I am the first person to admit that I have a “thing” about oral hygiene. I have been this way for what seems like forever and last year when I reviewed the Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum it was like a dream come true. My teeth never felt cleaner; my gums, more healthy. So you can imagine how great it was to receive the new Sonicare For Kids rechargeable electric toothbrush for my kids to try. I am paranoid that they will develop dental issues like I have and will do anything to prevent that. The tooth fairy brought me a hygiene hero in the form of the Sonicare For Kids power toothbrush.
Let me first tell you about this little electric gem. The Sonicare For Kids toothbrush is designed for children ages 4 and older. This is an ideal age because children are starting to assert their independence and want to do everything on their own. As a parent I do not want to let them do everything, particularly brushing their teeth, on their own. The Sonicare For Kids gave me some peace of mind knowing that even if my kids were not paying as much attention to brushing as they should, the actual brush itself was doing that for them.
The Sonicare For Kids has an ergonomic grip design to the handle which makes it easy for the little ones to hold or comfy for parents, when they are assisting with clean up (cause you know we will). The part that my son William loved was that he was able to choose a pattern for his brush! The kit comes with a sheet of handle covers and stickers so your child can customize their own brush. You can see William is quite happy with his choice.
The Sonicare For Kids is designed to encourage healthy brushing habits that will net you excellent results. Philips has not forgotten they are dealing with kids here because they have even added a little music! The Sonicare For Kids alerts you when it is time to change to brushing the next part, or quarter, of your mouth to ensure that all of your teeth get cleaned. In order to adjust to using an electric toothbrush the brush gradually increases the power over the course of 14 cleanings until it reaches the appropriate brushing time of two minutes (when set to high). For the more apprehensive child you can set the brush to the low mode for brushing for one minute. I found this feature proved it’s worth for William, who is five. He was excited and nervous to use the Sonicare For Kids so having an option on the timing was perfect to ease him into this new routine.
I can honestly tell you that I am excited and happy to have my kids on the same cleaning system that I use for our teeth. I will probably never stop worrying about their health, oral or otherwise, but with Philips Sonicare For Kids in our corner I know that I have provided them with the best rechargeable electric toothbrush there is. Score one for Mama. 🙂
Are your kids good at brushing their own teeth? Do you “assist” them?

It’s so cool how brands have expanded to Kids! I like the idea of the stickers .. kids love stickers and this will help them to actually want to brush their teeth.
Very cool! Once my son get a bit older then it will be perfect for him 🙂
The kids love it because it makes brushing fun!
I have been using Sonicare for a long time now and glad to see them market to children!
The sonicare is more effective. It also has a kid friendly look that they would love.
This is so nice and cute! I’m sure the kids will love brushing teeth after owning this!
The toothbrush design is just to cute. It really has a pull on kids to use it to brush and keep their teeth healthy.
I love that you can put stickers on it!! I want one!
We also go electric toothbrushes for the girls to make toothbrushing more fun. They did okay with a regular tooth brush, but they we’re brushing long enough.
And the fact that the toothbrush appears so cool and attractive to kids —- parents will no longer have a problem of dragging their kiddos in the sink to clean their teeth.
That is what I love about it Enzo..
This looks like a great little brush with a lot of kid-friendly features.
When I was a little girl, I enjoy brushing my teeth with electric tooth brush.
Sonicare is a great and reliable brand that makes playtime with a purpose.
Prefect way to describe it Chel!
My son loves this toothbrush. He’s 2 (it’s not recommended until they are 4) but I find that it wasn’t until I used this brush that he actually WANTS to brush every day. It’s like a game and he looks so proud when he uses it.
I bet your kid must be excited to use the brush… great idea to use cartoons to attract and entice kids to brush their teeth- a must-have habits everyone must adopt!
I don;t have one of these but I can tell you that my dentist and the kid’s dentist recommends these kinds of brushes. That tells me something.
Excellent for kids, really and electric! Brushing with an electric toothbrush can give positive results. I think, there’s for adults too. Fernando Ceballos Lachica
Great for kids and parents too! Anything that can help kids learn how important oral hygiene and looking after their teeth is, get’s my support. Thanks Stephen
It is the best toothbrush I have ever come across..
These look so cool Suz! It’s great how the kids can choose their own stickers. I hope we get these in the UK as I would be very interested in getting my kids one each.
This is so kida friendly product, kids love to brush their teeth again and again lol
Wow this product is making a mundane job like brushing of teeth fun for kids..that’s awesome.
My son just got one of these types of brushes. He decorated it himself and it makes brushing fun. He loves the motorized brushes.
Omgosh are these the cutest darn things ever? My kids would LOVE these. I am going to have to check them out!
when i have kids, they’ll be using electric toothbrushes XD
That’s great!
My pre-schooler would love to have this toothbrush.. he will be so curious and ask me to buy one for him.
They are super popular with the little ones..
Wow, brushing seems like so much fun with this device. My kids would definitely fall in love with Sonicare! Brushing would be no more a tedious procedure for them!
Yes that is exactly what Sonicare will make happen..
It’s so cool! They even have stickers for the kids and I think these ease up the job of making them brushing their teeth. LOL!!
My kids always need assistance when brushing their teeth but they love to swish with the listerine after. I have a sonicare and LOVE it. My children will be getting their own for christmas.
That’s great Anna!
My 5 year old is awesome at cleaning his teeth and loves going to the dentist. We are blessed! He has one of these toothbrushes. 🙂
sonicare sounds much more effective than the standard brush,thanks for the review !!
Making it fun helps get the job done right !
