The 10 Best Electric Toothbrushes For Kids

The Philips Sonicare Rechargeable (appx. $40) was designed to not only make this daily task fun for little ones, but to also meet the specific needs of younger mouths. It produces fewer vibrations at the beginning of a cleaning session and increases slowly to ensure comfortable use.

The Oral-B Sparkle and Shine (appx. $50) coaches your child into better oral hygiene habits with a sensor that lights up if too much pressure is applied, while its integrated timer helps ensure the cleaning session lasts the two full minutes recommended by dentists.

The Brush Baby Sonic (appx. $15) introduces infants to this daily task with a pleasant sensation of gentle vibrations that can soothe teething gums. It has an LED light to help parents see inside the mouth, and it comes with two brush head sizes.

The Bruzheez Set (around $20) is a complete dental care station. It comes with a classic sand timer, a cover to protect the head from bacteria, a cup for rinsing, and a base for it all, so children will have no excuse for misplacing any of their teeth-cleaning accessories.

Young superheros can imagine that Spider-Man is swinging through their mouths and removing bacteria with his webs, thanks to the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush (around $7). Even those who aren't thrilled about maintaining an oral hygiene routine may start to warm up to it.

Your offspring can tell plaque to move aside, because the Oral-B Pixar Cars (about $50) is coming through. With a charging station that plugs into the wall, this model will always be ready to go, without needing any expensive and wasteful disposable batteries.

The Gum Crayola (around $5) is a good option for travel use, as it comes with a ventilated cap to help keep it clean in a bag. However, if your child is picky about his or her favorite color, you might want to pass on this one, as you'll be sent a random choice.

With a body that's fully submersible in water, the Aiyabrush Sonic (around $30) can go in the shower, enabling children to knock out two daily tasks at once, which can be a blessing for those with kids who are slow to get going in the mornings. It runs up to 100 days on a full charge.

The hard-shelled heroes your youngsters love to watch fight crime on the streets can also fight germs in their mouths with the Colgate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (around $7). In fact, they'll encourage them via a built-in speaker while they are scrubbing away.

The Seago Sonic (about $18) will greet children with cheerful colors and a cute giraffe image that may encourage them to maintain good oral hygiene. It comes with two spare heads in two sizes, which is very helpful, as replacements for this model can be difficult to find.
