Zap your plaque: Top Electric Toothbrushes in Singapore
According to a study in 2016, over 30% of elderly Singaporeans are completely toothless. That’s quite a shocker coming from a country that boasts 100% fluoridation!
It’s understandable that sometimes, we forget to brush our teeth. Even people who regularly brush their teeth may encounter dental issues due to poor brush quality.
If you want to keep your pearly whites, then say goodbye to plain toothbrushes and upgrade your oral care routine! Leave the dirty work to these top electric brushes in Singapore each time you visit the bathroom.
| How much does an electric toothbrush cost in Singapore? An electric toothbrush in Singapore will set you back between $90 and $400 per unit, depending on the brand, features, and unit type. Electric toothbrush prices may vary due to package inclusions, accessories, additional replacement heads, and the number of brushing features included in one unit. |
1. Mola Sonic Toothbrush
Mola Oral Care’s founder faced a challenge: finding a toothbrush effective for her crooked teeth. After testing various products and conducting research, she solved the issue by developing the Mola Sonic+ Toothbrush.
The toothbrush is tailored for sensitive teeth and gums, featuring copper-free heads and 0.005 mm bristles. You can customise vibration and strength through five built-in modes or craft a custom one using the handle’s LCD display.
The five brushing modes—Clean, Sensitive, Deep Clean, Whitening, and Gum Care—address various cleaning needs. You can also choose the duration and intensity of your brushing mode.
Whether recovering from dental surgery or requiring gentle yet thorough cleaning, you can monitor and adjust your brush cycles based on your dentist’s recommendations.
Presently, two variants are offered: Pearl White and Satin Black. You can also opt for an additional Mola UV Toothbrush Sanitizer pack, serving as a steriliser and case combined.

Cute and stylish design
“SO DARN CUTE!!!!! My favourite feature is that a cute tooth appears and winks at you after you finish the recommended 2 minute brushing cycle. If you end any earlier, the tooth makes a sad face. Makes brushing teeth so fun honestly 😍”

Long battery life
“Best sonic toothbrush i’ve ever used. The battery life is insanely long and I can even check how much battery is left on the screen after each brushing session!
I used a basic electric toothbrush previously and the battery always dies after 1 week. I got fed up and just used it as a regular toothbrush instead LOL. But with this new toothbrush, I can even check the remaining battery percentage.
Really good deal because this bundle comes with the UV sanitizer as well!”

Top-of-the-line toothbrush technology
“For the first time I own a smart toothbrush from the Oral B io9 series! 😁 I bought this brush for a cheaper price but with the downside of being in Chinese characters but luckily English is available. I have confirmed it is a 100% legit product from Oral B.
Now brushing is more fun and exciting at the edge of high technology since brushing can be monitored via Bluetooth connectivity with your smartphone.
The box comes with a smart brush unit, a magnetic charger, a travel case charger, 2 spare brushes with casing, and a manual. I also received a tri-plug adapter as a freebie.”
-Mr. Mario J, Lazada Review
Creme de la creme of toothbrushes
“Wow, this is the creme de la creme of toothbrushes. So many features, I am not sure where to even start. You can either get “coaching” from the lights positioned on the base to represent the mouth (they will change colour and blink when you’ve completed a section) or in the app in a similar manner. 7 cleaning modes, but I’ll be honest I mostly switch between daily and whitening. The brush heads included are a perfect medium bristle that I feel like I’m cleaning but not hurting my gums and teeth. I am definitely brushing longer with it now since it’s guiding me along. It takes a little over 2 mins to complete. And my mouth feels awesome after. I have a feeling at my next dental cleaning I will not hear about missing the insides of my teeth again. Love it!”
-Mr. Derek B, Oral-B Website

Teeth that feel so clean afterwards
“I like the DiamondClean Smart electric toothbrush. My teeth feel so much cleaner than any other tooth brush I’ve ever used. I also like the program from Phillips that I downloaded to my smartphone.”
A step up from regular brushing
“I have been a Sonicare user for several years now. Before using the Diamond Clean Smart 9300, I owned its predecessor – the Diamond Clean. I received a free sample of the Diamond Clean Smart 9300 in exchange for my honest opinion. This toothbrush is a step forward in the right direction for Sonicare. The Diamond Clean Smart has four cleaning modes and connects to the Sonicare app through Bluetooth. It has a pressure sensor on the bottom which, when used along with the app, allows such feedback as when you are brushing too hard or using too much movement when brushing.”

Matte and sleek design
“Delivery was really fast! Packaging and branding is on point. Love the matte and sleek design, love the pink! I was surprised at how strong it is, when you put it to your teeth, only then do you realise just how much vibration there is!”
-L H, Shopee Review
Suitable for sensitive teeth and gums
“It’s so pretty. It has a gentle mode which is really good. I’ve bought big brand expensive (200$++) toothbrushes before and their gentle mode still feels like it’s knocking my teeth out. So glad that zenyum’s one’s are much gentler.”
