Can you believe I am 33 years old and have never had a cavity? Poor hubby, however, isn’t so lucky. We are raising our kids to know all about oral health, so when we had the chance to check out the kids’ Sonicare toothbrush, I was beyond excited!
DID YOU KNOW?
American children miss more school days each year due to dental related problems than any other two diseases combined.
THE FACTS:
Philips Sonicare, the number-one power toothbrush brand recommended by U.S. dental professionals for adults is introducing its first-ever Sonicare developed for kids Philips Sonicare For Kids is a power toothbrush specifically designed for parents to teach children to brush effectively and then transition them to independent brushing – delivering exceptional results at every phase of oral development from 4 -10 years of age.
Using proven, patented sonic technology from the number one recommended power toothbrush brand by U.S. dental professionals for adults, it removes more plaque than a children’s manual toothbrush
- Sonicare For Kids is clinically proven to remove up to 75 percent more plaque in hard-to-reach areas than a children’s manual toothbrush in children ages seven to ten
- In clinical studies, children ages seven to ten brushed significantly longer with Sonicare For Kids than with the Oral-B® Stages ‘4’ manual toothbrush and demonstrated significantly better brushing performance than with a children’s battery toothbrush
Philips Sonicare For Kids features custom modes (60 and 40 percent less powerful than Sonicare FlexCare) for different phases of development to ensure a gentle, yet effective clean
- Low mode – For children ages 4 – 7
- High mode – For children ages 7 – 10
Philips Sonicare For Kids features unique design that encourages interdependence
- Ergonomic handle fits easily in child’s hand
- Two gripping locations for training with an adult and independent brushing
- Easy-to-find on/off button makes it simple to locate and press
- Anti-roll feature allows for easy toothpaste application
- Interchangeable front design panels so kids can change the look of their brush
- Age-appropriate brush heads, available in two sizes, help accommodate children’s development
When we received this, Tucker wanted to choose the design panel that he wanted. I love this idea! The kids can basically customize their toothbrush when they want. It comes with 3 design panels so they can change when they want. So much fun!
When Tucker brushes his teeth, the Sonicare beeps at him to move to another section of his mouth. You can hear it in the video below.
- Philips Sonicare For Kids Features KidPacer® technology with fun musical tones that indicate when it’s time to move to the next quadrant of the mouth
- Philips Sonicare For Kids features a KidTimer® to help kids reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time by progressively increasing time over 90 days

I love the overall look and feel of the Philips Sonicare For Kids. It fits perfectly in small hands and the grip is great so it wont slide out easy from their little hands.
Not only is the Philips Sonicare For Kids great for teaching them about teeth care, but it is fun for the kids to use. The Philips Sonicare For Kids, in my opinion, really seems to spark that interest for the kids to brush their teeth. It is fun for Tucker now instead of a regular toothbrush.
Sonicare For Kids is available now at www.philips.com/store or for pre-sale at Amazon.com or Target.com and will be available at Target stores in October. The suggested retail price is $69.99. For more information, visit www.sonicare.com.

My little one has had a cavity filling experience before, so I encourage her to brush enough to avoid having to go through that again. I also brush with her and we hum happy birthday a couple of times, so we know when we’ve brushed long enough.
If they see me doing it they do it
