My five-year-old visited the dentist a few weeks ago, and (huge sigh of relief) no cavities! Here’s how we keep his pearly whites…white.
We learned a long time ago that electric toothbrushes are the way to go, and the Philips Sonicare Kid’s Power Toothbrush ($69.99) actually makes brushing fun. Cool sounds let him know when it’s time to move to different sections and a timer (not mom) lets him know when time’s up. I like that it’s rechargeable and how it will grow with my kid–two different power settings and brush heads are included for different ages.
Act Alcohol Free Anticavity Fluoride Rinse ($5.99) tastes like bubble gum and helps prevent cavities. We do a countdown from 10 and then he “blasts off” (spits it out).
DenTek Floss Picks ($2.69) come in bright colors so it’s not so scary going in his mouth. Easy-to-grip handles (with no sharp edges) make it easy clean those hard-to-reach areas.
