February is National Children’s Dental Health Month so now is the perfect time to ensure that you are doing everything you can for you children’s dental health. When it comes to brushing and going to the dentist for my kids I can be pretty hardcore. They started going to the dentist at 12 months and I have been brushing their teeth since they got their very first tooth. Neither of them complain about brushing their teeth since it is just always been a part of their daily routine. Both are really great about it. My 5 year old had been asking for an power toothbrush for a while now but I was not really sure if she was old enough until I learned that Philips Sonicare makes one for children that are 4+ years old.
This new Philips Sonicare for Kids power toothbrush has over 500 brushstrokes per second and sonic cleaning power all to help your child’s needs to achieve a healthy smile as their brushing skills develop. What truly had me sold is that this brush removes up to 75% more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
To get kids really excited they get to pick the sticker that goes on the replaceable front panel. It also has a sticker sheet so that they can really decorate it the way they want to. Plenty of “cool” choices to pick from. I am not to sure if it is even cool to say cool any more or maybe I am too old to say it!
For wiggle-worms who can?t bear to sit through a full two minutes of brushing, the KidTimer can be adjusted to ?low mode? which slowly teaches children to brush for just a little longer each time, slowly introducing them to the full two minutes of brushing. At the end, kids can look forward to hearing a congratulatory song declaring their brushing complete!
There are two different power levels so you can choose the one that is best for your kid.
It comes with a regular brush head but you can purchase compact brush heads that suit younger brushers that are over the age of 4. Here is a picture of the regular and compact brush heads side by side.
The best part is that my daughter immediately took to this brush. She absolutely loves it and you would think I bought her a big Christmas present with how excited she is to use it every night!
She can reach all her back teeth all by herself and she knows to rotate positions based on the buzzing of the brush. Which ensures each quadrant of the mouth
is properly attended to via a KidPacer, which provides a short series of
tones to alert the brusher to move to the next section of their mouth
so no teeth are left behind! I can’t possibly think of anything that could improve this brush!
My only problem is that my 2 year old is now extremely jealous of her big sister’s new toothbrush. Sometimes being the baby sister can be tough! With the new Philips Sonicare For Kids,
you can rest easy knowing your child is getting a dental-professional
approved clean ? as “91% of dental professionals would recommend Philips
Sonicare for Kids for their own child.”
