I hear you on the noise issue—my nephew hated the electric toothbrush at first too. Honestly, half the time it sounded more like a power tool than a toothbrush. We ended up sticking with manual for a while. I’d double-check his teeth after he brushed, just to make sure nothing was missed. It’s not perfect, but he didn’t dread brushing anymore, and honestly, that’s a win in my book. Maybe when they’re older and less sensitive to noise we’ll try electric again... for now, whatever gets the job done without drama is fine by me.

I get where you’re coming from—less drama definitely makes life easier. Still, I do think there’s something to be said for sticking with electric, even if it takes a bit of getting used to. My niece was super sensitive to the buzzing at first, but after a few weeks (and switching to a quieter model), she started to like it. The timer and oscillation really helped her reach spots she’d always miss with a manual. Not saying it’s a must for everyone, but sometimes a little persistence pays off in the long run.
