Electric Toothbrush heads

28/1/2015

Comments

 
Oral B electric toothbrush heads can become quite costly if bought on the high-street but they do not have to be. We have looked at the different Oral B toothbrush heads as well as their direct competitors/imitation heads and compared them so you know what to get next time you're looking for an Oral B electric toothbrush head to replace your current dog eared one!

Generally amazon is your best bet as they will have the cheapest price on both Oral B electric toothbrush heads and imitation heads (unless you are buying hundreds from a wholesaler!)

Here are our top picks and a direct comparison after our dentists used them on the same electric toothbrush:

Standard Oral B electric toothbrush heads - these are the standard heads made by Oral B and at a very good price, click to search on amazon for packs of more than 4.
Imitation heads for Oral B, we found these fit onto the electric toothbrush fine and do work BUT: they fray/become worn out in about half of the time and the difference in bristles results in very slightly less plaque removal; they are fine but the branded ones are better

Oral B PRECISION heads, again branded ones from Oral B are excellent and give an excellent clean, these precision heads are really good.
Imitation PRECISION oral b electric toothbrush heads, again as above, they fit on and work fine but we found exactly the same as the standard heads, that they fray or wear down in about half of the time and remove insignificantly less plaque, good value for money

ORAL B ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH HEADS vs imitation heads - Dentists conclusion

We still recommend to buy the Oral B ones, Yes they are a higher cost in the first instance but they will last longer, give you a lasting clean and you are guaranteed great quality Oral b electric toothbrush heads everytime! Although the imitation heads appear to be fine and are a lot lower cost we feel that for peace of mind and better quality go for Oral B!
As usual any electric toothbrush head questions, ask our dentists
