Electric Toothbrushes for Kids

For children, age-appropriate head size, soft bristles, supervision and a routine they can tolerate are more important than flashy features.

ADA basics for children

Caregivers should begin brushing when the first tooth erupts and assist or supervise until the child can manage excess toothpaste appropriately. Use a child-sized, soft-bristled brush.

Powered brushes

A powered brush can be easier or more engaging for some children, but comfort, noise, vibration and head size vary.

Triple Bristle Kids

Triple Bristle markets its Kids model for children age 6+ and for people who prefer a smaller head. That age positioning comes from the manufacturer; follow your child’s dentist’s advice.
