Where is the cheapest price to buy an electric toothbrush?

[JonnyBoy12]

We all know that electric toothbrushes are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but where is the best place to buy one? As you all know I am currently between jobs, and am on a very low income, so it will have to be a cheap one, I am afraid.

Do any of you have these devices, and if so where can I get one fairly cheaply? I do not mind buying one over the Internet if that would save me anything.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

electric isn't great, but sonic is.. what's your budget?

My dentist said that as long as you use the correct brushing technique manual toothbrushes are fine but you should use a flat oe; not one where the bristles are all different lengths.

Agree sonic ones are fantastic.
Boots are doing offers (1/2 price i think) on Oral B ones at the moment

I wouldn't waste my money on an electric one. Stick to manual and use Dentyl mouthwash from time to time. Does the job for me.

I can't be doing with an electric toothbrush - feels like it's going to knock my teeth out of my head!

as a sort of compromise, you can get ordinary toothbrushes with a built in battery where the head vibrates.

Firstly, "sonic" toothbrushes ARE electric - and there's no evidence that they are better at cleaning than non-sonic. Having said that, Which's Best Buys are currently sonic - not because they clean better, but for other reasons (battery life and price, for example). Secondly, the type that Postdog mentions are not worth buying - no better than a standard brush. And thirdly, electric brushes are often on half-price offer - Waitrose has them at the moment.
Oh, and don't forget that replacement heads are very pricey!

You can get them from around £8 on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co....p=1634&creative=19450
