There are so many practical devicesthat have gotten a smart tech upgrade over the last few years, and the electric toothbrush is no exception. But if the thought of downloading yet another app for something as simple as a toothbrush stresses you out, consider the ultra-popular Philips Sonicare 1100. It has all the workings of an electric toothbrush — a 2-minute timer to make sure you’re brushing for the dentist-recommended time, a rechargeable battery, a portable design — without requiring much tech savvy to operate it, and right now, it’s on sale for 22% off, knocking its $20 price tag down to just $15.50.

Reviewer CtheAmazonian puts it aptly: “If you would like a straightforward, rechargeable, electric toothbrush with soft bristles that fits in the nooks and crannies, is well built and low maintenance, this fits the bill!”
The Sonicare 1100 Series comes with one electric toothbrush, a brush head and a USB standing charger. That rechargeable battery lasts up to a claimed 14 days, and when it’s low on power, it alerts you with a color change. It’s no-frills and simple, but still highly effective.
Reviewers love how slim and easy it is to use, simplifying the brushing experience with the push of a button. One reviewer says it provides “a clean that feels like I just came back from the dentist.”
“So happy to find this basic unit at a great price,” says LisaBeth. “It’s just one speed with the little beep when it’s time to move to the next quadrant, and that is all I need. It’s slimmer and lighter than my last unit, too. Took it with me on a recent trip and the battery held up fine with no charge for a week. Very happy with this purchase!”
Grab one of these highly-rated Philips toothbrushes while it’s just under $16 and read on for more shining (pun intended) reviews.
“Love it! Easy to charge and use. My pearly whites look great, gums feel good. Even tells you when a quadrant has been brushed enough so you should move to another area. This is Definitely a keeper!!! Now I need to purchase additional brush heads! I should not have waited so long to buy one.” — Andrea
“[…] This toothbrush head also fits all the way to the very back teeth, top and bottom, inside and out. It has an audible timer for 30 second quadrants which is always helpful. […] It is a one-speed situation, and seems to be enough. My teeth are clean when done. […] If you would like a straightforward, rechargeable, electric toothbrush with soft bristles that fits in the nooks and crannies, is well built and low maintenance, this fits the bill!
” — CtheAmazonian (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review here.)“I have purchased 5 of these toothbrushes (for my family of 5). They work really well. Ever since I switched to this electric toothbrush, I haven’t had any cavities. When we go on vacation, we take these toothbrushes and they can last on a single charge for 5+ days which is a HUGE bonus! The top comes with a cover which helps with travel. I also like that each toothbrush uses the same charger so if we did want to take a charger with us, we could just take one! The toothbrush isn’t too bulky or heavy. I mainly chose this toothbrush for the great price but have been pleasantly surprised with how much we love it!” — Amhodges
“Boy oh boy I’ve put off buying an electric toothbrush for so long. I wanted the one that combines the eater-pik and toothbrushing but it was pricey, causing me to put it on hold. When I ame across this one I liked the reviews, the cost (although it made me skeptical) but much to my surprise, it thoroughly passed my expectations. I have been battling with trying to get the film off of my teeth. I want them to stay as when you go to the dentist for are your teeth to be cleaned. But nothing was working. That’s why I wanted the other type of toothbrush. I felt like with the flossing at the same time of brushing you couldn’t go wrong. Well, within the first week, I could feel my teeth feel like when I went to the dentist. No film, I also noticed it appears that it doesn’t allow any plaque to build up, another plus. I hardly ever give a review this long, but this one was truly worth it. I’ve had it now for maybe
45 to 60 days. I am highly satisfied. I don’t believe I’ll ever go back to a regular toothbrush.” — UnknownRead more If You Live Alone And You’re Kinda Lazy, These 39 Products Will Help You Maintain Your Space

MasterMedi flexible metal tongue scrapers (20% off list price)
When asked about the best ways to eliminate stubborn bad breath, St. Louis, Missouri-based board-certified orthodontist Dr. Erin Fraundorf previously said that tongue scraping is “possibly the most important and effective” method of eliminating bad breath because it has been found to promote the right balance of good bacteria in the mouth.
She recommended these flexible tongue scrapers — a set that has 9,500+ ratings on Amazon and that I’m also a proud owner of. They are made from 100% authentic copper, which is much easier to clean than plastic and won’t harbor bacteria. The ergonomic design is U-shaped and flexible, so you can cover the entire length and width of your tongue in one pass, or squeeze it smaller to target one specific area. They also come with two cases, so they are easy to store in your bathroom drawer or travel with.
The cult-favorite TheraBreath mouthwash (31% off list price)
St. Louis, Missouri-based board-certified orthodontist Dr. Erin Fraundorf previously said that her favorite mouth rinse for targeting bad breath is this dentist-created option, which has earned 4.6 out of 5-stars on Amazon across 47,600+ ratings and a massive cult following.
The TheraBreath formula adheres to Fraundorf’s claim that mouthwash should be alcohol-free. This is because alcohol can dry out the mouth and kill good bacteria, leading to an imbalance in the microflora that causes bad breath. Instead, TheraBreath is powered by oxygen to help fight bad bacteria and bad breath for up to 24 hours.
Lumineux pain-free whitening strips (20% off list price)
Dr. Bronwyn Hagan of New York-based practice Fitzsimons & Hagan Dentistry previously recommended these Lumineux whitening strips for people with sensitive teeth. They’re non-toxic and peroxide-free, instead using natural ingredients like coconut oil and Dead Sea salt. The box comes with seven treatments that work in much the same way as the Crest strips: Apply them for 30 minutes once a day for four days, and then once a week after that or as directed by your dentist.
