Boots’ ‘so cute’ electric toothbrush parents ‘can’t resist’ that gets kids excited to brush their teeth
The tiger-themed Toby Tiger Electric Toothbrush is part of the WildOnes range, which features eight designs inspired by animals
According to UK dental professionals, parents should start brushing their child's teeth as soon as the first one appears, usually around the six-month mark. However, many mums and dads will be well aware that toddlers can often be reluctant when it comes to toothbrushing.
To make this daily routine less intimidating for little ones, dental experts at brush-baby have developed the Toby Tiger Electric Toothbrush, now stocked in the baby section of Boots. This tiger-themed toothbrush is part of the WildOnes range, boasting eight unique animal designs.
The tiger-emblazoned sonic toothbrush offers two-speed settings and a battery life that can endure up to a month with twice-daily, two-minute brushing sessions. Suitable for children from their first tooth until the age of 10, the WildOnes brush is currently retailing for £27.19 on Boots.com.

The brush head, specifically designed for growing teeth, features patented flossing bristles that effectively target plaque build-up. This kid-friendly electric toothbrush also incorporates a two-minute timer, a 30-second pulse reminder, and colour-changing lights to promote dentist-recommended brushing habits.
Its waterproof design ensures functionality even during bath time, and each brush comes with a universal USB charger and replaceable brush heads. For young animal enthusiasts, there are seven other designs to choose from, including Penguin, Panda, Hippo and Koala.

But when it comes to brush-baby’s Toby Tiger, parents have been singing its praises online, sharing glowing testimonials about the brush-baby. One customer on Boots.com wrote: "My toddler is thrilled, and she is now excited to do her teeth twice a day (and more! ). I especially love the flashing colours on the faster setting!".
Another added: “So cute! Couldn’t resist this brush. Rechargeable and water proof.”
Another testimonial popped up on the brush-baby website with an equally happy parent who called it the ‘best product ever’. They added: “My little boy now loves brushing his teeth, and calls to do it constantly (from having to battle to even get a toothbrush in his mouth this is a massive win! ) he is nearly 2, and is obsessed with his new toothbrush now."
However, an Amazon customer reported difficulties with the charging function of their Tiger brush, lamenting in their review: "We love this toothbrush, but unfortunately, it just seems to have an issue with charging. It goes a long time without needing it but when it does die, the charger doesn't seem to do much."
On the other hand, another parent shared on the brush-baby website how the Toby Tiger model transformed their child's oral hygiene routine for the better: "My toddler, usually a reluctant toothbrusher, was thrilled with his new Toby Tiger - especially since it looks like his favourite soft toy. It's been a game-changer: goodbye tantrums, hello fun toothbrushing!".
