What’s the best toothbrush for my child?

Answer: The best toothbrush is one your child enjoys using and that helps them brush effectively twice a day!

Here are a few things to look for:
- Soft bristles to protect growing teeth and gums.
- A small brush head that easily reaches every tooth.
- A comfortable handle that’s easy for little hands (or parents) to hold.

Manual and electric toothbrushes can both do a great job. If your child struggles with brushing or needs a little extra motivation, an electric toothbrush can be a great option as long as it’s used correctly.

Remember, the toothbrush is only part of the equation. Brushing for two minutes, twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and having a parent help or supervise until around ages 7–8 makes the biggest difference!
