power toothbrush

Motorized dental scrubber

A power toothbrush is an electric toothbrush—one with a motor that moves the bristles automatically.

The term distinguishes it from manual toothbrushes and appears frequently in dental recommendations and product marketing: Dentists often recommend a power toothbrush for better plaque removal.
