An electric toothbrush made from sustainable materials has been drawing attention from both dentists and consumers. The SURI Electric Toothbrush, which has earned a 4.9 out of 5 star rating from over 10,000 customer reviews, is currently available at a 25% discount as part of Amazon Prime Day promotions.
Oral health is directly linked to overall health and longevity, according to dental experts. Jaskaren Randhawa, DMD, MPH, founder of SAMA, stated that poor oral hygiene is associated with a higher risk of systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and certain cancers.
The brush heads are made from plant-based cornstarch and the bristles come from castor oil. The body is constructed from recyclable aluminum. The brand is a certified B Corp that aims to reduce waste, as more than four billion toothbrushes end up in landfills or oceans each year.
The toothbrush uses sonic vibrations to break up plaque. It has two settings: a standard clean mode and a gentle mode for sensitive gums. A built-in timer runs for two minutes and pauses every 30 seconds to remind the user to switch to a different section of the mouth.
Users should let the brush do the work and avoid pressing hard. Brush heads should be replaced every three to four months. The brush can be purchased with a UV cleaning travel case that kills 99.9% of bacteria between uses.
The battery lasts about 40 days with daily use. The brush is lightweight and quiet. The current price with the discount is $102, down from the regular price of $135.
Some users have noted that the soft bristles may show wear before the three-month mark. The UV case requires separate charging. There is no smartphone app associated with the device.
Studies have shown that inflammation in the gums can trigger or worsen systemic health issues. Tooth loss has been linked to reduced longevity. The oral microbiome also plays a role in gut health, digestion, and mental well-being.
The SURI Electric Toothbrush is designed to make daily oral care routines easier to maintain. The brush is available in several pastel colors and comes with a sleek, modern design.
