Product review: Electric toothbrush, full-contour zirconia, transilluminator

Goby electric toothbrush

I check social media way too often—always pulling down to refresh, have to see what’s new. During the past couple of years, I have noticed a toothbrush company that uses social media to market to the public. The company markets an “affordable electric toothbrush.” It has one of those hip one-word names. What surprised me about this “affordable electric toothbrush” was that it actually runs off of a couple of disposable batteries. That is not an electric toothbrush. That is a manual brush that makes noise. A real affordable electric toothbrush is Goby. Yes, Goby also has a cool one-word name . . . but this company is the real deal.

Goby is a rechargeable, electric-powered toothbrush, much like some of the more expensive ones on the market, and it can hold a charge for up to two weeks. It has a circular, oscillating brush head. As with any good toothbrush, the bristles are soft, polished, and end rounded for consistent plaque removal and gingival safety.

Goby is available in five different colors. The colored section of each toothbrush is rubberized to give the user a slip-proof grip. The all-black toothbrush is Goby’s best-selling brush. In fact, it sells so well that Goby charges $10 more for it, and it is still the best seller!
