Electric toothbrushes for adults and children, mainly sonic models alongside rotating, rotating-oscillating and vibrating brushes. Our range has over 200 models from Philips, Oral-B, Panasonic and Oromed, among others. Most are battery-powered, and many offer several brushing modes and a built-in two-minute timer.
How to choose an electric toothbrush
Brush type. Sonic brushes are the largest group in our range and clean with fast vibrations of the bristles. Rotating and rotating-oscillating brushes use a small round head that turns, and in the oscillating versions it also changes direction. Both approaches clean well when used properly, so comfort and head shape often matter more than the technology.
Brushing modes. Models in our range have anywhere from one to six modes. Daily care is the standard setting, while sensitive, super sensitive, whitening, gum care and deep clean modes appear on some. If you have sensitive gums, a gentler mode is worth having. If you simply want a clean mouth, a single well-made mode is enough.
Timer and pacing. Many brushes in our range have a two-minute timer, which matches the usual dental advice for brushing time. Some also pulse every 30 seconds to remind you to move to the next quarter of your mouth. This helps if you tend to rush or spend too long on the front teeth.
Power source and charging. Most models are battery-powered, and a small number can also run from mains power. Check the charging method and the input voltage on the charger if you plan to travel with the brush. A few chargers are low-voltage and use a DC 5 V supply.
Adult or child. Children's brushes in our range have softer, smaller heads and often simpler settings. Choose by the age range stated on the packaging, since a child's mouth is much smaller than an adult's.

Electric toothbrush FAQ
Is a sonic or a rotating toothbrush better?
Neither is better for everyone. Sonic brushes clean with rapid vibrations, while rotating-oscillating brushes use a round head that spins and changes direction. Try to choose the one whose head shape feels comfortable, because you will brush more thoroughly with a brush you like using.
How long should I brush with an electric toothbrush?
Brush for two minutes, twice a day. Many electric toothbrushes have a timer that tells you when two minutes are up, and some also signal every 30 seconds so you can spread the time evenly across the four quarters of your mouth.
How often should I replace the brush head?
Replace the head about every three months, or sooner if the bristles look frayed. Worn bristles clean less effectively. Always buy heads that are listed as compatible with your specific handle.
Can children use an electric toothbrush?
Yes, children can use one, and our range includes models made for children. These typically have smaller heads and softer bristles. Check the recommended age on the product and supervise younger children while they brush.
