Customer Reviews
Love it!,We bought two of these. One for our 7 yr old and one for our 4 yr old. Just to comment on some other reviews on this toothbrush: No child should be left to do his own brushing. They just dont know how to do a good enough job. None of my children have cavities and we do not take flouride. My husband and I brush their teeth every night. My 7 yr old will brush his own teeth in the morning. That is his time to learn how to brush correctly. This toothbrush is wonderful. Both of my children will brush for the full two minutes. They lower level one is only brushing for one minute. In my opinion that is good with starting out with the toothbrush. But kids need to be brushing the full two minutes just like their parents. My four year old can handle this toothbrush wonderful. I think he would have been able to handle this at even three years old. I will not be buying the store bought electric toothbrushes anymore or the manuals. This toothbrush works great and travels great.
Great for older kids, but not fidgety four-year-olds,First, let me say that I LOVE my adult Sonicare toothbrush. When the kids toothbrush came out, I was anxious to get it for my three boys, ages 7, 4, and 4, thinking it would help develop good brushing habits. We gave it to them at Easter. It is now late June, and I wanted to share my experiences and suggestions for improvement. The seven-year-old is doing fine with it, and he uses the “left” side for a gentler brushing. My complaints revolve around my younger boys. For some reason, the Sonicare brushes, at least in our family, generate a LOT of saliva. Even though we do the inside bottom last (where the salivary glands are), we have to make the child hang over the bowl to catch the volumes of drips. For some reason, this is not an issue with manual brushes, nor with other brands of electric toothbrushes. Yes, we only use a tiny dot of toothpaste. The trick is getting a fidgety four-year-old boy to stand still leaning over the sink for the full cycle. One of my boys can’t stand the saliva build-up, and has to spit in between beeps. If I take the brush out of his mouth while it’s still running, then the brush sprays saliva and toothpaste everywhere. If I turn it off, it forgets where it was in the cycle, and it thinks it’s starting all over again, so we lose the built-in programming. On nights when they are extremely tired or grouchy, I can’t do a quick brushing (just to maintain the rule of brushing every night). If I do, then I have to break another rule of going through the whole brushing sequence. Every parent knows that there are times that some things must be compromised (e.g. do I generate a bed time tantrum trying to make an exhausted child stand still for two minutes?) I understand that children should not be allowed to compromise the program. What I’d like to see is a ‘refresh’ button on the device, or a “secret” multi-button push that parents can use to get a shorter cycle. Lacking that, I’d suggest that you keep a manual brush available for those nights when you don’t have the parental stamina to try to make your wiggly child stand still over the bowl for the full cycle. Or, get a drool cup :-) .
No more pleading!,My 8 year old son used to spend all of 15 seconds brushing his teeth. When his dentist recommended the Kids Sonicare (I didn’t know one existed), I thought it was worth a try. This is a great toothbrush for kids. It is expensive, but not when you compare it to the possibility of multiple dentist visits and fillings and more. Plus it makes a cute beep sound that helps the brusher know how much brushing is left to go! A thumbs up for this one.
Cavity Prone Kids NOW want to brush!My youngest son(6)has soft enamel and has been getting cavities since he was 2 years old! A children’s hygenist recommended this toothbrush and said it really helps the kids clean their teeth effectively. Every night and morning it was a fight, including tears, to get him to brush. Now my both kids ask if it is time to brush! They like the timer that tells them when to switch sides, the motion isn’t too much in the automatic toothbrush and they think it is just like the adults toothbrush. I was skeptical but the kids love it. I did buy two because the idea of sharing the same toothbrush base did not work for the 10 year old, and then the youngest child picked the same faceplate as his older brother so we used a sharpie to mark initials on each brush so depending on the ages of your kids you might not be able to share the base. We use our adult Sonicare UV sanitizer case to sanitize the kids brush heads as well. This Sonicare brush is fair superior to the less expensive automatic toothbrush I was giving the kids and they definetly brush longer on their own with no fights!
Great Product,We bought 2 of these for our children and not only have we noticed there teeth are beter taken care of, but they actually have at least a reasonably good time during brushing. The music that plays at intervals helps hem know when to move to the next area and when they are done. Previously we might have goten them to brush for 1 minute tops. Now they continue for the full 2 minutes. Would definitely recommend to others.
a real tooth saver!,This toothbrush has been a real God-send for us. We use it on both our 3 year old daughter and our 2 year old boy (red head for the girl, blue for the boy). Despite diligent manual tooth-brushing, our daughter was having lots of pre-cavity symptoms like discoloration and white spots. After we started using this toothbrush her teeth cleaned right up and her gums look much healthier. The dentist was very pleased with her last check-up.
With our son the problem was a bit different. It took two of us to brush his teeth – one holding him down and the other trying to pry his mouth open and brush. After watching his sister getting brushed with the sonicare, he walked right up and popped his mouth open to be brushed too, and that has continued ever since! We just had his check-up and were told he has excellent oral hygiene.
One of the things that we like best about it is that the 4-7 year old size heads are just the right size, even for our 2 year old (who has been using it since he was 18 months). We had tried the cheaper oral-B electric toothbrushes and though the kids liked the characters on them, the brush heads were so bulky that it was difficult to get on the cheek side of the teeth and the quality of brushing doesn’t even begin to compare to the sonicare. I know one of the reviews complains that the handle is too big, but we have not found that to be so. On the occasions that we let our 2 year old try to do his own teeth, he has no problem with the handle either. We are TOTALLY pleased with this toothbrush. We believe the initial cost and brush replacement costs are more than compensated for in savings at the dentists office.
