If you’re not sure which toothbrush to use to clean your child’s smile, then you have come to the right blog. Today, our dentist, Dr. Andrea Mason, is happy to discuss the characteristics to look for when choosing your child’s toothbrush. When you choose the right toothbrush, you can properly and effectively clean and care for your child’s smile. So, when you’re at the store, it’s best to select a brush that has the following characteristics:
-American Dental Association approval: The ADA logo proves that the toothbrush is safe and effective. This means that if the toothbrush you choose has this stamp of approval, then you can ensure that it’s the right product for your child’s smile.
-A non-slip grip: This type of grip can help your child clean their teeth without the brush slipping and sliding in their hands. It can also help you clean your child’s teeth if your child is too young to clean their own smile. The non-slip grip can give both you and your child the control you need.
-A motivating design: Sometimes kids dislike cleaning their teeth. Having a fun toothbrush that has their favorite characters on it or even having a kid’s electric toothbrush can make oral hygiene more fun and exciting.
