It’s the ideal time to pick up electronics, as devices are marked down - keep your eyes peeled for discounts on 2021 models, which are often discounted for clearance but still work terrifically well. One of the biggest sellers every year are electric toothbrushes. Here’s what to look out for.
What are electric toothbrushes, and what are sonic toothbrushes?
An electric toothbrush takes the labour out of brushing your teeth, making it simpler to keep your chompers healthy, glistening and white than a manual brush.
There are two main types of electric toothbrushes.
Oscillating models, such as those in Oral-B’s range, have round heads that rotate to sweep plaque from your teeth and gums.
Sonic toothbrushes, by contrast, have diamond-shaped heads that vibrate rapidly from side to side to drive bacteria out of every nook and cranny. Philips is the brand leader for sonic style toothbrushes.
Both types be very effective at cleaning, but sonics tend to be more expensive.
