In the UK, dentists recommend that parents begin brushing their child's teeth as soon as the first tooth emerges, typically at around six months. However, as many parents can attest, convincing toddlers to brush their teeth can be a challenge.

To make tooth brushing less daunting for little ones, dental experts at brush-baby have created the Toby Tiger Electric Toothbrush - and it's currently available from Boots' baby aisle. Part of the brand's WildOnes range, the tiger is one of eight quirky animal designs.

This tiger-themed sonic toothbrush features two-speed settings and a battery that lasts up to a month with twice-daily, two-minute brushing sessions. Suitable for children from their first tooth up to 10 years old, the WildOnes brush is currently on sale for £27.19 at Boots, down from £33.99. This makes it a cheaper alternative to the Oral B Pro Disney Kids Electric Toothbrush (£25).

As reported by Wales Online, the brush is designed for growing teeth and boasts patented flossing bristles that target plaque in every nook and cranny. The child-friendly electric toothbrush also includes a two-minute timer, a 30-second pulse reminder, and colour-changing lights to encourage kids to adopt dentist-recommended brushing habits.

Its waterproof design ensures it functions 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.

Boots shoppers get an added perk upon purchase as a 50ML tube of children's Applemint Toothpaste is also included, which is perfect for kids aged three and up. Parents are raving about their little ones' brush-baby experiences, flocking to the internet to share how it's transforming tooth-brushing battles into fun.

A glowing five-star review on the Boots website reads: "My toddler is thrilled and she is now excited to do her teeth twice a day (and more!). Especially love the flashing colours on the faster setting."

Someone else commented: "Best product ever. 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 buyer's experience was somewhat dampened by technical woes. They explained: "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 found it revolutionised toothbrushing time, sharing: "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."

You can buy the Toby Tiger WildOnes Electric Toothbrush from Boots here for £27.19. Alternatively, Amazon offers the Oral B Pro Disney Kids Electric Toothbrush for £25, with a choice of Lion King or Frozen themes. Another fun option is the Ordo Squishmallows Kids Cam Electric Toothbrush, currently reduced from £45 to £35 at Argos.
