Kieran is pretty good when it comes to brushing his teeth, no kicking, screaming and dragging him into the bathroom (phew!). What he does lack is patience! Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes, twice a day to maintain healthy teeth and gums and I am very keen on promoting a good dental hygiene routine for my boys.
When I was asked if Kieran would mind testing out the Firefly toothbrush, I jumped at the chance.
Kieran’s initial reactions were “Cooooool, it’s Spiderman!” and “Awesome – it flashes, look Mummy, it flashes!!“. The child really is an 80’s throwback at times! The brush flashes for 1 minute and Kieran loves this. It is fun, and is good for him. That ticks all the Mummy boxes then! The batteries are encased in the brush and last the lifetime of the brush and replacing it won’t break the bank either. These brushes, (For ages 2+), which come in a Spiderman design or Hello Kitty are available from Llyods Pharmacy, Argos and other leading retailers and are priced at between £1.49 – £2.49.
Why not pop over to the Firefly Facebook page to find out more!
*It is worth mentioning that until Kieran starting using the Firefly brush, I don’t think I was doing the full recommended 2mins either – whoops.
Thumbs up from me!
