Electric toothbrushes have many advantages over manual toothbrushes, such as more effective plaque removal, especially in hard-to-reach areas. They are also better for gum health and help prevent gum disease and recession.
Boots offers a wide range of them, including the popular Oral-B iO 3, the price of which has been reduced. The black model now costs £75, down from £160 – this is cheaper than getting it from Oral-B direct (£106).
It has a dentist-inspired round brush head combined with micro-vibrating bristles for a professional clean feel at home. It is also designed with a sensor that works to prevent you from brushing either too hard or too soft to better protect your gums.
As it’s important to replace a toothbrush head regularly, you can also get the Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean Black Replacement Electric Toothbrush Heads 4 Pack, available for £54 from Boots. The toothbrush has a rating of 4.7 from 4936 reviews.
One happy shopper wrote: “Delighted with my toothbrush, I feel it really cleans your teeth. And with the timer you know when to move to different parts of the mouth.”
“Great toothbrush, teeth feel so clean after using it and great value for money,” added another, while a third wrote: “It was recommended by my dentist and although on the expensive side it’s very good. Not too sticky on the gums and stays charged for a while – the case is useful too.”
