Electric toothbrushes

6 replies

DH is having major problems as a result of a mouth full of fillings and no brushing as a child. Think we need to get the DCs electric toothbrushes with 2 minute timers but do we need 5 chargers between us? Any recommendations?

TIA

We have one electirc toothbrush for me and dh and another for dd and ds - we all have our own brushheads obviously Our one is a Braun professional care and is a good one that does a little buzz every 30 seconds to remind children to brush different parts of their mouth. it then does a longer buzz after 2 mins.

Thanks. Will look out for those.

tbh we have a braun and it's great but you only find out after you buy it that the brushheads are super expensive

last time I was out I bought the kids two battery-operated ones with cartoon characters on from the home bargains shop

found it much more effective because with a family of four we found that we were queuing for the damn toothbrush of a morning

and the toothbrushes themselves all in were cheaper than the individual brushheads, which are a hell of a con imo

Yep the brush heads are expensive - we stock up when we find them on special offer. I've tried cheaper brushes but find the Braun so much better that its worth the extra money.

Braun brusheads are £12 for 4

You can definately get them cheaper than that. Wilkos sell them for about 7 or 8 quid iirc.
