my dentist has told me that an electric brush is light years ahead of the standard toothbrush in terms of keeping your teeth and gums right. Have any of you done a legitimate amount of research on this? Just wondering. I went and bought one already.
Electric toothbrush vs old school

Conclusion:
I’m sorry if we weren’t able to find a clear winner, but maybe there really isn’t one in this battle. Most clinical studies that have compared Oral B and Sonicare efficiency are conducted by one of these two brands. That’s why it’s impossible to know which one really has the edge.
Some people prefer vibrations and some prefer oscillating brush motions. Both brands produce some of the best dental hygiene products in the world in the same price range. The only advantage we could find is that Oral B brush heads are usually cheaper. Is that enough to turn you away from Sonicare toothbrushes? Probably not.
It’s also safe to say that most people use the same brand of electric toothbrushes for ever. If you start your way with Oral B, you will probably never know how Sonicare works and same goes the other way around. If you are really not sure which one to try out, you can always start with one of the cheaper electric toothbrushes. They will give you an idea if you feel comfortable with them.

What do your other wives think?
My dentist sold me a Sonicare said it was best. I just assumed it was the one he made the most on.
I've had 3 dentists over the past 6 years due to moving and they've all recommended Sonicare when asking what I used and none of them sell/sold them either as far as I know.
Friend of a friend who is a dentist told me he and his wife (also a dentist, they met at dental school) both use Sonicare and Colgate Total. TIFWIW.
