Yes! I love electric toothbrushes and think they’re definitely worth the money. You can usually get them half price and once you have them replacing the heads is no different to replacing your toothbrush. They let you know when you’ve brushed long enough which is really handy for kids and I just feel like you get a much better clean overall.

I don’t think it matters – the crucial thing is teaching them to clean their teeth properly.

I must say yes do buy as it is more effective and easy to use!

Waste of money – normal toothbrushes work great

My daughter used her electric toothbrush only once before going back to the manual one.

I have owned three – they really freak me out though. I have given them all away. They make my head vibrate…

I found my kids soon list interest in the electric toothbrush, they were great for a while. Myself, I found I pressed too hard a had to get new heads regularly. They probably do a better job at cleaning tho. As a kid, I only ever had a normal toothbrush, so did my partner. As long as the kids brush regularly and properly, which brush they use is irrelevant

I prefer manual toothbrush but I did buy eclectic toothbrush for my now 5 year old and it seem to run out of battery very quickly. So now I have gone back to manual toothbrush for her too.

My boys wanted one for years but I put it off until they were both 10 and able to clean their teeth properly with a normal toothbrush

I love my electric toothbrush but I think start kidlets on a toothbrush easier for camping and travel.

No what happens when you run out of batteries. Abit of hand exercise is good for you

Electric toothbrushes clean teeth better than a manual toothbrush can. Advise your husband that it is an investment in the family’s health. Better oral hygiene means reduced chance of cavities, gingivitis and it’s associated costs.

Love electric toothbrushes. Good for cleaning teeth. The initial outlay may be more expensive than regular toothbrushes; however the heads last longer.

also make it a present or a reward.show hubby how it will be better with youtube vids

i think that you should do it because when they are little they don’t brush properly so this really helps

Yes definately worth spending the money on preventing tooth decay for the longer term. Electric toothbrushes are so much more effective at cleaning and easier for kids to use.

I’ve bought my kids a couple of those disposable ones that you can’t change the head on and they just thrash them. I do think they are better for brushing but I just can’t afford it at the moment.

Our dentist recommended electric toothbrushes for the kids, they clean the teeth better although I prefer the kids to brush with a manual brush beforehand, and the electric one just is the final application. Definitely well worth it, and you can buy them for under $20 at your local supermarket.

My 3 year old didnt really like brushing her teeth. I had to buy something from chemist warehouse in Adelaide & while I was in there I saw an electric Barbie toothbrush for $8. I thought why not try it, she asks to do her teeth all the time now & does such an amazing job of it too.

I can’t stand them to be honest. They don’t get my teeth as clean as a manual toothbrush and cost about 5 times as much
