You know the phrase ‘the gift that keeps giving’? An electric toothbrush is one of these gifts: It gives the recipient ultra-clean teeth and more successful trips to the dentist for many months to come. And it’s more fun than using a regular toothbrush.

The technology delivers up to 48,800 movements per minute, while a regular toothbrush can only provide 300 to 600 movements per minute. In addition, the pulsing, oscillating movement breaks down and removes 100% more plaque than a regular toothbrush.

Who Would Love This Gift?

We’ve found electric toothbrushes are excellent gift ideas for those who are hard to buy for, like tweens and teens, who are no longer interested in toys and yearn for more expensive electronic gadgets. It fits the bill perfectly—and your kids won’t know that it’s not expensive! Look for a design with their favourite colour or characters, such as Star Wars^TM or Marvel. There are lots of options for younger kids like Winnie the Pooh, Finding Dory, Cars or princesses.

It’s also a great gift for adults who “have everything.” If your recipient loves fashionable or sophisticated-looking gifts, pick out one of the sleeker models in a different colour or with metallic trim.

Not sure if they already own an electric toothbrush? That’s okay, they can have two as the brush does need to be replaced eventually. Your gift recipient can keep it on hand until that point.

There are apps that can be downloaded for extra gadget fun like the Oral B Disney Magic Timer^TM to help kids brush longer. For adults, some of the electric toothbrush models come with Bluetooth functionality. For example, when you download the Oral B app on your smartphone you’ll receive feedback on brushing skills and reminders.
