Oral-B have 50% off all their electric toothbrushes at Boots at the moment.

• Sparkle and shine with Oral-B's electric toothbrushes

I remember reading somewhere that most people who switch to electric toothbrushes never go back to manual. I must admit, I can't imagine going back after finally making the switch a few months ago. My teeth just feel so clean after a brush now.

They are quite pricey though, which is why it's nice to find a sale. At 50% off, it becomes rather more affordable.

Priced from £17.49 for the Oral-B Vitality Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush to £49.99 for the Oral B Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush which comes with three interchangeable heads and a charging station with a built in brush stand.

For children there are the Disney Princess toothbrush or the Disney's Cars toothbrush, each for £17.49. The children's toothbrushes have timers to indicate a minute at the top and a minute at the bottom, and extra soft bristles for gentle care of children's gums.

When I say cheap electric toothbrushes at Boots, I mean they have half price deals on selected Oral B electric toothbrushes for, both, kids and adults.

I remember when electric toothbrushes first came out; we had one and my mum bemoaned about how it would encourage nothing but laziness.

She still holds that view today even though the oral healthcare professionals are of the opinion that electric toothbrushes are the only way you'll really get your teeth clean.

If you’ve ever looked at the price of electric toothbrushes, especially top if the range ones, then you’ll know just how much of a dent buying one will make in your monthly budget - they're certainly not an impulse purchase.

I have a bit of a thing about my teeth and I visit my hygienist every 12 weeks - she's more of a friend than a service provider now - and last year she told me that the run up to Christmas is the perfect time to pick up a quality electric toothbrush for the same price as a cheap electric toothbrush.

She wasn’t wrong then (my hygienist is ace!) and the same is happening again.

Boots aren’t the only place to be offering half price electric toothbrush deals – so have a scout around when you’re out and about – but they are the best place I can link to.

Oral B are considered to be one of the elite and models vary from basic everyday cleaning ones, through to ones that have all sorts of lovely features like deep cleaning, whitening and dentist-like polishing and sensors to tell you when you're brushing too hard.

The prices vary too, but the cheapest and most basic models start at around £15 (that’s the half price price by the way) and goes right up to £89.99 for a top of the range all-singing-all-dancing one (it would normally cost you £179.99!).

The Philips SensiFlex Electric Toothbrush is £10.97 at Amazon at the moment, a 63% saving on the original £30.

• Gleam those pearly whites with the Philips SensiFlex Toothbrush

Since I started using an electric toothbrush, I have become a convert. I am forever recommending it to people now, and honestly, my mouth has never felt so clean before! And I don’t even sell them or have shares in anyone’s company. I just think they’re the best thing ever.

And at 63% off, I think this Philips SensiFlex is a great bargain if you want to try one out for yourself.  This toothbrush has a dual cleaning action brush, which sounds pretty impressive, and apparently it has an ‘active tip’ which targets hard – to – reach plaque (don’t you just love toothbrush jargon!) It also brushes at 15,000 strokes a minute.

It also comes with a standard two-pin plug for use in bathroom plugs worldwide, but for normal three pin plugs, you’d need a converter, which isn’t included (but doesn’t cost much either.)

It lasts for about 25 minutes, which is a good 10 or so brushes, and charges fully again in sixteen hours.

Included is the charger base, which has two built in brush head storage pins for your extras.  There are quite a few really good reviews for this product too.

When I say cheap electric toothbrushes at Boots, I mean they have half price deals right across their ranges.

I remember a time when having an electric toothbrush was considered lazy.

These days though they are considered, by all oral healthcare professionals, to be the only way to really get your teeth clean.

If you've ever looked at the price of electric toothbrushes, especially top if the range ones, then you'll know they're more of an investment than your impulse purchase.

I've just spent rather a lot of money with my oral hygienist and my teeth look and feel amazing, she told me that the run up to Christmas is the perfect time to pick up a quality electric toothbrush for the same price as a cheap electric toothbrush.

She wasn't wrong either (my hygienist is ace!) Boots aren't the only place to be offering half price electric toothbrush deals - so have a scout around when you're out and about - but they are the best place I can link to.

Oral B and Sonicare electric toothbruses are considered to be the elite and they vary from basic everyday cleaning ones, through to ones that have all sorts of lovely features like deep cleaning, whitening and dentist-like polishing.

The prices vary too, but the cheapest and most basic models start at around £14 (that's the half price price by the way) and goes right up to £100 for a top of the range Sonicare electric toothbrush (it would normally cost you £200!).

Happy bright white smiles!
