  • Popped down after work & got one from Cheltenham. I saw about 4 or 5 left by the tills.

    Ta for the heads up :)
    Hmmmmmmm
  • That's a really good price, been meaning to get one of these for ages - thanks!

  • if you talk to any dental hygenist (that isn't sponsored by Philips of course) and ask for their unbias informed opinion on electric toothbrushes, they will tell you a standard mechanical one is better than a sonic one. The sonic ones aren't bad, but they are a gimmick and Bristol University has a comprehensive study on this topic.
  • I am sure that Aldi's had Sonic toothbrushes for sale much cheaper than that last week.

    Well it's sorted out my gum problems, and my dentist (as far as I know not sponsored by Philips) was pleased I'd got one. Is this study on line?

    I've had one for a year or so now and they certainly made my teeth look and feel FAR cleaner than a manual or standard electric toothbrush.

    We have a dentist in the family who is not "sponsored by Philips" or anyone else and he shares a high opinion of them.

    Thanks

    Just as with shavers, I'm sure it's great argument fodder, because it'll be horses for courses. Some people will do better with manual toothbrushes, some with electric, and some with sonic. I happen to like my Sonicare toothbrush, even if I'm at the stage of breaking it apart to replace the batteries.
