You can buy an individual toothbrush or get a starter kit. The less expensive models are made from plastic, and the more expensive ones are made of metal. Essentially, it’s a reusable dental floss dispenser with a retractable top that clicks open and closed with the press of a thumb.Įach Quip item is also available for a one-time purchase without a refill plan. The flossing tool is also sleek with a compact design. However, the cap can be placed upside down on a flat surface for upright countertop storage. It has an adhesive strip that’s supposed to stick to a wall or mirror for at-home storage, but mine kept falling off. The Quip toothbrush comes with a long plastic cap, which acts as both a brush head protector and a holder. As with most toothbrushes, Quip brush heads are supposed to be replaced every three months, and that’s about how long the battery lasts, too. Inside the toothbrush is an included AAA battery. The replaceable brush head comes off by pulling it while applying a little bit of pressure on the seam. While this isn’t typically at the top of the list of toothbrush traits, I have to admit it’s a plus for me. ![]() With an almost Instagrammable appearance, the product definitely has a cool factor. ![]() This toothbrush is about 7.5 inches long and nearly half an inch in diameter. Unlike many battery-operated toothbrushes, the slim product is roughly the size of a manual toothbrush. The Electric Toothbrush from Quip has a sleek and compact design. Especially because it sends replacement heads and toothpaste every 3 months.Verywell Health / Theresa Holland Design: Sleek and compact If you are looking for something that is similar to a manual toothbrush, then this is a great option. In Summary:Īs an electric toothbrush, we are not recommending it to replace a Sonicare or Oral B. Overall, Benjamin Turnwald Dentistry decided it is basically a fancy regular manual toothbrush. On the other end of the toothbrush head, there is a rubber tongue cleaner, but it doesn’t seem to do much in helping scrape the goo from the top of the tongue. Some people enjoy this and others do not. The bristles are a mix of rubber and standard bristles. In general, the electric toothbrushes on the market vibrate the bristle part as well, the Quip DOES NOT. The vibrating motion only seems to happen in the handle, and not so much in the brush head.Īs dental professionals, we love when the toothbrush head also vibrates because it better stimulates and cleans the gum tissue. They are marketing the Quip as an electric toothbrush, and it does vibrate, but at home when brushing your teeth you still need to use mechanical back and forth strokes to properly remove all the plaque and tartar. (Again, from our own personal experience) ![]() It also comes in many colors so you can accessorize the toothbrush to your bathroom wall color. It only costs $25! The subscription is an additional charge (about $10), and arrives every 3 months. It is also battery powered, which means it does not need any charging. It comes with a very slim holder that is adhesive and can hang on the wall or bathroom mirror and it isn’t very cumberson. What is also nice about the Quip is the design of how it is stored in the bathroom. The toothpaste is also fluoride based, and does not have a powerful mint flavor. Something similar to Amazon’s “subscribe and save.” We love this as a dental professional since it is hard in our busy lives to remember to change our toothbrushes out! The toothbrush heads are delivered to you every 3 months, as well as the toothpaste if you choose this option. ![]() What originally drew us to the Quip toothbrush, besides how cool it looked, was its subscription option that will automatically send you toothbrush head replacements and/or toothpaste. Many of our patients have been asking about it, so we thought we would write about it in our blog! Well, the time has come and the newest and hottest electric toothbrush has landed in the stores and it is called Quip. The most stylish toothbrush has arrived! It has been many years since a new electric toothbrush has hit the market. Published NovemLast updated October 3, 2019
