Children can start to use electric toothbrush from 2 years old accompany by their parents. Some dentist may recommend children to use electric toothbrush from the age of 6 and 8 since at this age kids can more easy to handle it.
For most families, however, a child is ready for an electric toothbrush when he or she asks for it—when he sees a parent using one and asks for his own, for example. Turning brushing into a family activity can certainly facilitate this process, just be sure to keep the glass cleaner and paper towels handy, as it can quickly turn into a messy affair.
Typically, parents are usually willing to buy a higher quality toothbrush for themselves than for their children, but that is the wrong approach. You want the same quality of toothbrush for your child that you have for yourself, primarily because lower quality toothbrushes may lead to an abrasive toothbrush head that can damage the enamel on a child’s still-developing teeth.When evaluating as electric toothbrush, here are four things to consider:
1. Plaque removal: The key job of any toothbrush is to remove plaque from teeth and gums, and a high-quality toothbrush will remove plaque consistently and from all areas of the mouth. By using a plaque score—which compares the levels of plaque a patient has between appointments—as well as the personal feel of the mouth after brushing, a dentist can easily determine how well a chosen toothbrush is attacking plaque.
Removing plaque is especially important in the prevention of cavity formation. Americans, especially those eating a Western diet filled with refined carbohydrates, have thick plaque layers which sit on top of the “biofilm,” which is the protective layer referred to as “the skin of our teeth.” The biofilm is what nourishes the tooth, keeping it moist and supplied with calcium. With too much plaque on top of the biofilm, the tooth struggles to access the nutrients it needs, thus leading to cavities and decay.
2. Head shape and size: Head shape and size are important in accessing hard-to-reach areas, such as between the cheeks and molars. This is extremely important for kids, whose mouths are small and still developing.
3. Quality of bristles: Whenever possible, I recommend replacing the toothbrush head every month to ensure that bristles don’t become worn and wear away the enamel. With high-quality toothbrushes, this should happen at least every three months, but with lower quality bristles, the process may need to occur more frequently. Bristles make contact with the tooth, and a bristle made of cheaper material will wear down quickly and become too sharp, scratching the enamel.
4. Power source: A quality kids’ electric toothbrush should be rechargeable, not battery powered. In my experience, the battery-powered toothbrushes that can be purchased at the supermarket are not high quality, and there is no need to worry about the charging bases of electric toothbrushes, as they are completely safe for kids to be around.
For most kids, I recommend our WF-1042 Kids Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with music. It’s rechargeable with a small, soft head and high-quality bristles. It also has a larger grip, so it’s easy for kids to hold and use, and the oscillating, round head motion is more comfortable for kids than the sonic variety. Finally, it’s as effective at removing plaque as any other toothbrush on the market.
