Most dental problems don’t start everywhere at once. They start in the same overlooked spots like along the gumline, between teeth, around dental work — where plaque quietly builds up over time.

Most people simply want a quality electric brush that’ll get their dentist off their back and actually do a good job, but which is best? The two titans of the industry are Oral-B and Philips’ Sonicare, and each offers something different that could align with your dental health goals. So, which one is actually better for you? The short answer: it depends on your mouth, your preferences, and your brushing habits. The long answer, and the one that will help you spend your money wisely, is in this article.
