The Best Toothbrush for Your Child

There are so many to choose from. What is the best tooth brush for my child?

We are often asked for “the best” toothbrush recommendation. I have only one toothbrush that I strongly believe will make a difference in the oral health of your child and that is the Sonicare. Sonicare For Kids is specifically designed to help parents teach their child (ages 4-10) to brush, then help them transition their child to independent brushing.
Parents often ask if the “spin” type brushes available in stores at a lower price will do the same thing. The answer is NO. The carefully researched and patented sonic combination of approximately 31,000 brush strokes per minute and the specific reach of the brush head as it sweeps back and forth are what create Sonicare’s unique “beyond the bristles” cleaning action. Most power toothbrushes have either a different stroke frequency or bristle amplitude and do not have the same powerful, yet remarkably gentle fluid activity as Sonicare.

When children come into the practice 99% of the time I am able to identify by looking at their gum tissue and overall dental health whether or not they are Sonicare users. That was a powerful message and solidified for me as a mother and a dentist that the Sonicare for Kids toothbrush IS the best.
