**Full Disclosure: I received a Sonicare Electric Toothbrush for Kids in exchange for this post. This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.
I would say I put a lot of time and effort in keeping my kids happy and healthy. Both of my boys know that I think it’s important to eat well, see doctors on a regular basis, get your eyes checked, etc. But the one thing I’m ultra finicky about is dental care. My dad has horrible teeth and I have inherited that trait which means my boys will likely have bad teeth, too. I take them to their cleaning appointments every six months and, thankfully, neither kid has had a cavity. I supply them with great toothpaste and ‘boring’ toothbrushes. Santa comes along and puts a toothbrush in their stockings each Christmas. This year, Santa is bringing a Sonicare Electric Toothbrush for Kids to my youngest son.
Colin despises the dentist. It doesn’t matter than he’s been twice a year for every year of his life. First he refuses to have the teeth photographed with the x-ray machine. When the hygienist gives up and takes him back to the dental chair, he clamps his lips together and won’t let the dentist look at his teeth. It’s incredibly stressful for all of us. But I can see that he is struggling to effectively get his teeth clean and it’s my job to do something to help him get better. Sonicare toothbrushes remove up to 75% more than a manual toothbrush* and that’s the kind of brush he needs!
About Sonicare Electric Toothbrush for Kids –
As kids learn to brush, our sonic technology does the rest. The unique dynamic action of a Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and along the gum line. With over 500 strokes per second, sonic cleaning power helps compensate for developing techniques as children grow better at brushing.
The Sonicare Electric Toothbrush for Kids costs about $50.00 (replacement heads are about $22) and I think it is worth every penny.
She still has a manual one but it’s probably time to upgrade! This one looks great and what a great brand!
