Oral health is an important factor to our overall health , with many of us wanting to achieve a shining smile. However, many of us who use a manual toothbrush may feel as though no matter how well we clean our teeth there doesn’t seem to be any changes. One solution is to switch to an electric toothbrush that can help monitor and guide you through your cleaning routine . However, with many high-end brands coming with hefty price tags, some of us are reluctant to make the investment. Thankfully for those who have been waiting to get a hold of a Oral-B toothbrush, a popular edition has just been given a massive £180 discount. Normally retailing for £280, shoppers can now snap up the Oral-B iO5 Electric Toothbrush in a limited time deal on Amazon.

Using advanced Oral-B technology, this toothbrush is said to remove 100 per cent more plaque than a regular toothbrush, allowing shoppers to get the gleaming smile they deserve. Shoppers will be able to personalise their cleaning experience to meet their specific needs as the brush offers five cleaning modes. This includes daily clean, intense clean, sensitive, super sensitive and whitening. On top of this, the toothbrush comes with a timer so users can make sure they are cleaning their teeth for a correct amount of time. If this wasn’t intuitive enough, the toothbrush also comes with a visible pressure system to make sure users aren’t harming their teeth and gums. The light will shine red for too hard, white for too soft and green for just right. Shoppers can also track their brushing habits by using the AI powered Oral-B app. For those wanting to shop around a bit, Amazon has also dropped the price of the Philips Sonicare 5500 Electric Toothbrush. Normally retailing for £209.99, shoppers can now snap it up for only £84.99. With two brushing modes, this toothbrush is said to be hard on plaque but gentle on your gums. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Ordo Sonic+ Toothbrush & Hydro Sonic Water Flosser for £50. The flosser that comes with the toothbrush offers two cleaning modes and three pressure settings to help remove debris where brushing can’t. Back to the Oral-B iO5 Electric Toothbrush , it currently has a 4.4 star rating from over 3,400 shoppers. The device is also currently one of Amazon’s top choices. One happy shopper said: “I really liked this toothbrush — it felt like I had never brushed my teeth properly before. It’s powerful but still gentle, and it comes with a handy travel case. “The battery lasts a long time, which is great for trips. I also like the tracking feature in the app, though I admit I’m too lazy to follow the timer closely. Overall, a great toothbrush that I’m very happy with.” With another customer writing: “The Oral-B iO5 Electric Toothbrush is the quietest electric toothbrush I’ve ever used, and it delivers an exceptional clean, you truly feel like you’ve just visited the dentist.The toothbrush has excellent battery life and comes with a sleek travel case.” However, they did also add: “However, there are a couple of downsides: older Oral-B brush heads don’t fit this model (though my children use the older brushes, so the heads won’t go to waste), and it only comes with one head. Replacement heads are also pricier than the older ones.” Another customer also grumbled: “Whilst this brush cleans really well, I am very disappointed as it only holds a charge for about 10 days. I travel a lot and now have to lug the charger with me.” Despite this, a five-star reviewer noted: “I am very impressed with this brush. I’ve read the reviews and took most of them with a pinch of salt, but even after a few days use, twice daily, my teeth feel and look much cleaner. The stains from many years of smoking have started to clean up.” With a fifth customer adding: “The toothbrush exceeded my expectations. I’ve used the non-iO models for years but the new model is a game-changer. My teeth have never been whiter or cleaner. I’m a very satisfied customer.” Shoppers can currently save over £180 on the Oral-B iO5 Electric Toothbrush on Amazon.
