The Best Electric Toothbrushes in Canada

This has been widely lauded as one of the best and most affordable electric toothbrushes. The Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush comes with many features at a reasonable price, with the majority of users praising it with 5 star reviews. While not being the most ornate brush, it takes its inspiration from the tools you may find at your dentist’s office. Its cross-action brush head rotates and pulsates to remove more plaque closer to the gums than a manual toothbrush. Meanwhile, the pressure sensor will help you from chafing your gums and the in-handle timer counts your brush time in 30-second quadrants so you know when it’s time to move on to another set of teeth.

The toothbrush also features specialized replacement heads for whitening, sensitive teeth and braces.

While not necessarily budget-friendly, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is another one of the best rated electric toothbrushes in Canada. You have options of four different brush heads, five cleaning modes, a rechargeable battery, pressure sensor, Bluetooth connectivity and much more. The power motors allow the bristles to move faster than its competitors, meaning it will slice right through-hardened plaque. Travelling will also be easy thanks to its 14-day battery with USB charging.

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one of the best-reviewed electric toothbrushes ever. It has an average of 4.5 stars on Amazon Canada with more than 500 ratings.

This one has been named the best drugstore electric toothbrush due to its standing as the crowd favourite for many years, according to both online reviewers and toothbrush experts. For an affordable price, you have a quiet but powerful motor, a vibrating brush head with soft bristles, a two-minute timer that works in 30-second pulses, and a rechargeable battery. However, the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100s fewer head options compared to its competitors.

This Philips toothbrush can provide you with similar results to high-end options for a much more reasonable price.

The Waterpik combines flossing and brushing in one convenient system, reducing plaque and improving gum health with in one step. It comes with three modes: brush, floss and a brush+floss combination for a maximum clean. You can also change heads to take care of braces, implants or whitening. It also features 10 pressure settings, a timer with quadrant pacing and a travel case.

Some customers have pointed out that the battery life is problematic, and that the flosser will not function 10 minutes after removing it from the base, meaning you must use it quickly. You’re free to fill the reservoir with your favourite rinse to boost its cleaning power. However, water flossing may not be for everyone, especially those with sensitive gums.

Surely, it is not an electric toothbrush, yet we thought it is a rather useful addition to oral care, and decided to add it to the list. Waterpik flossers are an innovative tool that offers a more effective and pleasant flossing experience comparing to a standard method. It makes sure to remove plaque to the maximum leaving your mouth feeling clean and healthy.   

The unit has two modes: floss mode (plaque remover) and gum stimulation (hydro massage). Besides that, the Waterpik Aquarius has a one-minute timer that ensures thorough water flossing of all areas: it cleans deep between teeth and along the gumline where brushing and traditional flossing cannot reach. As one customer who is a dental hygienist noted, she has to say that there is not a dental aid she likes more than the Waterpik. If a person has periodontal disease (infection of the bone and gums in their mouth), what she does is something called non-surgical periodontal therapy where she brings patients in for multiple appointments with freezing and cleans their teeth with special scalers called ultrasonic scalers. However, when those people buy the Waterpik and use it regularly, their tissue becomes so incredibly healthy, it is as if there was never any periodontal disease to begin in the person’s mouth. 

Some customers have pointed out that the battery life is problematic, and that the flosser will not function 10 minutes after removing it from the base, meaning you must use it quickly. You’re free to fill the reservoir with your favourite rinse to boost its cleaning power. However, water flossing may not be for everyone, especially those with sensitive gums. 

Philips is one of the leading brands in electronics. As well as other products presented by the company, this Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 found many satisfied customers. Its unique sonic technology provides an effective, yet gentle clean. As one customer observed, he cannot believe how much better his mouth feels after using this brush.  

The brush is equipped with a whole list of beneficial features. Firstly, it has a pressure sensor that lets you know whenever you are pressing too hard on your teeth. If that is the habit you want to break, then this feature can be a rather useful one. Secondly, this Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 has three different cleaning modes: white mode (ideal for removing surface stain), gum care mode (gentle gum massage), and clean mode (superior cleaning). More than that, you can choose between a higher setting for advanced cleaning and a lower one for sensitive mouths. As for other features, according to another customer, the timer and indicator to move on to another section in your mouth is also a nice, useful touch.  

 The brush also has a built-in indicator that notifies you whenever the brush head needs a replacement. Like somebody noticed, the only con they see in this electric toothbrush is the pricey replacement heads, but considering the tech built-in each, it makes sense. 

It is another Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush, yet this one is a bit higher in price. However, as one customer who is also a dentist, noted, you are spending more on this, but it is your oral health, and you will immediately see the difference. 

What makes it different from other Philips Sonicare brushes is, this one is a smart device. You can connect the brush to your phone via an app, and it will guide you through the process of teeth brushing indicating spots that still require attention. To other features, the Diamond Clean Smart has four cleaning modes and three intensity settings. Cleaning modes include clean mode (general daily cleaning), white mode (removes stains), deep clean mode (invigorating cleaning), and gum health mode (gentle clean along your gum line).  

Other than that, the brush is very similar in features to the Protective Clean 6100 model. It has a pressure sensor, and brush heads replacement reminder.   

The Quip Electric Toothbrush is one of the first subscription toothbrushes that has an American Dental Association (ADA) certification. The company offers many bundles all of which include a toothbrush, mint toothpaste and refillable floss. It comes in a variety of colours, has a 2-minute timer and a tongue scraper on the back.  It also features a slimmer design for more convenient travel.

You can sign up for an automated refill plan with a lifetime warranty. Every 3 months, you can receive a new brush head and battery for $5 free shipping. Not ready to commit to the subscription? Try it for 30 days without cancellation fees.

The main advantage this brush has, and therefore preferred by many, is a four-week battery life from one charge. You can charge it at home and take it on vacation or a work trip without carrying a charger along. Also, unlike most electric toothbrushes on the market, the BRUUSH features six cleaning modes that deeply and effectively massage, whiten and remove plaque and stains for a result you can see in a few days of use. One satisfied customer noted that his teeth are the cleanest they have been, almost like after a hygienist.  

The set comes with, besides an electric toothbrush, three brush heads (so for at least the next nine months you do not have to worry about replacing them), a travel case and a magnetic charging station. According to another customer, she appreciates the attention to detail with the design of the product, packaging and accessories like the travel case: clearly, the company spent some effort on this product. 

The most important thing to consider when getting your little ones to get into the habit of brushing is the firmness of the bristles. Kids naturally have a firm grip as their motor control is not refined, so you’re going to want a brush that won’t hurt their gums.

The Oral-B Braun kids toothbrush comes with extra-soft bristles and is compatible with a variety of other heads so you won’t have to constantly purchase new ones as your child ages. This is a great option if you want an electric toothbrush for your kid that is safe and doesn’t break the bank.

This head is compatible with your other Oral-B toothbrushes, including the Oral-B Pro 1000 – featured at the top of this article – and the Professional Care 2000. It’s safe to use every day to clean around the wires and those hard-to-reach spots around the braces, bands or any other mods you may have on your teeth.
