Wonderful promotion!!

This is a truly great promotion and chance to win this toothbrush. We desperately need something like it because it would motivate my sons to brush more. As a matter of fact, I was looking for a kids battery powered or electric brush and couldn't find one with a replaceable head. I hope I can win!

 

Great Idea!

I would love to win this toothbrush for my sons!  What a great idea!  My husband loves his sonicare.

 

Great Way to Improve the Kids' Dental Hygiene

I'd love to get one of these for both of my kids.  We've tried the "Hannah Montana" singing toothbrush to keep us brushing until she's finished with her song.  I've tried to convince them both that they need to sing "Happy Birthday" in their head at least two times before they are finished brushing.  Unfortunately, neither seems to keep them focused on the task consistently.  It would be nice to try something that has worked for others!

 

A great idea

 

Sing!

I know it's not exactly easy to sing when you're brushing your teeth, but tell a kid to do it and they'll giggle.  They mostly end up gurgling the song but that's fine too.  Why sing?  Because if you pick the right song and have them do it to the end (or even stand there and sing while they brush) then they'll do it for the right amount of time.  We have an hourglass that the dentist gave us but the girls aren't 'into' that much. 

I would love to give my kids a Sonicare so that they brush until it turns off... just like I do with my Sonicare.  You don't realize how much you rush your brushing until you have an actual timer to tell you so image how unlikely kids are to brush the right amount of time!

We do "fives."  We count to

We do "fives."  We count to five (very slowly) while brushing each segment of their mouth.  First, they do fives, and then we do fives to get what they missed.

I would love to be included

I would love to be included in this giveaway! Thanks.

 

they sing to each other

We have the kids sing to each other - and when they are done with the song, they can stop brushing.   Or you can actually use a timer too and have the kids set it.

As Long As I Remember...

I make sure they brush and "swish" w/ a flouride rinse twice per day...

 

Yeah Sonicare!

Hats Off to Sonicare for making something like this for KIDS!

We need this toothbrush

I can't wait to get these for my three kids. I have one little one with very little enamel on her teeth and by age four, she already has had 12 cavities. We don;t eat very many sweets, brush, floss and flouride to no avail. My husband and I love our sonicares and I have hoped for a smaller one many times for teh kiddos. It's not natural to be this excited about a toothbrush!

 

II'd love one (or three)

I've loved my sonic care toothbrush.  Hopefully, my kids will too!

I love my Sonicare!

I have a Sonicare and I just love it!  I think that a small version for children would be awesome.  Anything to help us get better Dental check-ups would be great.

 

My Husband Wants to Use His Sonicare on Our
Son

I think the boy deserves his own Sonicare, especially as his first two adult teeth have come in.

Trying To Motivate The Unmotivated! Help!

I recently took my 10 year old to get silver caps on his baby teeth in the back. I'm urging him to take care of his adult ones now. I think these cool toothbrushes would really motivate him! (And my younger one!) (Along with hygiene time!) Thanks for the chance to win!

 

That's a good idea-

That's a good idea- motivation!

 

The Difference Between Night And Day!

I bought my Sonicare Flexcare Plus about two months ago and I LOVE it!!!  It has made all the difference in the world!!  It is much more than an electric toothbrush - it promotes healthy living!  No more scrubbing away at my gums!  Thank you so much Sonicare!!!  I've seen my kids eyeballing mine and I know they would love to have one too!!

 

Wow! I really think my kids

Wow! I really think my kids would love these toothbrushes!  I think they would actually RUN to the bathroom each morning (and evening) instead of me CONSTANTLY hounding them to brush their teeth ;)

Stop the toothbrush chaos!

For some reason the words "go upstairs and brush your teeth" actually enter our children's heads as "go upstairs, get loud and rowdy and don't get anywhere near the bathroom."  A few tricks that work is having a digital timer, musical toothbrushes or just having Mom sit in the bathroom being the toothbrush police.  All of them work for awhile and then we must try a different strategy so it's always rotating in this house.

I love my adult Sonicare so I can't only imagine my kids likeing theirs as well.  Our two boys start orthodontics this week and I've been wondering how to ensure their teeth stay clean; I think I may have found the answer.

I want to try one of these

I want to try one of these and would love to win. Thanks.

 

Me too

I have a grown-up Sonicare that I got at a silent auction at my kids' preschool and it rules.  I'd wanted one a long time but it seemed too expensive.  I'd love to win one of these for my two munchkins.

 

Looks Great!

I have a special needs son who this toothbrush would be ideal for! He definitely needs the music to kep him going and the vibrating brush relaxes him. I'm anxious to try it!

 

I have a sonicare

I have a sonicare toothbrush, and LOVE it!! Great promotion!!

What a great idea~I would love to win this for my grandchilden!

 

Thanks so much for the chance :)

 

I need this! :)

I actually just went to the dentist and they told me because of my horrible gum recession that  I need to go out and buy one of these or I need to get surgery done to fix it!  I just don't know if I can afford one right now, they are sooo pricey.  Would love to get one for free! :)

 

Love it!

I personally use a Soniccare myself and its wonderful!

Electric brushing is more fun

Although I don't have kids, I know using an electric toothbrush is easier and more fun than the manual kind. You get your teeth cleaner with less effort.

 

How exciting!

I'm always struggling to get my kids to take better care of their teeth.  My husband and I will not use anything else but a Sonicare, so I'm very excited to learn that there is a version for children.  *breathes a sigh of relief*  Thank you for the opportunity to win!  

 

Love Sonicare

Every time my daughter sees me brush my teeth with my Sonicare toothbrush she wants to brush her on teeth.  It's great incentive.
