Ive been looking but there are so many around its like a minefield, can anyone recommend one to me please?

Thanks.

I have OralB rotary rechargeable

A basic Oral B rechargeable model will do just fine. Models higher up the range have all sorts of things like massage settings and quadrant timers that you really don’t need. The charging stand comes with a 2-pin shaver plug so you will need an adapter if you don’t already have one (unless it says one’s included in the box).

Another vote for OralB.

Lidl Nevadent Sonic £19.98. 3 year warranty and cheap heads that last months. I can't use a rotary as I have a moustache. Loads of different vibration settings, a timer that allows for 30 seconds per zone and a 2 minute shutoff.

i think the 2500 is what i have, more or less always 1/2 price somewhere, charge it up once or twice a week.

hopefully you get one with the newer better batteries. I think that range is the "sweet spot".

the cheaper ones aren't so good motors, and the more expensive ones have same motor, but a lot of bells and whistles, blu tooth etc and other features you probably don't need.

Another vote for the Braun OralB here. We've been using them for years. Brushes aren't cheap but Tesco/Sainsbury regularly have them on offer. It's cheaper per brush if you buy one of the multi-packs.

Compatible brushs at home bargains :D

Re: Electric Toothbrush
 

Compatible brushes almost everywhere - one of the benefits of the Oral-B being so popular.

Am I the only person left using a 'normal' toothbrush?

Re: Electric Toothbrush
 

No you are not.

Re: Electric Toothbrush
 

If you are, doesn't that mean we are all using the 'new normal' toothbrushes, and you are not the 'normal' one? ;)

Re: Electric Toothbrush
 

Well played that man :D

To be honest I've never been normal, and find it odd that dentists (who make their money dealing with bad teeth) are falling over themselves to promote something that will (apparently) reduce their income . . :shrug:

People that lóok after there teeth will have regular check ups and pay extra for treatments:D

Sure you are correct can't claim I have seen them anywhere else I shop .mine you l don't shop widely

Re: Electric Toothbrush
 

I think they hope that you buy the actual toothbrush, and brushes there for RRP rather than "1/2" RRP from Amazon or Boots etc

much like they recommend a certain brand mouthwash, which varies on what stand they have in the foyer, but is always more expensive than in supermarket ;)

I miss the days when my dentist was an actual NHS dentist, rather than a private firm which does NHS. Always used to see the same guy, who is now retired. I remember asking him one time which toothpaste is best, his answer was simply "whichever you like the taste of the most, they all do the same thing and have to be approved"

My father died last year, aged 92, still had most of his teeth intact and in good condition . . . always used a simple toothbrush and tap water ;)

Mind you, he didn't eat a lot of chocolate and sweet stuff, nor did he drink 'fizzy pop' :D

Basic Oral B user here, highly recommended. Been using electric toothbrushes for about 25 years and only ever had to buy two.

I had an electric toothbruth before.... It hurt my gums and didnt do as good as a traditional brush so I finally got rid of it......
