According to a recent survey by Colgate, teeth are the first thing women notice when they look in the mirror.
And with 29% saying they’d rather have whiter teeth than better skin or shinier hair, it’s clear we’re a nation obsessed with pearly-white gnashers.
While whitening treatments will work to banish deep-set stains caused by coffee or smoking, simply upgrading your toothbrush from a manual to an electric can make a real difference. So what better way to make the most of #WorldSmileDay?

The lovely folk at Oral-B are celebrating by offering up to 50% off selected products for the whole family. There are plenty of great bargains to be had (Power Kids Electric Toothbrushes are now less than £18) but our pick of the bunch is the brand new and super high-tech Oral-B Genius X with Artificial Intelligence, now £169.99 instead of £340.
How can a toothbrush use artificial intelligence we hear you ask? After research revealed 80% of people miss an area of their mouth when brushing their teeth (which can lead to serious dental issues in the future – fillings, no thank you!) Oral-B set to work finding a solution. The Genius X brush links to an app on your phone to track where you’re actually brushing (and not brushing enough) to generate personalised feedback.
After brushing you’re given a score out of 100% (it’s strangely competitive) taking into account how long you brush for, whether you press too hard (which can harm your gums) and whether you’re covering every tooth.
