I was having a bit of a nightmare trying to get Aaron (3) to brush his teeth, he would run away, barely open his mouth etc so when I was offered the Oral-B Stages Power Electric Toothbrush to review I was willing to see if this would convince him to brush his teeth.
I have an Oral -B electric toothbrush which I prefer using to a manual one so maybe if he had one like mummy...? All I can say is that once we opened the post that day we have never looked back. Aaron was so excited to try out his new 'Cars' toothbrush that I had to stop him from brushing his teeth several times a day and more!
3 months down the line and we have never had a problem since, in his words the review would be ' I like it'.
It has made brushing his teeth fun for him and much easier for us as parents. The brush head is a good size and soft. He likes the novelty of the brush vibrating in his mouth, I like the fact that the brush buzzes 3 times after a minute so you know when the time is up to stop brushing the top and move onto the bottom. Ideal for the recommended 2 minutes of brushing.
I always feel that I get a better clean from my electric toothbrush (actually the dentist once told me that he could tell I used an electric toothbrush, and I hadn't even mentioned it!) so I do believe that Aaron is getting a better clean without brushing so hard.
The only negative for me is the price, quite expensive for a child's toothbrush and when you factor in the cost of subsequent brush heads - £10.29 for 2.
Inside the starter pack you get
Oral-B Stages Power electric toothbrush- Disney Cars
1 Stages Power Brush head
Charging station
Oral-B Stages Power Electric Toothbrush is suitable for children aged 3 years + and costs £35 (although it is currently on offer for £17.49 from Boots). Also comes in Disney's Princesses design.
We've got the £10 ones from Disney store. They come with 3 heads. You do need to use batteries though. They really have made teeth brushing so much easier
