Should I Make the Switch From a Manual Brush to an Electric Toothbrush for Toddlers?


When it comes to introducing your little one to healthy oral care habits, timing is everything. But if you're wondering whether it's time to switch your toddler’s manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush for toddlers, we’ve got great news - you may not even need a manual brush at all! 

Our BabySonic electric toothbrushes can be used from birth as they have been thoughtfully designed to offer a gentle and effective clean for delicate gums and milk teeth. 

Electric vs. Manual Kids Toothbrushes – Which Is Better for Toddlers? 

Electric toothbrushes designed for little ones, like those in our BabySonic range, offer lots of advantages when compared to manual children’s toothbrushes. 

The Benefits of a Children’s Electric Toothbrush

  • More Effective Cleaning: Often, kids electric toothbrushes provide a more thorough clean with consistent, rapid brushing motions and reaching areas in the mouth that are hard to get to with a manual kids toothbrush.
  • Easier for Kids: Children’s electric toothbrushes require less effort to use from your little one - this helps to make brushing more enjoyable and less of a chore for them!
  • Fun Features: Lots of kids' electric toothbrushes come with fun designs and added techy features like lights, and sounds that help to keep kids engaged  for longer.
  • Timers: Many children’s electric toothbrushes (like those in our BabySonic and KidzSonic electric toothbrush range) have built-in timers to help make sure that kids brush for the recommended two minutes.
