Dr. Fresh Firefly Toothbrush Review

My son loves brushing his teeth and he really loves picking out a cool toothbrush. He recently had the opportunity to review a Spiderman toothbrush that he loves! This toothbrush is a Dr. Fresh Firefly toothbrush.

With studies showing that childhood decay is reaching epidemic level in the U.S. And it is well documented that cavities in baby teeth set the stage for cavities in adult teeth. That's why I feel that the Firefly Toothbrush from Dr. Fresh is a great way to encourage children to want to brush and to brush longer. The Spiderman character on the brush itself, makes it appealing for my son and he wants to use it more (all the time). Here is the trick though. In order to get them to brush a little longer, there is a little button placed on the toothbrush. As soon as I hand him the toothbrush I mash the button. The button makes his toothbrush start blinking. It blinks for 1 minute - the recommended time for brushing each arch. So he can easily know that he has brushed long enough! And the light will stop working in about 3 months - just when it's time for a replacement toothbrush.

Here is a little video of my son using his Dr. Fresh Toothbrush so that you can see the how it lights up:



FireFly's bristles are soft and individually rounded so it won't cause microscopic cuts to the gums. (Dentists even recommend it for adults for that reason.) But they resiliently spring back into shape!

Priced at only .99, why not try one to see if your child will start to love brushing.
