Better Toothbrushes For Kids

According to an article in the December 2009 issue of Parents magazine, there are toothbrushes to help your child get the hang of brushing their teeth. The article cautions that your child will need supervision to brush properly until about 7 years old. Below are the suggested toothbrushes and prices:


Extra Power:
Every time your child brushes with the Sonicare for Kids, the power lasts a little longer until it hits 2 minutes. 4 years + $70, amazon.com


Super Scrubber:
When Dr. Fresh's Spider-Man Light-Up Toothbrush stops flashing after 60 seconds, move on to the next row of teeth. 3 years + $3, target.com


Double Duty:
The extra-long term of MAM's Training Brush lets you both grasp the handle. 6 months + $4, thesoftlanding.com

A another very important tip for parents is to teach your child to floss their teeth. It is as important as brushing the teeth.
