on the brush handle and magnetic charging stand, but its souped-up features stand out most. Like the Pro 1000, it combines rotating, oscillating, and sonic technology, plus a two-minute quadrant timer to make sure you’re brushing the right amount of time. Rather than one mode, it comes with seven: daily clean, gum care, sensitive, super-sensitive, whitening, intense, and tongue clean. I personally use the two-minute daily-clean setting twice a day, which leaves my teeth feeling squeaky clean. And the less-intense 30-second tongue-clean mode got me in the habit of brushing my tongue more regularly (I try to use it at least every other day). I now have fresher breath than when I was brushing my teeth and swishing around mouthwash. The toothbrush’s pressure sensor is more advanced, too. A light at the top of the brush turns red if you’re brushing too hard, white if you’re not brushing hard enough, and green if you’re brushing just right. What I found most helpful, however, is the app it uses to track brushing habits. The toothbrush uses an AI technology called 3D Tracking to show real-time feedback on the app: a rendering of your teeth progressively gets whiter until it tells you that section is fully cleaned. Over time, you can see your progress on the app too. It tells you which spots you frequently miss, so you can easily change bad brushing habits. While it is pricey, I think it’s worth a splurge if you’re wanting a high-tech option.

Best less-expensive app-enabled electric toothbrush

For $70 less, Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell recommends the slightly older Oral-B 8000. It also features a light-up pressure sensor that turns red if you’re brushing too hard and Bluetooth technology for real-time feedback on your brushing habits. Rather than an AI technology that the iO uses, the 8000 relies on using your phone’s front-facing camera. You can easily see the diagnostic report using the included phone holder that suctions onto the mirror. This brush also comes with a charging case, and has six different cleaning modes. And it has a charging dock that has room for additional brush heads. All of these features made this toothbrush a standout to Pia Lieb, founder of Cosmetic Dentistry Center NYC . She’s particularly a fan of the app. “Having the app really does work because it makes you self-conscious of really brushing for two full minutes,” says Lieb, who says that most people don’t come close to the recommended time on their own.

Best Sonicare toothbrush

Brush movement: Oscillating and sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Large | Replacement heads: Three for $27 ($9 each)

Our best-overall pick is an Oral-B, but for those who want to go with the other major player in the space, Sonicare, this is your best option. Sonicare brushes are distinguishable from Oral-B brushes mainly by the brush head. Sonicare’s heads are large and flat compared to Oral-B’s small round brushes, and they’re long-lasting, according to Wellspring Dental dentist Mandy Nebel, who prefers Sonicare over other brands. This specific model — one of two from the brand accepted by the ADA — is a more entry-level Sonicare. When I tested it out for myself, I found it a lot less noisy than the Oral-B best-overall option. I think this is because of how the brush head moves. It doesn’t rotate and instead moves side to side and uses more of an ultrasonic vibrational energy to disrupt plaque and tartar, aiding in the removal of gingivitis-causing, bacteria-holding compounds. Even though it moves differently, I found my teeth feeling just as clean as when I brushed with the Oral-B Pro 1000. Similarly, this Sonicare has a quadrant timer, pressure sensor, and soft bristles. A couple of bonuses: It has a light that tells you when to replace the head and a protective brush cap. The main reason that it’s not the best overall is the larger brush head, which may not work for most people, but other than that, it’s an excellent option for about $50.

Best electric toothbrush with long battery life

Brush movement: Sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: No | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Large | Replacement heads: Three for $19 ($6 each)

This toothbrush has a large, long head similar to Sonicare brushes. It doesn’t have the name recognition of some of the bigger brands, but the Pro-Sys sonic brush is marketed to dentists, and many sell it directly to patients in their offices, Levine says. Its soft bristles and oval brush head easily reach back into the mouth. It comes with five different brush heads, all variations of soft, making it safe for even the most sensitive teeth and dental implants; there are also five levels of cleaning power, meaning there are 25 potential settings on this toothbrush. The biggest standout is the battery life: While most toothbrushes on this list will last about two weeks on one charge, this one can go for about a month. If you travel often or just forget to plug yours in, you’ll rarely have to worry about traveling with your charger or about the Pro-Sys dying on you.

Best electric toothbrush and water flosser combo

Brush movement: Sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Large | Replacement heads: Two for $24 ($12 each)

If you’re shopping for an electric toothbrush and a water flosser , consider this two-in-one model that combines the best of both devices. It has three functions — brushing, flossing, and both — and two brush speeds. Compared to regular flossing, water flossing can be easier for those with limited mobility or certain dental work, like braces or implants. And it even “removes the harmful bacteria and debris deep between teeth and below the gumline that traditional brushing and dental floss can’t reach,” says Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, an orthodontist at New York’s Dr. Smiles. But while it shouldn’t replace traditional flossing, it’s the next best thing, says Rabinovich, who uses one herself and recommends it to patients. She even says that after using it, her mouth feels like “I just had my hygienist go at it.”

Best less-expensive electric toothbrush and water flosser combo

Brush movement: Sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush-head size: Large | Replacement heads: Three for $24 ($8 each)

This two-in-one flosser and toothbrush system recommended by Dr. Elisa Mello, owner of NYC Smile Design, is about $50 cheaper than the Fusion Professional model above. You won’t get the same convenience of water flossing and brushing at the same time, but if you’re looking for an all-in-one device where you have options to do both, this is a great affordable model. The brush has three sonic modes (clean, whiten, and massage for gum stimulation) and three speeds, so it actually has more brushing options than the Fusion. The flosser itself has ten different pressure settings, ranging from 10 to 100 psi, and the 22-ounce tank holds enough water to run for 90 seconds. And while the toothbrush has a two-minute quadrant timer, the flosser does not.

Best electric toothbrush for kids

Brush movement: Rotating and oscillating | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: No | Timer: Yes | Brush head size: Small | Replacement heads: Two for $17 ($8 each)

Generally, you’ll want to wait to introduce kids to electric toothbrushes since toddlers’ gums may be too tender for bristles, Rabinovich tells us. Usually, kids’ electric toothbrushes are marketed for ages 3 and up, but Rabinovich recommends them for those older than 5. If you’re having trouble acclimating your kid to an electric toothbrush, Dr. Rashmi Ambewadikar of Astoria Smiles Pediatric Dentistry recommends starting with front teeth and moving toward the back to avoid gagging and the feeling of vibration on the tongue, and brushing small sections at a time to give them breaks. Steven C. Cohen of Livingston Smiles and Rabinovich both advise going with a brush with their favorite character or cartoons. “Are they in a Disney Princess or PAW Patrol stage? Kids are more likely to use a toothbrush with their favorite characters on it,” Rabinovich says. Cohen approves of Oral-B’s collection of kids’ brushes . This one is rechargeable and has a sensitive brush head with soft bristles and a built-in timer.

Best less-expensive electric toothbrush for kids

Brush movement: Sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: No | Timer: Yes | Brush head size: Small | Replacement heads: Three for $37 ($12 each)

Quip, a start-up toothbrush company, is known for making sleek-looking, minimalist toothbrushes at an affordable price. Rabinovich’s kids use the brand’s kids’ toothbrush, which “does offer some ultrasonic vibration, but it’s not overwhelming” for teeth that are still growing. I’ve tried the brand’s regular toothbrush in the past and can say it’s much gentler than the other ones I’ve tried on this list, but my teeth always felt clean after using it. Rabinovich says that’s because its soft bristles are surrounded by rubber massagers, which are gentler on tender gums with loose and erupting teeth. “And the subscription service for replacement heads and batteries means one less thing for me to remember to do as a parent,” Rabinovich adds. Dr. Ambewadikar also recommends Quip’s brushes for kids because its smaller handle is easier to grip. Another major benefit I found is that it doesn’t require a charging base and frees up counter space — something families sharing a bathroom might appreciate. Bonus: It comes in four bright, kid-friendly colors: blue, pink, purple, and green.

Best Travel Toothbrush: Top 5 in 2022

By Alice Ross | BEAUTY & HYGIENE

• BEAUTY & HYGIENE » Best Travel Toothbrush: Top 5 in 2022

If you're looking for an effective way to take care of your teeth when you're on the road, it's important to bring the best travel toothbrush with you wherever you go.

One of the best things about a travel toothbrush is that it's designed specifically for those on the move. The best models are made with portability in mind, and are therefore very convenient to carry around. While some hotels offer free toiletries that often include a basic toothbrush, it's usually a better idea to have a reliable one of your own.

**Below, you'll find more detailed reviews, but you can also click the links above to check the current prices and read customers' reviews on Amazon.

There are many types of travel toothbrushes available on the market in 2022. You can find models of different sizes, and some that even come with an additional range of technical features. When buying your travel toothbrush, you should definitely make sure to invest in one that you can use and clean easily and that will last you a long time.

Choosing the Best Travel Toothbrush

Toothbrushes are available in different sizes, shapes, and forms - not to mention, different brands that each claim to have created the best toothbrush! Despite the large pool of choice, selecting the best travel toothbrush may seem easy. But is it?  Actually, there are a few things you should consider when buying a travel toothbrush - or in fact, any kind of toothbrush. Here are the main aspects to pay attention to:

When to Replace Your Toothbrush

Before you start looking for the best travel toothbrush, it's important to have an idea of when you should replace your toothbrush. There are three key factors to consider. First of all, your toothbrush should normally be replaced every three months. Second, you have to change it when the bristles start to show wear and tear. Third and last, it can simply be replaced when you feel you have to change it.

For some people, three months may seem too soon to change their toothbrush, particularly if it does not show any signs of wear and tear. However, toothbrushes are sometimes worn out enough to be replaced even when they still look pretty decent. Old, worn out bristles lose their efficiency, and they're also a source of bacteria, germs, and fungus. Preferably, you need to replace your toothbrush before it makes you sick.

If you don’t want to get a new toothbrush, don’t forget to disinfect it. Wet the bristles of your toothbrush and place it in the microwave for about 60 seconds. Then put hydrogen peroxide over its head and rinse carefully.

Choosing the best travel toothbrush is very important. A good toothbrush has to provide you with maximum comfort when using it. The head must fit securely between your cheek and your teeth and must be able to reach your molar. Since the size of our teeth varies from person to person, it it up to you to pick the one you feel is the most comfortable. However, if you're uncertain, you can always choose a smaller one.

Another important thing to consider when choosing the best toothbrush is the type of bristles. Choose a toothbrush with soft to medium bristles. Unless a dentist specifically recommends it to you, avoid buying a toothbrush with hard bristles. Hard bristles together with hard brushing will harm the coating of your teeth and gums.

Battery-Operated Vs. Manual Toothbrush

Choosing between an electric toothbrush and a manual one is a matter of personal preference. Scientific research shows that there’s really not a huge difference when it comes to cleaning power. Note that a battery-operated one is a bit more expensive, as you have to change both its batteries and head regularly. On the other hand, kids get more motivated to brush their teeth when they are using a battery-operated toothbrush. Choosing a manual toothbrush is more economical as it is cheaper than electric models.

Here are some other considerations to take into account when choosing the best travel toothbrush for you:

Brush head sizes 

Toothbrush heads are available in different sizes, from small, compact formats to long ones. You must choose a brush that’s comfortable to hold and that can easily reach all surfaces of your pearly whites. Standard toothbrushes come with heads that measure a half-inch in width and an inch in length. People with smaller mouths or sensitive teeth should make sure to choose a model that can easily reach the sides and backs of their molars.

Bristle varieties 

It's not just the size of your toothbrush head that you should consider, but also the kind of bristles you choose. Most bristles are available in soft, medium, and hard nylon varieties. Many people believe that a softer bristle is the best choice. Depending on your mouth’s condition and your brushing habits, a hard brush may actually harm your protective tooth enamel, and hurt your gums and root surface.

Dentists normally suggest you choose bristles that have rounded tips for extra protection against cuts. There are also toothbrushes available on the market that have a diagonal bristle shape to help brush every corner of your teeth throughout your gum line, or a cup shape.

Whether you choose a battery-powered or manual toothbrush, it is important to   buy a quality product  that will help to keep your mouth fresh for a long period of time. Search for a product that has the American Dental Association Seal of Approval. If you are not sure what is the best travel toothbrush for you, it's a good idea to check with your dentist. And most of all, don’t forget to brush your teeth regularly.

The toothbrush has a tri-fold design that lets the head of the brush fold into the handle for hygienic and convenient storage anywhere.

Even though I’ve used a lot of toothbrushes claiming to suit those who travel, the Violife Slim Sonic will initially grab your attention. This is a portable gadget with a very comprehensive design, which makes it a perfect companion for your travels. It offers 22,000 brush strokes per minute, which ensures that you can clean your teeth rapidly, securely and efficiently.

My Violife Slim Sonic came with two brush heads (these consist of medium soft bristles) and an AAA battery. The toothbrush looks so feminine that it just seems like an accessory that could stay in a woman’s tote indefinitely. This electric toothbrush has a very slim design with a mascara-like lid. Due to the way it’s made, it could fit in a small pocket, in a suitcase, briefcase, backpack, or in your makeup case.

4. Philips Sonicare HX5610/30 Essence 5600

Another travel toothbrush I personally like to take on my travels is the Sonicare HX5610/30 Essence 5600.

My favorite thing about it is the fact that it comes with a travel case, a charger base, a soft-grip handle, as well as the signature Smarttimer that is common to Philips toothbrushes. So far, I’ve noticed that this toothbrush takes off a lot of plaque from the pockets between my teeth and in my gum line. Another asset is the angled neck that reaches even the farthest molars in the back of my mouth. I have very sensitive gums, and this toothbrush does not harm me in any way. In fact, it even massages my gums as I move the rotating brush head from one tooth to another. Another great thing about it is that it can go two weeks without needing to be recharged.

Editor's Rating: 93/100

Price On Amazon: from $59.50

• It uses sonic technology’s dynamic cleaning action, which guarantees undeniably nice results

The Oral-B 3D White Action Toothbrush is designed for travelers, and offers a long battery life. It is very easy to use, soft on your gums and teeth, and cleans your entire mouth.

It naturally whitens the teeth by getting rid of the stains located on their surface. Its bristles are made of rubber that hugs every tooth and helps to hold the toothpaste in place where it needs to be to actually remove stains. It is designed to reach between the teeth and remove plaque. As a downside, the motor that spins the head can be loud.

Editor's Rating: 90/100

Price On Amazon: from $5.69

• It naturally whitens your teeth by taking off the stains on their surface
• Its bristles are made from a special kind of rubber that has beneficial properties

If you still use a manual toothbrush , it is easy to just grab one on-the-go. However, many people today prefer electric toothbrushes, and these require a little bit more planning before packing them in your suitcases.

To guide you in making the best choice before heading on your special holiday, we have reviewed 10 of the most practical electric toothbrushes for travel.

Top 10 Best Electric Toothbrush for Travel

Check out our table below to make a quick pick, but if you want a more detailed review of each toothbrush, keep reading.

1. Fairywill Electric Toothbrush Powerful Sonic Cleaning

The Fairywill Sonic Electric Toothbrush is one of the leading electric toothbrushes in the market today. If you’re wondering what all those buttons are, these are five different brush modes to suit your every need, which include Whitening, Massage, Polish, Sensitive, and Clean. If you’re traveling for less than 30 days, you won’t even need to bother with charging the device as one single 40-hour charge can last up to a month, if you do need to charge it, it is done so by USB, so you can easily use your phone’s USB plug head.

Also, there is a two-minute timer to indicate when you’re done, as well as 30-second intervals to ensure you are brushing every area thoroughly. Three brush heads are included in the box, as well as a special one to really get in between your teeth and gums. One of the minor annoyances is that it can’t sit upright while it’s charging, and you might not want it laying on your counter. We wouldn’t be surprised to hear that this is the electric toothbrush that James Bond uses!

2. HIEIE Sonic Electric Toothbrush, IPX7 Waterproof

The HIEI Sonic Electric Toothbrush is a slick-looking electric toothbrush that is great for travel. Doesn’t it look like it was designed by the late Steve Jobs? It is highly customizable, and it is easy to make it suit your needs, with five different brushing modes: Clean, Bright White, Cool, Sensitive, and Massage. Just like many electric toothbrushes on the market today, it has a two-minute timer with 30-second intervals to ensure you are cleaning every area equally.

If you are going on a short trip, you might not even need to charge it, as a single 10-hour charge can last up to a month, making it great for traveling. It comes with a compact, practical travel box that is easy to pack, but unfortunately, the charging device does not fit in the box. Also, some people have complained about feeling a tickling sensation due to the vibration when first using it, but after period of around two weeks, your mouth gets used to it.

Charger Does Not Fit In Travel Box

3. Phillips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100

The Phillips Sonicare Protective Clean claims to improve your gum health by 100 percent when switching from a good old manual toothbrush. It’s one of the best travel toothbrushes out there as it is compact, and it comes with a slick travel case, making it easy to pack.

One of the unique features of this toothbrush is the brush head replacement reminder that lets you know when it’s time for a new one. Also, its two-minute timer indicates when you’re done brushing. To protect your pearly whites, it has a sensor that indicates when you’re brushing too hard, which is an option we haven’t seen in many other electric toothbrushes. Thank you Phillips! This one is a little pricier than the other toothbrushes on this list, but with its long list of features and durable quality, it’s understandable.

What is the best electric toothbrush for traveling purposes?

It is difficult to select a single electric toothbrush as the best, because it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re after the best bang for your buck, the reasonably-priced Fairywill P11 is a great choice. When it comes to whitening, the best travel electric toothbrush is the Wagner Switzerland Whiten+ Edition, thanks to its 2 specialized whitening modes. For something a little more fashionable, but that still does a great job at cleaning your teeth, you might want to look at the beautifully-designed Atmoko Black Series.

Can I bring an electric toothbrush on the plane?

The simple answer is YES! In accordance with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you are allowed to take your electric toothbrush both in your carry-on and in your checked bags.

Can toothpaste go in hand luggage?

According to the TSA, along with your electric toothbrush, you can also take toothpaste in your hand luggage, as long as it’s less than 3.4 oz/100 ml.

What kind of toothbrush should I use?

Choosing the right kind of toothbrush all depends on your needs. If you are dealing with plaque, electric toothbrushes are much more effective at cleaning it. On the other hand, if you have sensitive gums, it is better to stick to soft bristles. One of the most important factors isn’t the kind of toothbrush you use, but the amount of time you spend brushing. Thankfully, nowadays, most electric toothbrushes come with a 2-minute timer to indicate that you’re done brushing.

How quick can I charge an electric toothbrush?

Of course, this all depends on the model you’re using, but generally, most electric toothbrushes these days take around 15 hours to charge, but after that, they last for around 3 weeks to a month. If you hate slow-charging devices, we highly recommend the Fairywill P11 that only needs a 2-hour charge to run for a whole month!

Do electric toothbrushes damage teeth?

It would be a lie to claim that there is zero risk of damaging your teeth with an electric toothbrush, but this is not due to the brush itself, but more due to the temptation to push a little too hard while using these devices. To deal with this issue, some electric toothbrushes, such as the Oral-B Genius Pro 8000, include a pressure sensor system that will let you know when you’re pushing too hard in order to protect your pearly whites.

So, these are 10 of the best travel electric toothbrushes on the market today. Thanks to their compact cases, these toothbrushes are easy to pack, and their long battery life will ensure you don’t need to charge them if you’re going on a short holiday. Many of these feature advanced technology, with one that even offers facial recognition linked to your iPhone to know exactly which areas you’ve brushed! Nowadays, toothbrushes are definitely not what they were in the past, and there is an abundance of options out there. So, we hope that our list has made your choice easier!

While the toothbrush handle is made from bamboo the BPA-free bristles are infused with charcoal for extra cleaning and whitening. They are also soft and won’t damage your gums.

Toothbrush Buyer’s Guide

When looking for a travel toothbrush there are a few things that you need to consider.

First of all, think about how much space you will have to accommodate your toothbrush. If you are traveling light this will be a priority, and it may depend on how long your trip is going to take.

This may also affect whether you decide between a manual or electric toothbrush. A shorter trip may warrant a manual toothbrush.

However, if you are going to be away from home for a while you don’t want your dental health to suffer. In this case you may want to take an electric toothbrush.

Time away also means you will need to be able to charge up your electric toothbrush so consider how long it takes to charge as well as how long the charge will last.

Different toothbrushes have different heads with most electric toothbrushes having round heads and manual toothbrushes the more traditional elongated heads.

Choosing the right one for traveling is just as important as the one you will use at home.

Finally, you need to consider the hygiene of your toothbrush while you are traveling.

At home, you will put your toothbrush somewhere to dry after use but when you are living out of your luggage it is tempting to put your wet toothbrush back into your toiletries bag.

When traveling most considerations about toiletries come down to size and the same applies to your toothbrush.

If you are planning to take a full-sized cosmetic bag in your checked luggage then you will have room for a regular toothbrush, either manual or electric.

However, if you are only going to take a carry-on piece of luggage with you there is a case for having a travel-sized toothbrush.

Some are smaller in size than a regular toothbrush while others are foldable.

Of course, you could always pack your regular electric toothbrush in your checked luggage and have a pack of disposable toothbrushes in your carry-on case.

After all, you never know when your flight might be delayed or the worst could happen, and your luggage gets lost.

The best course of action is to think about how accessible you want your toothbrush to be in your luggage and how often you will be using it while you are actually traveling.

Manual Or Electric

Most people use electric toothbrushes these days as they are recognized as being much more effective at cleaning your teeth than a manual toothbrush.

In most cases, they are 100% more effective, so it’s easy to see why they are preferred.

But if you think you will have issues with getting access to a charging point for your electric toothbrush you may have to take a manual toothbrush if only as a backup.

While they may not be as effective as electric toothbrushes, a manual brush is better than no toothbrush.

Of course, the room you have in your luggage is another consideration when deciding between manual and electric toothbrushes.

Limited space may make a manual folding toothbrush a more sensible choice than a bulky electric toothbrush with a case and charger.

If you have the room, an electric toothbrush in your checked luggage and a manual in your carry-on cover you for most eventualities. Read our guide about taking an electric toothbrush on a plane .

Charging Times

When you do choose to take an electric toothbrush on your travels then knowing how long it takes to fully charge is important.

A good tip is to plug it in as soon as you get to your accommodation and keep it charging when you can.

If you are moving around a lot and not staying in one place for the duration of your trip, take advantage of when you can get access to a charging point for your electric toothbrush.

Some electric toothbrushes such as the SURI Sustainable sonic toothbrush charges in just 4 hours and lasts for a month on a single charge.

Others like the Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige take 16 hours to charge, so this is something to bear in mind.

The Colgate Hum operates on rechargeable batteries which last 10 days on one charge and the batteries only have a 90-day life.

If you are on a long trip you may need to take extra batteries with you as replacements.

Cleaning your teeth when you are traveling or on holiday is just as important if not more so than when you are at home.

When we travel, we are more likely to indulge in foods we might not eat on a regular basis.

For this reason, it is important to have a toothbrush with a head that effectively cleans your teeth.

You may find an oscillating toothbrush works best for you, or perhaps you prefer a sweeping action on your electric toothbrush.

Whatever you would use at home you should try to duplicate as closely as possible while you are traveling.

It is also easy to fall out of our regular routine when we travel or are on holiday. This is another reason to not skimp on the right toothbrush head for your dental hygiene.

Skipping your routine can have implications for your dental health.

A good quality toothbrush should ensure that any lapses in routine do not have a negative impact on the health of your teeth and gums.

As well as keeping your teeth hygienically clean while you are traveling it is equally important to maintain the hygiene of your toothbrush.

It is an easy habit to fall into, packing a wet toothbrush, but this provides a breeding ground for bacteria.

Even putting a damp toothbrush into its travel case can result in a build-up of nasty germs.

Some electric toothbrushes such as the SURI Sustainable sonic toothbrush have a travel case that is also a self-cleaning unit.

It uses UV-C light to kill off any bacteria that may be breeding on your toothbrush bristles.

If you don’t have a self-cleaning unit for your toothbrush make sure you allow it plenty of time to air dry before packing it in your luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Most Sanitary Way To Store A Toothbrush?

Treat your toothbrush the same way you would at home when you are traveling. Allow it to stand upright in a good flow of air to dry after use.

Of course, you should always thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after use to remove all traces of toothpaste and food particles.

You should never pack a wet or damp toothbrush as it encourages bacteria.

How Long Should You Keep A Travel Toothbrush?

Any toothbrush whether your regular one at home or your travel toothbrush should be changed every three months.

This is because they accumulate bacteria regardless of how often they are used.

Should You Cover Your Toothbrush?

While covering your toothbrush may seem like the right thing to do to keep it clean this is not what you should do.

Allow your toothbrush to stand upright, not lying down in a well-ventilated area of your bathroom.

Good airflow around the toothbrush head is important to allow it to dry out and prevent the growth and breeding of bacteria.

This is because bacteria thrive in a moist environment and by covering your toothbrush that is exactly what you are providing.

Do You Cover Your Toothbrush When Traveling?

When traveling, you should keep your toothbrush in its travel case. Make sure that it has had enough time to dry out completely before packing it.

As soon as you get to your accommodation take it out of its travel case.

10 Best Travel Toothbrushes For Your Next Trip

Last updated on November 2nd, 2023

Travel lovers will agree that a subpar toothbrush is not only a major roadblock to keeping teeth and gums healthy but can also dent the travel plans. You certainly don’t want to face problems such as bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease, that can put a damper on your adventures. 

Hence, while it may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when packing your bags, a quality travel toothbrush is absolutely essential for maintaining good oral hygiene on the go. It’s not just a convenience but a necessity. So while traveling will change your daily routine, it should never affect your oral health. 

From electric to manual, folding to disposable, the market is flooded with toothbrushes of all shapes and sizes. So, whether you prefer a classic manual toothbrush or the high-tech capabilities of an electric brush, there's a travel toothbrush out there to suit your needs. 

In this article, we'll explore the features to look for when choosing a travel toothbrush, and recommend some of the best options available on the market. 

Features to look for before buying the best travel toothbrush

When choosing the best travel toothbrush there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that you find the right one for your needs.

Size and Weight

An important factor to consider when choosing a travel toothbrush is its size and weight. As you will be packing your toothbrush into your luggage or carry-on bag, you’ll need your toothbrush to be compact and lightweight, for you to transport it easily and without adding bulk or weight to your travel gear.

Bristle Quality

The quality of the toothbrush bristles is also vital. Opt for toothbrushes with high-quality bristles that can effectively clean your teeth and gums. Soft bristles are generally recommended to avoid damaging your tooth enamel or irritating your gums.

Handle Design

The handle design of a travel toothbrush is another important consideration. Some toothbrushes have folding or telescoping handles, so they’re much more compact and therefore easier to pack. Others have ergonomic handles that offer a comfortable grip while brushing. Choose a handle design that is comfortable for you to use as well as fits your preferences.

Power Source

If you want to get an electric travel toothbrush, the power source is a crucial factor to take into consideration. Some models require batteries, while others have rechargeable batteries or can be charged via USB. Choose a toothbrush with a power source that is convenient and easy to use, depending on your travel needs.

Not to forget about the battery life. Get a travel toothbrush that can last at least a week or two on a single charge. You can also consider battery-operated toothbrushes. While they aren’t as appealing as rechargeable ones, they are often less expensive.

Its Bluetooth and artificial intelligence technology provide real-time guidance, and it cleans with a side-to-side sweeping motion and a sonic technology to disrupt plaque. The toothbrush lasts up to 32 days on a single charge, and it reminds you when to replace the brush head.

Reddit Summary

Looking for a good travel toothbrush? You're not alone. A Reddit discussion explored a variety of options, from expensive electric brushes to budget-friendly foldable models. While some users recommended the Quip brush, others found it to be underpowered compared to their Sonicare toothbrushes. The Phillips One by Sonicare received mixed reviews, but some travelers preferred it to the Quip for its USB rechargeability and more powerful brush strokes. For those looking for a non-electric option, foldable brushes from Colgate and GUM were popular choices. So whether you prefer a high-tech brush or something simpler, there are plenty of travel toothbrush options out there.

Can you fly with an electric toothbrush?

Bringing your electric toothbrush with you on a plane is no problem at all, as long as you keep a few important things in mind. One of the most crucial factors is whether your toothbrush contains a lithium battery, which is quite common in many modern electric toothbrushes. If your toothbrush does contain a lithium battery, then you must pack it in your carry-on luggage due to hazardous materials regulations. It's also a good idea to check with your airline for any specific rules or restrictions that they might have about electronic devices in your luggage. So no worries, you can surely enjoy a stress-free travel experience with your trusty electric travel toothbrush by your side!

How do I keep my toothbrush clean when traveling?

First, use a case or cover to protect your travel toothbrush from germs and bacteria. This is especially important if you're sharing space or carrying it in a bag.

Second, make sure to rinse your toothbrush with hot water after each use to get rid of any leftover toothpaste or debris.

Third, keep your toothbrush in a dry place to prevent bacteria growth. Never put it in a damp bag or leave it on a wet sink.

Lastly, disposable toothbrushes should only be used once. Don't try to get another use out of it.

How long can you keep a travel toothbrush?

When it comes to travel toothbrushes, they're designed to be compact and convenient for your travels, but they don't last forever. Typically, a travel toothbrush can last for a few weeks to a month of regular use, depending on factors like materials and how often you brush. But don't forget that you should always replace your toothbrush every three to four months for the best oral hygiene. This applies to regular toothbrushes too! So, keep brushing, and be sure to replace your toothbrush regularly to maintain that killer smile.

In summary, choosing the best travel toothbrush can make a big difference in your oral hygiene routine while you're on the go. When searching for the perfect travel toothbrush, don’t forget to consider the factors that we’ve discussed in this article. We hope that our list of the best travel toothbrushes will help you make an informed decision. Remember, with the right travel toothbrush, you can keep your teeth healthy and clean no matter where your adventures take you. So whether you're jetting off on a business trip or backpacking through foreign lands, make sure to have the best travel toothbrush by your side to keep your teeth healthy and clean.

6 Best Electric Toothbrushes of 2024

Electric toothbrushes give manual options a run for their money. In fact, according to New York City-based dentist Michael Wei, DDS, using an electric toothbrush is much more effective than a regular toothbrush. “The electric toothbrush’s rotating bristles will clean your teeth better and are able to get in tight spaces that a manual one would not be able to,” he says.

Electric toothbrushes are also easier to use, and many people find them more enjoyable, too. To help you narrow down the options, we talked to three dental experts and used those insights to make recommendations based on your specific needs. The Oral B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush earns our top pick for the best electric toothbrush because it offers several advanced features and cleaning modes despite its affordable price tag. Our list features other options, as well, including one with smart technology, a travel-friendly model, and a toothbrush for those with sensitive teeth.

• Things To Consider When Buying

Electric vs. Manual Toothbrushes

Oral B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush  »

Many advanced features, including pressure sensors and timers

Three brushing modes

Reasonably priced for the features it includes

Doesn’t include extra brush heads

Limited color options

Oral B is one of the most highly regarded names in dentistry, and biomimetic dentist Lauren Becker, DDS , says they make some of the best electric toothbrushes on the market. The brand has several lines of electric toothbrushes, but the Oral B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush is the best overall option on our list because of its features and value.

This toothbrush, which retails for just under $50, is one of the lowest-priced models in Oral B’s lineup, though it’s packed with expert-recommended features that can help you brush better.

This is an oscillating toothbrush, which means it rotates and spins to remove plaque and clean teeth. It has three cleaning modes – Daily Clean, Whitening, and Sensitive – plus a pressure sensor that stops the oscillation if you push too hard. There's also a two-minute timer that helps you brush for the recommended duration of time and a 30-second pulsating timer that alerts you when it’s time to switch quadrants.

This option includes the brush only, but the Oral B Pro 1000 is compatible with most of the brand’s brush heads (except ones in the iO series), so you can buy whichever replacement heads you prefer. This model is rechargeable and comes with a corded charging base.

Quip Adult Electric Toothbrush  »

Less expensive than other electric toothbrushes

Option for a subscription for brush head refills

Comes with mount/cover

Only one cleaning mode

No pressure sensor

The Quip Adult Electric Toothbrush is a budget-friendly model that costs about $30 and is often on sale. This is a sonic toothbrush, which means it uses vibration to clean your teeth. According to Alexander Vaiman, DDS , of New York Family Dental Arts, sonic toothbrushes work faster than oscillating toothbrushes (though they may be slightly less effective at plaque removal).

There’s one mode, and the toothbrush has a three-month battery life – it operates on a AAA battery instead of a rechargeable one. This means you don’t have to store it on a corded base. Instead, it comes with a brush holder that you can use to conveniently mount it to your mirror. This holder also doubles as a cover for travel.

Megan Wood, senior editor of Home Goods for U.S. News & World Report, was hesitant to switch her manual toothbrush for an electric one until she tried the Quip. “I immediately liked that it was battery powered, didn't take up bathroom counter space, and was easy to travel with,” Woods says. She adds, “And, I could feel the difference after brushing. Now, I'm an electric toothbrush convert.”

Michelle Barron, digital production and operations manager at U.S. News & World Report, is also a fan of this model, calling it “sleek” and “easy to transport.” She particularly likes its timer function and how it doesn’t need to be charged (though, she notes, this means you’ll have to purchase replacement batteries).

The Quip is somewhat customizable. You can choose between plastic and metal handles – the metal will cost you about $15 more – in eight colors. This gives it a more elevated look that can blend in with your bathroom aesthetic more than some of the other options on our list.

There are no brush refills included with your initial purchase, but you can sign up for a subscription to get one, two, or three new brush heads shipped to you every three months.

Mode Electric Toothbrush  »

Lasts 30 days on a single charge

Wireless charging dock

Lifetime warranty with subscription

No advanced features

Mode’s wireless charging dock makes it an excellent option for travel and for keeping your counters clear. Instead of a bulky, corded charging base, Mode has a magnetic, wireless charging dock that lies flush against your outlet. This component features a built-in nightlight and can rotate to make room for other plug-in accessories, whether it be a phone charger or a hair dryer. The electric toothbrush also comes with a brush head cover so you can keep it protected and sanitary when you’re on the road.

It doesn’t have advanced features, but there’s an oscillating cleaning mode and its soft, tapered bristles are designed to get between the teeth. The battery is rechargeable, and the brush can last up to 30 days on a single charge, so you might not even have to worry about bringing the charger on shorter trips.

There are two color options to choose from – all white and all black – and the base is made of sleek, waterproof aluminum. While this toothbrush doesn’t come with extra brush heads, you can sign up for a recurring subscription to get refills delivered to you every three months. As long as you have an active subscription, you’ll be covered by a lifetime warranty. If your subscription lapses, the warranty drops to one year from the date of purchase.

Colgate Hum Kids Smart Battery Powered Toothbrush  »

Compatible app to encourage proper brushing

Two-minute timer

Smaller handles and brush head to accommodate kids

No integrated pressure sensor

Not rechargeable

Getting kids to brush their teeth can be a struggle; getting them to brush for the recommended two minutes can be even harder. Hum tried to solve this problem by making brushing a little more fun with their Kids Smart Battery Powered Toothbrush.

This toothbrush connects to an app that uses augmented reality to track brushing progress via live games and it teaches kids where and how to brush effectively. (Note: You’ll need a phone or tablet to connect to this app.) As your child brushes, they’ll unlock new levels and experiences through the app that encourage them to keep up with proper hygiene techniques. You’ll also get a two-minute timer through the app.

Outside of its smart capabilities, this electric toothbrush has a softer vibration for kids, an ergonomic grip designed for smaller hands, and a smaller brush head.

This toothbrush isn’t rechargeable, but the starter kit includes the toothbrush, a connector for the augmented reality feature, a holder for your phone so your child can easily follow along with the app, one replacement brush head, and two AAA batteries. If you choose to sign up for the subscription option, you’ll get a two-pack of brush heads sent to you at the frequency you select (for instance, every three months).

Oral B iO Series 10 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush  »

Seven cleaning modes, including Super Sensitive

Built-in pressure sensor

Connects to app for brush habit tracking

Some say the app could be confusing

The Oral B iO Series 10 is one of the most advanced electric toothbrushes on the market. For starters, it’s fully Bluetooth-compatible and connects to the brand’s app to track your brushing habits and make any recommendations for improvement. But, if you prefer to use your device app-free, you have that option, too.

The smart charger helps monitor your pressure, brushing time, and coverage area in real-time. There’s a pressure sensor on the toothbrush itself that shows a red light when you’re brushing too hard, or a green light when you’re using the right pressure. This makes it easy to adjust while you’re looking in the mirror as you brush.

Additionally, there’s an interactive color display that shows the current setting; there are seven total, including Daily Clean, Intense, Whiten, Sensitive, Super Sensitive, Gum Care, and Tongue Clean. The display also shows brushing time (there’s a two-minute timer) and charging progress, and provides alerts for when it’s time to change your brush head.

Isabel Roy, an associate editor at 360 Reviews, owns this toothbrush and appreciates its advanced features. “I have a really big issue with pressing down too hard on my toothbrush, but the pressure sensor has been a game changer for me! She adds, “It's also really helpful to have the timed buzzes throughout so I know when to move to a different section of my mouth.”

While the toothbrush’s charger itself is corded, the brush has a magnetic base that forms a solid connection, ensuring that it reaches a full charge in three hours.

The iO series 10 does have a higher price to match how feature-rich it is, but it comes with some extras too. The box includes four total brush head replacements and a charging travel case in addition to the regular charger and the toothbrush.

Philips Sonicare 900 Series Power Toothbrush  »

Pressure sensor

Three intensities for daily cleaning mode

Comes with travel case

Doesn’t come with sensitive brush heads

For those with sensitive teeth, Dr. Wei recommends a soft-bristled toothbrush with multiple speeds and settings that allow you to adjust the intensity. The Philips Sonicare 9000 Series Power Toothbrush fits the bill.

This toothbrush comes with four modes: clean, white+ (to help remove surface stains), gum health, and deep clean+. The clean mode is the regular daily cleaning setting, and you can set it to three intensities, low, medium, and high, depending on how sensitive your teeth are.

There’s a pressure sensor that alerts you when you’re brushing too hard – a nice option for those who may not feel the sensitivity right away, but get sore after applying too much pressure – and a two-minute timer that provides feedback by vibrating the handle when it’s time to switch quadrants and stop brushing.

This is a smart brush so there’s an option to connect it to a compatible app that tracks your brushing habits and provides reports to see how much you’ve improved over time.

This brush comes with one standard brush head, which may not be the best option for sensitive teeth, but if you want softer bristles, you can purchase sensitive brush heads that are 25% softer.

The Bottom Line

Electric toothbrushes are better than manual ones, according to experts, and the best one for you will depend on your needs. We recommend the highly-rated Oral B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush for most people because it offers plenty of handy features for a reasonable price. However, we also covered other electric toothbrushes that can fit different needs – whether you want a smart electric toothbrush that tracks your brushing habits and alerts you to pressure changes in real-time, a compact model that you can bring with you on your travels, an electric toothbrush that’s designed with kids in mind , or one that’s gentle enough for those with sensitive teeth.

Things To Consider When Buying Electric Toothbrushes

Sonic vs. Oscillating: There are two main types of electric toothbrushes: sonic and oscillating. Sonic toothbrushes use a vibrating motion to clean teeth while oscillating electric toothbrushes use a side-to-side motion. According to Dr. Wei, both types are effective, so the choice between them ultimately comes down to personal preference.

He says that sonic toothbrushes tend to be quieter and require less pressure when brushing. These can be a good option for those with sensitive gums or teeth. Sonic toothbrushes are faster, according to Dr. Vaiman, so they can clean teeth in less time, which is appealing for busier individuals.

On the flip side, oscillating toothbrushes aren’t as gentle, but they tend to be more effective at removing plaque.

Dr. Wei recommends trying out both types to determine which is more comfortable and effective for your individual needs.

Special Features: Electric toothbrushes run the gamut, from very basic models to higher-priced options with lots of advanced features. This partly comes down to personal preferences, but experts recommend buying an electric toothbrush with at least some of the following features:

• Two-minute Timer: Research shows that the average person brushes their teeth for about 45 seconds, but most professionals recommend at least two minutes (twice per day) for best results. A two-minute timer can help ensure you brush your teeth for the recommended two minutes per session.
• Pressure Sensors: Dr. Wei recommends pressure sensors that can alert you when you’re brushing too hard so you can adjust your brushing technique.
• Interchangeable Heads: Some days, your teeth may be more sensitive than others. Dr. Wei says many electric toothbrushes offer interchangeable heads so you can swap out the bristles for a more gentle brushing experience or one that’s better suited for your teeth.
• Waterproof Design: “Look for a toothbrush that’s waterproof so you can use it in the shower or bath without any worry of damaging it,” says Dr. Wei.
• Different Brush Modes: Dr. Vaiman recommends looking for an electric toothbrush with different brushing modes, like sensitivity, teeth whitening, and/or gum massage.
• Replacement Reminder: Dr. Vaiman says that most people don’t replace their brush heads often enough, so a digital prompt that reminds you when it’s time to swap it out can be an important feature.

Extra Accessories: Extra accessories are just a perk, but you might want to consider them when shopping for an electric toothbrush. Some brushes include just the handle and one brush head, but you have to buy any additional accessories separately.

Some models come with several accessories like extra brush heads, a charging travel case, or a smart charger. Granted, the price for these electric toothbrushes tends to be considerably higher than models without these perks.

In most cases, you can purchase any accessories you want through the company’s website or on third-party sites like Amazon; you’ll just have to consider the overall cost of buying them in one package versus buying what you want separately.

On a related note, many companies offer subscriptions for brush head replacements that can help you save some money. So, even if the brush doesn’t come with these extras, you can still save over time by subscribing.

Battery Life and Charging Options: Typically, you’ll have two battery options: a rechargeable battery or replaceable batteries. Dr. Wei recommends a rechargeable battery so you don’t have to worry about running out of power, but this mostly comes down to personal preference.

Most rechargeable electric toothbrushes last anywhere from two weeks to 30 days, depending on how you use them. However, some that require replacement batteries can last up to 30 days with one set of batteries.

Electric toothbrushes have different charging options available. Most have a corded charging base, but others are cordless so you don’t have to worry about wires hanging around your sink. These cordless options can be desirable for those with limited counter space.

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual toothbrushes? In a word: Yes. Electric toothbrushes are more efficient at removing plaque than manual toothbrushes, and the brush head motion dislodges plaque better than a manual toothbrush, according to Dr. Becker. Similarly, Dr. Vaiman shares that it’s impossible to replicate the motion of an electric toothbrush with a manual brush, and electric brushes can get into tighter spaces.

Let’s face it: Brushing your teeth is a chore. Electric toothbrushes automate the process for you, making it less of a drag. Plus, many models come with helpful features like timers to ensure that you’re brushing for the recommended two minutes and sensors to alert you if you’re brushing too hard or if it’s time to switch quadrants.

Manual toothbrushes have their perks, too. They’re cheaper than their electric counterparts, and more likely to be found at a store if you’re in a pinch. Manual toothbrushes don’t require batteries or charging. They’re not noisy to use like electric toothbrushes, meaning you don’t have to worry about late-night or early-morning brushings bothering your household. Not everyone wants the bells and whistles of electric toothbrushes. Ultimately, the best kind of toothbrush is one that you’ll use.

How We Chose  the Best Electric Toothbrushes

Oral care is extremely important, not just for your teeth and gums, but for your overall health, too. Because of this, we don’t take these recommendations lightly. To put together this list of the best electric toothbrushes, we consulted with three dental professionals: New York City-based dentist Michael Wei, DDS , biomimetic dentist Lauren Becker, DDS , and Alexander Vaiman, DDS , a dentist from New York Family Dental Arts.

We asked them questions about the different types of electric toothbrushes and how to choose between them. We also asked about recommended features. We then used their answers to narrow down the choices through extensive research, considering features, prices, extra accessories, and battery life. Overall, we found that it doesn’t matter whether you get an oscillating or a sonic electric toothbrush, as long as you’re using it for the recommended two minutes per session, twice a day.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST US?

At 360 Reviews, our contributors and editors have years of experience researching, testing, and reviewing products. Lindsay Boyers , the author of this piece, has about five years of product reviewing experience with a heavy focus on health-related items. For U.S. News, she has covered meal prep containers and compression leggings , among other topics.

Boyers has also written for several health-focused publications, including Healthline, mindbodygreen, Livestrong, and Verywell Health. In addition to leaning on her own experience, Boyers consulted with three dental experts to write this piece. She, and one of the experts, both use an Oral B iO Series electric toothbrush every day. Marlo Jappen Porto , who edited this piece, is an editor at 360 Reviews, specializing in fitness and sleep.

Generally, you should expect to replace the brush head on your electric toothbrush every three to four months. “Leaving the toothbrush on for too long will lead to the bristles becoming worn out and less effective at cleaning your teeth,” says Dr. Vaiman. You should also replace the toothbrush head if you’re sick to avoid any lingering germs or bacteria, according to Dr. Becker.

Dr. Vaiman recommends storing your electric toothbrush on a counter as far away from the toilet as possible, or in a ventilated cabinet leaving the toothbrush in an upright position.

Dr. Wei adds that it’s important to keep it away from water and other electrical appliances or cords, and never leave it plugged in unless it’s charging.

According to Dr. Wei, a soft-bristled electric toothbrush is best for those with sensitive teeth or gums, but there are additional factors to consider. “Look for a brush with multiple speeds and settings, so you can adjust the intensity of the brushing. Some electric toothbrushes also come with special features, such as timers and pressure sensors, which can help ensure that you don't over brush or brush too hard,” he says.

Dr. Vaiman personally uses the Oral B iO 9 series and says he really likes it. We recommend the newer version of this electric toothbrush, the Oral B iO 10, as the best electric toothbrush for sensitive teeth.

What is the best outfit to wear on a plane?

The best outfit to wear on a plane is one that is comfortable and non-restrictive.

Look for sets or pieces made from stretchy, non-irritating and breathable materials, such as cotton. Athleisure styles are generally a good option, as they’re stylish, flexible and warm enough to keep you cozy at high altitudes.

We love the lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Crop 23-Inch Leggings for travel. They’re soft, look super cute with a hoodie and sneakers, plus have a hidden drawstring for an adjustable fit.

Another option we love comes from Spanx, specifically, the Spanx AirEssentials Cropped Wide Leg Pants and Spanx AirEssentials Half Zip . They don’t come in a set, unfortunately, but the pants have that ever-cool relaxed but tailored look, which will make you look put together, especially when paired with the zip-up.

What shoes to wear on a plane?

The best shoes to wear on a plane are ones that are comfortable and that can be easily taken off and back on when going through TSA.

We like Allbirds Tree Dasher’s 2 . It has a no-slip heel collar for a secure fit, as well as a cushy sole for hours of walking. Most importantly, it can be slipped on and off with ease when needed.
