šŖ„Should your child be using a manual toothbrush or an electric toothbrush?
Here's our take:
Electric toothbrushes are great tools to support good dental health since they can remove plaque better than a manual toothbrush.
There is a reason that electric toothbrushes are designed like the tools we use in the dental clinic. They work!
However, we recommend waiting until your child is 3 years old to regularly use an electric toothbrush with the supervision of an adult.ā
Electric toothbrushes are also fun to use and can help kids enjoy brushing their teeth!ā
You can even make tooth brushing a fun family moment until your child is capable of brushing independently.

Are you team 'manual' or 'electric' toothbrush?ā
