Should you buy an electric toothbrush this Black Friday?

From tongue scrapers to water flossers, there are plenty of oral hygiene tools you can add to your bathroom cabinet. When looking at upgrades, though, we hear one question more than any others: Are electric toothbrushes worth it?

Whether you’re looking to remove plaque or look after your gums, this is the perfect time of year to test out a new gadget. With electric toothbrush Black Friday deals coming to Philips from the 25th November to the 8th December, you can level up your oral hygiene for less. Find out whether you should go electric in this guide.

Should I buy an electric toothbrush?

 

If you want to improve your brushing habits and oral health, switching to an electric toothbrush this Black Friday is a great idea. The right brush takes the guesswork out of daily oral care, offering consistent performance that’s hard to achieve with a manual brush.

Electric toothbrushes have been found to remove significantly more plaque than manual toothbrushes.¹ They’re also consistently linked to a reduction in gingivitis (a type of gum disease) and fewer cases of bleeding gums, highlighting a clear improvement in oral health.²

In terms of daily brushing, smart electric toothbrushes can also improve your technique. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000, for instance, uses BrushSync technology to adjust pressure and intensity for the most effective clean. You can also connect your toothbrush to the Sonicare app for feedback on your technique and personalised guidance for a deeper clean that removes 10x more plaque in hard-to-reach areas.

Are electric toothbrushes worth it? 

 

Finding an electric toothbrush in the Black Friday sale is more than just a bargain; it’s a long-term investment in your dental hygiene, which is always worth it.

Electric toothbrushes help whiten your teeth, reduce plaque buildup, and prevent gum issues. By maintaining healthier teeth and gums, you’re less likely to need costly dental treatments later on, too, making it a smart move for your money.

What about sustainability? Many models, including Sonicare toothbrushes, come with replaceable brush heads and rechargeable batteries. This reduces waste compared to disposable brushes for more eco-conscious oral care.
