Kids Electric Toothbrush buying guide
A toothbrush that looks like a toy
Getting kids to brush can be a daily battle. This electric toothbrush tries to make it more like play. It is pink, with a cute cartoon dinosaur design and a U-shaped mouthpiece.
How a U-shaped brush works
Instead of a regular brush head, this toothbrush has a mouthpiece shaped like a U. It is a sonic brush, which means it vibrates quickly. The maker calls it a 360 degree brush because of the U shape.
Your child bites gently on the mouthpiece while it runs. Follow the instructions that come with the brush to move it around the mouth.
Three modes
The brush has three modes. Each one runs at a different vibration speed:
- Cleaning mode: the fastest speed, for everyday brushing
- Massage mode: a middle speed with gentle pulses
- Gentle mode: the slowest speed
Start on the slowest mode if your child is new to electric brushes. Move up when they are used to the feel.
A built-in timer
A built-in auto timer runs for 45 seconds. Your child knows when the time is up without watching a clock. Ask your dental professional how long your child should brush each time.
Made for small hands
The body is soft silicone. It is comfortable for kids to hold, and the maker describes it as drop-resistant.
The maker gives it an IPX7 water rating. That means it can be rinsed under the tap, and the maker says it can be used in the shower. Rinse it after use and let it dry.
Good brushing habits
An electric brush does not replace your help. Some simple habits:
- brush with your child and help them until they can do it well alone
- use a small amount of children's toothpaste
- give each child their own brush
- keep it upright in a dry spot after use
If you are not sure a U-shaped brush suits your child, ask your dental professional before ordering.

Check whether the mouthpiece is suitable
A U-shaped children's toothbrush uses a different head shape from a regular brush. Look at the size photo in the gallery and compare it with your child's mouth. If you are unsure how it fits into your child's brushing routine, ask your dental professional for advice before ordering.
