We’ve been delighted by Oral-B’s Stages toothbrushes for babies since the time my first-born was tiny.  Two more babies down the road, and six years later, we’re still delighted by their Stages toothbrushes which are perfect for tiny mouths and teeth, and are tickled by some of their latest products.

The Oral-B Stage 1 toothbrush for children between the 4 and 24 months  is really one of the main reasons we love Oral-B for children’s tooth care.  The chubby, padded, wide head, the soft bristles and easy to hold handle are all winners around here.  My 20 month old LOVES her toothbrush, she likes to chew on it actually. It’s hard to convince her to let go!

When it’s time to brush teeth she can’t wait to get her baby tooth gum and cleanser gel into her mouth!  It’s fluoride free, made with xylitol, and so much easier to find than the expensive, health-food store brands.  I was totally excited to discover Oral-B made this product, I don’t know how I’ve missed it!  Normally we purchase an expensive xylitol gel that is hard to find, but we’re totally sold on this safe and natural baby teeth cleanser!

For older children, there’s the sparkly, red, princess-inspired fluoride based toothpaste from Oral B.  We actually don’t use fluoride toothpastes on our children, but our girls were begging to use this!  My baby actually broke into it and was trying to, ahem, consume it.  I’m thinking it’s pretty tasty, and you can’t go wrong with the princess theme!

And, is it possible to have too much fun with a toothbrush?  Well, the answer is yes!  Especially if it’s an electric Disney Princess Toothbrush!  It is HARD to get these brushes away from my kids.  For the three-and-up crowd, these brushes feature a rotating round part up front with stationary bristles at the back, delivering a kid-sized dose of electric toothbrushing motion – not too much, like an overpowering adult brush packs in.  (Oral-B makes awesome adult electric toothbrushes, we’ve used them for years.)

I really wish Oral-B made these rechargeable and with replaceable heads though, because I’ve found my little darlings using their toothbrushes to scrub the floor, the furniture, their toys, and yes – their teeth too!  These are a bit hit for princess lovers (like mine)!

Oral-B even has a floss that they recommend for children because of it’s smooth sliding action and minty fresh flavor.  Now I’m not a floss expert, but this does slide nice and smoothly and the children and I both love a good, minty flavored floss.

Now, even if you don’t have girly-girls like mine, Oral-B has masculine lines of products, Power-Ranger toothbrushes, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars and Toy Story toothpaste – you get the picture.  They’ve also got you covered with manual toothbrushes for all of children’s tooth-developmental stages.  Shaped appropriately for your child’s mouth from baby on up to their tweens, and I’m certainly liking that!
