It is possible to share an electric toothbrushWith an electric toothbrush, the brush heads (the bit with the bristles) are designed to be removed from the brush handle and replaced. Now it's ok to be sharing a toothbrush with multiple people! This is of course not the case with a manual brush.
First thing to do is check that the power outlet you are using is working as it should. If it's attached to a bathroom cabinet, for example, the light switch on the cabinet may need to be switched on to power the socket. Make sure you are not charging the toothbrush on a metal surface.
How do I know when my Oral B toothbrush is fully charged? If the charging indicator is green and not blinking, the toothbrush is fully charged. Then it is advised to unplug the charger for your safety.

Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes to help keep your teeth and mouth healthy. Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth if you don't brush them properly. It contributes to gum disease and tooth decay. Tooth brushing stops plaque building up.
Inspect the brush head and handle individually and thoroughly. You are most likely to find gunk on the (moist) surfaces that the brush head and charger connect. The handle is usually full of bacteria from holding the toothbrush, but also from the toothpaste that gathers during brushing.
From the moment the brush is turned on, a built-in timer is activated. At the end of the 2 minute cleaning cycle, the motor in the brush pauses and restarts briefly three times. This pausing of the brush motor causes the brushing sensation to change as well as the sound of the brush.
What is the difference between the brushes in the Oral-B iO Series? The Oral-B iO9 is the very best of Oral-B brushes. The iO7 has five brushing modes and the iO8 has six, but the iO9 features seven brushing modes for the most superior clean. Finally, the full colour screen is only available on the iO8 and iO9.
And you can finish by brushing your tongue by starting near the back and brushing towards the tip. Electric toothbrushes have a two minute timer, which should be enough to brush all your teeth, but if you need longer to make sure you've brushed each individual tooth well, that's fine.
In most cases, an electric toothbrush is charged by sitting the brush handle onto a charging stand. The charging stand will normally come provided with the brush.
Despite claiming Sonicare win this category, Oral-B tends to offer more features on cheaper brush handles. Most Sonicare brushes have 1-2 cleaning modes unless you go up to the most premium model which offers 3-5; whereas Oral-B has 1-4 modes until the most premium models that offer 5-6 modes.
We recommend using an Oral-B Electric Toothbrush to ensure that you are doing your personal best at brushing. They are more effective at removing plaque than standard brushes, and they come with two-minute timers. Brushing for two minutes—twice daily—helps remove the plaque and bacteria that can result in bad breath.

- Runner-up. Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100. A quieter brush.
