Toothbrushes

Choose a soft bristle tooth brush with a small head. In general, it is a good idea to replace the toothbrush every 3 months, or after any strep throat or bout of flu.

In addition to the kind and size of the bristles, choose a toothbrush that excites or motivates your child.

For some children it will be a brush based on a favorite character, for others it might be a mechanical powered toothbrush.
