Christmas is full of traditions. Although we have created some new traditions for our own family, some, like certain items appearing in the stocking, are traditions that I grew up with. Each year I could expect a Christmas orange, gold coins (usually chocolate) and a brand new toothbrush in my stocking and now my kids share in the same tradition. We found some fabulous toothbrush related items you can tuck into the stocking this year.
| Sonic Kids Rechargables |
Getting kids to brush for the recommended 2-minutes can prove challenging. The Sonic Kids Rechargeable KidTimer slowly builds brushing duration over 90 days, easing them into a longer brushing routine. The interchangeable front plates, age-appropriate brush heads, and KidPacer tunes will keep them brushing each day.
| DiamondClean Mini Brush Head |
If you’re like our family and have one main toothbrush with multiple heads, perhaps it’s time for a new brush head. The DiamondClean mini brush offers the same diamond-shaped bristles to sweep plaque away as the standard brush head, but it’s more compact to reach harder to clean and smaller areas.
| Toothtunes |
It’s amazing how time passes when music is playing. We listen to it when working and cleaning, why not when brushing. Arm & Hammer’s ToothTunes encourages kids to keep brushing with the help of some of their favourite songs. To hear the song, just start brushing and the music doesn’t stop until the 2-minutes are up. Now if only they made these in adult sizes.
| Green Apple Floride-Free Toothpaste |
If you’re looking for a flouride-free toothpaste to introduce to your young kids, Green Beaver has 5 different flavours, including frosted mint, green apple, zesty orange, cilantro mint and star anise. These toothpastes are vegan, biodegradable, gluten free, and nut free too.
| Crayola Flossers |
Your kids may have brushing down but flossing can be a trickier habit to get into. These colourful Crayola Flossers from G-U-M are a great way to get kids interested in flossing. The easy handle makes it easy to reach into their small mouth and get between the teeth, especially those back molars.
| ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 |
We know the best way to get kids to follow a routine is by following your example. Maybe it’s time to update your brushing system for the whole family. The ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 from Oral-B works with multiple heads and the holder has a spot to hold up to four. The pressure sensor indicates if you’re pressing too hard on your toothbrush by glowing red on the brush itself and displays a sad face on the wireless SmartGuide. There are 5 different brush modes and the SmartGuide also helps ensure you’re brushing all areas of your mouth with a quad 2-minute timer. The packing case and the wireless SmartGuide makes travel easy.
