If you skip brushing your teeth for even a day, it can seriously affect your oral health. I hate teaching you, but basically a Marvel movie is playing in your mouth and the bad bacteria start threatening the good bacteria by feasting on scraps of food and releasing acids that cause tooth decay. During all that is going on, plaque starts to build up and that can cause gingivitis. (Ew.) Can something save the day? Maybe the Philips Sonicare Philips One by Sonicare rechargeable toothbrush.

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

While it’s only a fraction of the cost of some electric toothbrushes, this one still has some fancy features. It’s rechargeable and comes in a handy travel case to get you started. One charge lasts for 30 days. It also features a timer that not only lets you know when two minutes are up, but also so you can brush every quadrant of your mouth evenly. Of course, it also has a sonic brushing movement and gently cleans the teeth with micro-vibrations. And the bristles are soft, which, as mentioned earlier, will help prevent you from scrubbing your teeth too hard. This affordable Sonicare toothbrush is available in three colors: champagne, black and white.
