Personalization and Creativity: Fun Toothbrushing for Kids

Thanks to making brushing fun and making it apart of daily routine, my kids have no problems brushing their teeth. Yet, recent bad news at the dentist means that my oldest will have to have braces and possible gum surgery when she’s older {I know, break this Mommie’s heart!}. Though this has zero cause from brushing, and she’s been told that – I see that this news has taken a toll on her brushing habits. Plainly put, I think she feels that she did so well all her life, for nothing. I have been really trying hard to calm her fears, nerves and make sure she knows that proper dental hygiene is always important. And once again, I’m trying everything to make sure that brushing is fun for her and not deemed a ‘chore’.

Arm & Hammer Spinbrush and Orajel have teamed up to bring kids a fun product that not only helps clean their teeth and prevent cavities, but makes brush their teeth fun and personal with their My Way Spinbrush Toothbrush and My Way Orajel Toothpaste. I got both of these items for review {great timing, wow!} and I was eager to see if it made a difference for my daughter.

The Kid’s Spinbrush MyWay Tooth Brush is the first and only customizable battery powered toothbrush, with a smaller brush head just for kids. The design is intended to make brushing fun by allowing kids to decorate and make their toothbrush unique to only them. And personalization is fun!!!

Isabelle didn’t waste any time tearing that package opening and immediately noticed that the on/off switch was a gemstone! She got to decorating work right away, there really are a ton of stickers included! My daughter received the boys’ kit, which did have a lot of ‘boys’ stickers on it. Yet, she likes animals and some sports, so even though it wasn’t all girly-girl like she is – she still loved it all the same. She was excited to put her name on it and tell her sisters that they couldn’t use her new toothbrush. After putting on the stickers, she brushed her teeth, and again an hour later, ‘I like MY new toothbrush, Mom’!

Since it’s a Spinbrush, I’m confident it reaches areas that a manual doesn’t get to {especially true when it comes to kids}. I am a huge fan of spinning toothbrushes and really think there’s no clean like it, so I’m all too happy when there is a similar {to mine} product for my kids as well. The Kid’s Arm & Hammer Spinbrush MyWay! Toothbrush is priced at just $6.99 and is recommended for ages 3+. I consider that a great price for encouraging daily dental cleanings for kids. In fact, once the twin toddlers are a bit older, this would be a great toothbrush for them all to take pride in!

I also have to give Kudos to the Orajel Kids My Way Anti-cavity Fluoride Toothpaste. It comes in such a handy pump, which lessens the chance of a mess. Really, I hate the toothpaste mess from kids! So, this is one product I KNOW I will keep on purchasing. It also comes with 120 water safe stickers to decorate the toothpaste container. My daughter loved the taste too, bonus! The My Way Anti-cavity Flouride Toothpaste is recommended for children ages 4 years and up.

Personalization and creativity can make toothbrushing fun. I’m so happy these products put a smile back on my daughters’ face!!

One reader will get an Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Kids My Way! Boys toothbrush and a tube of Orajel Kids My Way! toothpaste.
