1. Oral-B Pro 3000, $149 (UP: $199): Boasting four functions – Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening and Daily Clean – as well as a range of motions, this rechargeable electric toothbrush gets rid of more plaque than an ordinary toothbrush does to leave your teeth clean and gleaming for an ever-radiant smile.
