Children's enamel is much thinner and softer than adults', so both the brushing technique and the toothbrush itself must be as gentle as possible.
Brushing recommendations:
Choose the right model:
For toddlers under 3 years old: Oral-B Kids 3+ with soft bristles
For children aged 6 and up: Oral-B Junior with a timer and pressure sensor
Use brush heads labeled “Sensitive” — they feature ultra-soft bristles for gentle cleaning.
Monitor pressure — children often press too hard. If the toothbrush has a pressure sensor, it will help prevent excessive force.
Brushing time — at least 2 minutes, switching zones every 30 seconds.
Use a children’s toothpaste with low fluoride content and a pleasant taste to help build a positive habit.
❗ If the brush caused irritation and the manufacturer is unresponsive, 👉leave a review on Xolvie👈. It will help other parents make informed choices and draw the brand’s attention to the sensitivity of children's enamel.
