Brush baby silicone toothbrush and a lot of patience!"(Vetted by Mumsnet user Shakeitshakeitbaby) Our verdict The AAP and AAPD recommend using a rice-grain sized dab of kid friendly toothpaste containing fluoride as soon as your child's first tooth emerges. Once children are 3 to 6 years old, says the AAPD, parents should increase the amount of toothpaste to pea-size. After brushing, children should spit out, not swallow, excess toothpaste. Should baby toothpaste have fluoride? When it comes to electric toothbrushes, there are two battery types: disposable and rechargeable. Several of the toothbrushes on our list contain disposable batteries, including the Colgate Kids Battery Powered Toothbrush, hum Kids Smart Battery Powered Toothbrush, Papablic Baby Electric Toothbrush, and the Arm & Hammer Kids Spinbrush Electric Toothbrush, to name a few. While these electric toothbrushes are easy to travel with, you’ll have to remember to replace the batteries regularly. Alternatively, you could sign up for a quip Kids Electric Toothbrush subscription, which includes a new battery with every brush head refill. AAPD. Undated. American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

The Papablic Baby Electric Toothbrush is incredibly easy to use. In fact, we gave it to a 2-year-old to test, and he was able to turn it on right away. We like that the base is smaller and more lightweight, making it ideal for little hands to grip and grab. But what the kids in our test liked most was that the entire head glows and functions as a timer: It turns off after two minutes so kids know when they’ve brushed for the recommended time. The downside to the fun light is that it was a little distracting for the younger set—the toddlers wanted to play with the light instead of brushing.

Best baby toothbrushes at a glance

to 5 stars: These are the best electric toothbrushes for kids we tested. We recommend them without reservation. Shop for a toothbrush together. Show your child four or five different toothbrushes (approved by you) and allow them to choose the one they like the best. Parents of wriggly babies unwilling to ‘say ahh’ know only too well how hard it can be to brush their bundle of joy’s toothy pegs (about as easy as trying to take their temperature with one of the best baby thermometers). A Baby Buddy finger toothbrush could be the answer.

Age suitability: 0 years+ | Power: Not powered | Firmness: Soft | Size: 12.07cm x 5.08cm x 2.54cm| Material: 100% Silicone, BPA, Lead and Phthalate Free. What we love The best toothbrush for babies is Baby Banana’s Teething Toothbrush. Chewable and fun, it’s easy for little hands to hold and will get infants up to one year old used to the idea of toothbrushing without knowing it. I also got him a banana toothbrush that he likes to chew on. I put a little toothpaste on there sometimes and run the brush on his teeth and then just let him continue teething on it."

The verdict: Kids’ toothbrushes

And, although it’s soft for sore mouths, it’s still strong enough to stand up to your baby's gumming.

It’s worth mentioning that the screen time (albeit brief) associated with this toothbrush could be a downside for some parents. If you’re trying to limit your kids’ exposure to screens, you may need to weigh the pros and cons of using this particular toothbrush.

How we chose the best baby toothbrushes

In August 2021, Laura left the weird and wonderful world of local news behind her and made the jump into freelance journalism. Since then, Laura has written articles for a number of national, international and specialist titles, including the Daily Mirror, the i, Metro, Stylist and Happiful magazine. It goes without saying that baby toothbrushes should be smaller than adult versions. The head needs to fit easily inside your baby’s mouth, otherwise it’ll be uncomfortable and unlikely to clean teeth effectively, plus harder-to-reach teeth will probably be missed. Read together.
