Prime Day Electric Toothbrush deals

Our pearly whites are high maintenance – they need daily cleaning and manual brushing doesn't quite cut it. Extensive research shows that using an electric toothbrush will help you remove more plaque from your teeth while helping you keep on top of gum health too.

The best electric toothbrushes cost a pretty penny, though, so if you can pick them up when there's massive price drops, you should definitely make the upgrade. Amazon's Prime Day sale is one those times, and this October sale is seeing whopping discounts on brushes from the two top brands – Philips and Oral-B.

The former specialises in sonic brushes – hence the name Sonicare for Philips' offerings. That means they're quieter and gentler compared to oscillating electric brushes, which is what Oral-B makes. Both are great options but people with sensitive teeth might want to consider using sonic brushes.

If you're not already using an electric toothbrush, there's never been a better time to switch, with up to 53% off on Philips Sonicare and up to 66% off Oral-B electric toothbrushes. If you're already using an electric toothbrush but want to upgrade, below are the best deals to make switching up much more affordable. Failing that, they also make great holiday gifts!
