As parents, we always want the best for our children, especially when it comes to their health. One of the key aspects of oral hygiene is selecting the right toothbrush for your child. At Brunswick Dental, we understand that with so many options available, making the right choice can feel overwhelming. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the best toothbrush for your little one.
Choose the Right Size Children’s mouths are smaller than adults’, so it’s essential to select a toothbrush with a smaller head and handle that is easy for them to hold. A properly sized toothbrush ensures better reach and comfort while brushing.
Soft Bristles Are Best A toothbrush with soft bristles is ideal for children as it gently cleans their teeth and gums without causing irritation. Medium and hard bristles can be too harsh and may damage young, developing enamel.
Manual vs. Electric Toothbrush Both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective, but some children may find electric toothbrushes more engaging and fun to use. If your child is reluctant to brush, an electric toothbrush with a fun design or timer feature may encourage better brushing habits.
Look for a Comfortable Grip A toothbrush with a non-slip, ergonomic handle can make it easier for small hands to hold and maneuver. Some brushes even have rubber grips that help provide better control.
Fun and Engaging Designs Many toothbrushes come in bright colours or feature popular cartoon characters. Allowing your child to choose their own toothbrush can make brushing a more exciting and enjoyable routine.
Consider Age Recommendations Toothbrushes are often labelled with age recommendations to ensure they are suitable for different developmental stages. Make sure to check the packaging and choose a toothbrush that matches your child’s age.
Replace the Toothbrush Regularly It’s recommended to replace your child’s toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. A worn-out toothbrush is less effective at cleaning teeth properly.
Don’t Forget the Toothpaste! Pairing the right toothbrush with a fluoride toothpaste suitable for your child’s age is important. For children under three, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste, while those aged three to six should use a pea-sized amount.
By choosing the right toothbrush, you’re setting the foundation for good oral hygiene habits that will benefit your child for years to come. If you have any questions or need further guidance, our friendly team at Brunswick Dental is always here to help!

✨ Another Smile Restored at Brunswick Dental! ✨
Nigel has worked his magic once again! This patient came to us feeling self-conscious about a growing gap between her teeth and discomfort while eating. She wanted a permanent, fixed solution – and that’s exactly what Nigel delivered!
With a single dental implant, a gum graft, and a custom crown, her smile is beautifully restored. And here’s the best part – even during the healing process, she had a fixed temporary crown! This means no gap or denture was needed while the implant was settling. Not only is she smiling with confidence, but she’s also enjoying her favourite foods again! 🍽️😁

🦷 Do you grind your teeth?
Excessive teeth grinding (bruxism) can wear down enamel, leaving your teeth looking shorter, chipped, or uneven. Composite bonding is a simple and effective way to restore and reshape your teeth, giving you back a natural, healthy smile!
✨ Are you looking to restore your smile this year?
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive, pain-free solution that:
✔ Repairs chipped, worn, or discoloured teeth
✔ Closes small gaps without braces
✔ Reshapes uneven teeth for a more symmetrical look
✔ Provides instant results in just one visit!
👨⚕️ Dr. Gough is here to help!
Whether you grind your teeth or just want a smile makeover, composite bonding could be the perfect solution for you. Book a consultation with Dr. Gough at Brunswick Dental today and take the first step toward your dream smile!
📅 Appointments available from April, call us today 0191 236 8191
