Philips Sonicare for Kids Toothbrush
The Philips Sonicare For Kids mobile app syncs with your child's toothbrush to help you learn about proper care behind the oral cavity through the game. The child needs to create his own account, which will contain his results. Each game session begins with clear visual instructions about correct technique cleansing the oral cavity. The app can be configured appearance cartoon character who needs daily brushing of teeth. In this way, children learn a useful skill while having fun, and parents can track their progress.

Thanks to the built-in memory, you can store information about the last 20 sessions conducted without using the software application. In the future, the data of these sessions can be transferred to the Quadpacer calendar.
After visiting the dentist's office, or rather after receiving the check, I frankly regretted that I had not chosen this specialty. Well, if we add to this that I have been afraid of them since childhood, then everything related to teeth is very important for me. So, apparently, the Xiaomi robot, together with the coordinates of the apartment, handed over to the Chinese that it would be necessary to make brushes, and preferably smart ones =). Since kettles, towels and other chandeliers are no longer new. In this review, I want to talk about the Xiaomi toothbrush, show additional attachments, and since the brush is smart, I won’t forget about the software either…

Couriers of NovaPoshta no longer throw parcels to offices, but conscientiously bring them home. True, the call that the courier in half an hour will usually be just in working time when there is no way to open it. Have to reschedule shipping.✔ PACKAGING AND COMPLETE SET
At first I thought that Xiaomi went back to their old recycled cardboard packaging. 
But it turned out to be only a protective, additional, package, inside of which there was a presentable-looking box with a toothbrush 
They didn’t even forget about the protection of additional nozzles, and they put their box in the shipping box. 
On the back, information about the features and benefits of the toothbrush, as well as, under the protective layer, a code to check the originality. Okay, power banks, but who will fake toothbrushes ?! Although, this is China, everything is possible there. 
Xiaomi and K began to approach the packaging of their products better and better, the box is really very presentable, inside under the hinged lid in a separate compartment there is a toothbrush, next to it is a box with accessories. 
There are not as many accessories as we would like. 
Wireless charger with traditional Xiaomi Chinese plug. 
Like a toothbrush, the charger is not afraid of moisture and is made according to the IPX7 standard. 
When you connect the brush, the Soocas logo starts to glow brightly, when you turn off the light, the light is almost invisible. 
There is only one nozzle in the kit, although there is enough space for a couple more, but why complete it if it’s easier to sell an additional kit. 
I don’t know about sterility, but the nozzle is in a vacuum package, and the manufacturer promises 100% of something there, probably purity and sterility. I doused it with boiling water before use, just in case. 
The total set is as follows. Unfortunately, there are no spare nozzles or nozzle holders provided. Everything will have to be purchased separately and nozzles an additional case for those who travel often 
The instruction is in Chinese, but from the pictures it is quite possible to understand how to brush your teeth properly, but the main thing is to scan the QR code to install the application. 
This is what the brush looks like at its base, where it will spend 99% of its time.✔ APPEARANCE
I understand that the guys from Xiaomi decided not to bother too much and licked the design with Philips Sonicare DiamondClean. But Xiaomi's plus is that the price is three times less than that of Philips. 
In the base, the brush stands confidently, does not stagger and does not fall. The brush holds a full charge in the region of 20-25 days, and is fully charged in 7-8 hours. 
The plastic coating of the case is very pleasant to the touch, something like a light soft touch. In a wet hand does not slip and does not fall out of the hands. 
There is only one control button. Long press - on / off, short press - switching cleaning modes. 
At the bottom is a metal plug with a small hole. The hole is not intended to reset the brush settings, but rather, so that the plug can be removed. 
In the upper part there is a metal pin with a rubber gasket. 
The operating mode indicators are illuminated in white. Switching off and on again does not reset the modes. 
Standard cleaning mode
In this mode, about 31,000 high-frequency vibrations per minute are carried out, which contributes to effective cleaning of the oral cavity, removal of plaque and other foreign particles. Used for daily effective brushing of teeth
Sensitive Mode
Guaranteed effective cleaning of the oral cavity, treatment special attention gums Designed for users who often experience gum disease, have dental implants or wear braces.
Gum Care/Beginner Mode
Massage effect, maximum attention to the gums, more pleasant sensations during brushing. Designed for users who have bleeding gums,
extracted teeth or suffer from ulcerative stomatitis. When using your Soocare x3 toothbrush for the first time, it is recommended to turn on this mode and use it for a week in order to gradually switch from using a regular toothbrush to electric brush Soocare x3.
Whitening/Individual Mode
In this mode, it is carried out from 34800-37200 high-frequency vibrations per minute. Use the mode if you need deep cleaning of the oral cavity. This mode is designed to eliminate particles and plaque after smoking, drinking tea, coffee, etc. Use the app to set "custom settings" for a better and more enjoyable brushing experience. 
Battery charge indicator. 
At the moment of data synchronization with the smartphone, the Bluetooth stash lights up. 
In the kit, unfortunately, there is only one nozzle Soocas Clean, which is suitable for daily brushing. 
Some information from the manufacturer. The bristles are designed in an unusual shape to "clean your teeth in hard to reach places". The bristles themselves are made using some kind of 3D technology (not to be confused with the Mi 5 case), thanks to which each bristle processes 40% more surface. 
The nozzle is put on the pin of the brush with effort, perhaps in the future the plastic will break, but I don’t think that this will happen in three months. The manufacturer recommends that the nozzle be used for this period, and then replaced. 
There is a small "dot" on the back of the nozzle that should line up with the notch on the metal pin. 
The weight of the brush is 127 grams. 
Length 166 mm. 
The diameter at the bottom is 28.7 mm, and at the top 27.1 mm. 
The nozzle included in the kit has a working surface width of 8.0 millimeters and a length of 19.7 mm. 
✔ WORK PRINCIPLE
Model range of brushes✔ ADDITIONAL NOZZLE
There are three toothbrush models available: Soocare Clean, Soocare Inter and Soocare Mini.
They vary in size and each with its own purpose.
Soocare Clean- the largest, intended primarily for everyday use by people who do not have special problems with teeth.
Soocare Inter- suitable for people who have problems with their teeth on the contrary.
Soocare Mini- the smallest representative, designed for smokers and coffee lovers.
Before ordering, I did not know that the Mini nozzle was for coffee lovers, I frankly thought that it was for children.
The packaging is also with a security code against fakes. Here are the nozzles, I think they can fake if there is a big demand for these brushes 
There are already a couple of nozzles in the package, which will last for six months. Just like the nozzle from the kit are in a vacuum package. 
Transparent plastic cap available. 
The downside is that you have to read the name of the nozzle or carefully look at the size, and not, say, at the color of the seat. It would be logical to make it a different color so as not to get confused. 
I don’t know why the mini is only for smokers and coffee lovers, I would call it childish because of its size. 
We stain our teeth with honey and plasticine. 
After turning on the "head" of the brush begins to vibrate at a frequency of up to 37,200 vibrations per minute. Depending on the mode, the strength and degree of vibration is different. 
The brush saved the test jaw from honey in about a minute. Another feature of this brush is that it has a built-in ST G-Sensor. Due to which the brush simply turns off after 30 seconds of brushing one half of the jaw, it only needs to turn on automatically if you change the angle of inclination or move it to the other half of the jaw. 
But I used plasticine in vain, I just ruined the brush. Then I tried to remove this plasticine with an ordinary toothbrush, the result is even worse. Conclusion - do not chew plasticine =) 
Download and install the MiHome application and then search for the brush from the application. 
The main window of the program displays the percentage of charge of the battery built into the brush and the remaining life of the nozzle. 
The main settings menu, all in Chinese. Using the translator, we find out that the top line is the duration of cleaning 1-1.5-2-2.5-3 minutes 
The next menu item is to turn on or off the anti-splatter mode, it is convenient that after turning on the brush does not vibrate on top speed, and does not splatter the paste around itself. next mode Includes advanced whitening feature. 
Then 30 seconds to massage the gums or 10 seconds to clean the tongue. Only 1 mode can be selected, except for anti-splatter. 
Additional settings. 
But there is an alternative application - Soocas. 
There are many more settings in this program. 
Frankly, I don’t know how the brush will determine that it is now cleaning a tooth with caries, but there is a choice of it. 
And we indicate the degree of whiteness of your teeth. 
A small instruction on how to use the software. 
Here the settings are already in Russian, we set them as we wish. 
Information about the toothbrush 
The better and more often we brush our teeth, the more points we earn. 
Do not ask on what basis it calculates its points, I brush my teeth + - the same way. Possibly depending on the phases of the moon. 
We use a brush, we get different medals. For children it will be relevant. 
The main "desktop" of the program. 
✔ VIDEO REVIEW
Concerning own feelings, then brushing your teeth has become easier and better. I applied the paste and move the brush along one half of the jaw, turned off - transfer to the other half. As a result, in two minutes all teeth are clean. However, after cleaning, I massage the gums for another 30-40 seconds. At first it is unusual, but after 2-3 days you get used to it. FROM regular brush can not be compared, cleans teeth very high quality. According to the idea of the manufacturer, 1 brush = 1 person, but you can make a life hack, purchase additional nozzles and mark for each family member different color using nail polish. I will take the price as a plus, in comparison with Phillips it is three times cheaper. It makes no sense to compare and attribute it to the pros with a regular brush, I will not return to a regular brush 100%. For those who are afraid of fillings, bridges and other implants falling out, they wore it to show their dentist before use, he gave the go-ahead, they say, this is not an ultrasound from which fillings can fall out. “Brains” here are probably more for children, I can’t attribute them to pluses, they stimulate and control. For me, the main plus is to find out% of the charge, and most importantly, after how much to change the nozzle. By cons, I’ll take that, a brush from the category of “egoist”. No additional holders or stands for nozzles are provided. There is a travel box for sale, but the price tag is almost like half a brush - not very humane.

I plan to buy +39 Add to favorites Liked the review +27 +67Today we bring to your attention a selection of children's toothbrushes: there are not many of them on the market, in principle, however, there are probably more than you thought.
This is not the most popular niche of gadgets, however, it seems to us very useful, because many dental problems begin due to lack of hygiene, which is laid down in early age.
Two minutes is not a long time, but getting a child to just stand in front of a mirror and brush his teeth during this time is not an easy task! That's why they came up with interactive brushes that captivate the process and accustom to systematic procedures. A few years ago it all started with Kolibree.
kolibree
One of the most important projects in this area, the most recognizable and "cited", because - the first!
If you think about looking for a smart baby brush on Google, then almost the entire first page will somehow display this model.
It was made simpler than the Kolibree, which made it possible to visibly without losing the main meaning. Grush also includes an app that tells you to fight germs for two minutes.
playbrush
The third most notable project, which you will also get among the first links, is quite new - PlayBrush, whose developers we met at IFA.
This motivating device seems to us the most promising and interesting, at least because it is universal: PlayBrush is a brush attachment. In other words, you don’t need to buy a separate gadget, you don’t need to think about where to get attachments, etc. It’s also worth saying that all the responsibility for choosing a brush and bristles is shifted to the parents: no pig in a poke is imposed on you.
The silicone cap is worn on any brush and synchronized with applications, and some of them are duplicated in the "boy" and "girl" versions.
The task is similar - for two minutes to keep the attention of the child with a brush in his mouth, and the plot of the game will ensure that the brush goes from side to side.
And finally, PlayBrush is very affordable, and we have it on the site.
I also liked the details of the kit: PlayBrush has a special protective pocket for a smartphone. If someone tried to brush their teeth and keep a smartphone nearby without protection, they understand what it is about.
It is impossible not to mention other projects - one of the most famous, owned by a world-famous brand - Philips Sonicare.
An inexpensive brush that also works in tandem with a smartphone and offers to train perseverance in tandem with free application.
A brush for adults, but also with an element of gamification, - Beam. This is a closed project that cooperates with insurance companies.
And, finally, another interesting project, not very well known, visually similar to PlayBrush - Rainbow.
It's not really a brush head, and you're still being held hostage by the brush heads, but all the other "classic" elements in the form of games and apps are there. Models are designed for children and teenagers, and the company is currently preparing to release an adult version.
Finally, let me quote myself:
Baby teeth
The problem of brushing children's teeth is considered from the point of view of two medical sciences: dentistry and psychology, each of which, in its own way, decides either the prerequisites or the consequences.
The result is most often an early children's caries(Early Childhood Caries) - the most common disease. it chronic illness at the moment, it is common in children under 6 years of age in 30-40% of cases, and a severe form of RDC is in children under 3 years of age in 12-15%. The disease is caused by bacteria that take advantage of the fact that a nutrient medium remains in the oral cavity, including pieces of food, etc.
Medicine, oddly enough, is practically powerless in the face of the prerequisites for such a disease, since its development occurs uncontrollably, at home, but since dentists then “get it” a lot, they formulated their wishes:
- Don't overfeed your baby at night
- Don't let him fall asleep with a bottle
- Do not lick pacifiers to avoid transmitting bacteria
- First tooth - first dentist
- Encourage your child to brush their teeth regularly twice a day.
- Use a soft toothbrush, etc.
A rather detailed transcript of this is offered by Dr. Komarovsky, well-known among mothers, where he offers, in particular:
- Invent fairy tales and stories about teeth
- attract toys
- Draw on the theme of brushing your teeth
- Etc.
I do not share the common advice that the “parody” model is effective, since by repeating the process in a grotesque form after mom and dad, the child does it very thoughtlessly, copying and not attaching any absolute significance to it.
How do they grow
Just in case, I propose to remember with what frequency, according to statistics, children's teeth appear. Although this should not be treated as a standard, because the process is largely individual.
- 3 - 8 months - central teeth, incisors, first from below, then from above
- 12 months - lateral incisors
- 13 - 18 months - molars and slightly lagging canines
- 24 months - most often already all 20 milk teeth: 8 incisors, 4 canines and 8 molars.
A child with milk teeth lives for a relatively short time and the first shifts begin by the age of 4. Most often, the upgrade sequence is the same as the growth sequence.
When to start cleaning
FROM psychological point vision, it is necessary to start caring for the oral cavity even before the appearance of teeth. Now there are quite a few "brush-like" devices with rubberized tips that visually perform the function of a toothbrush, but formally help the eruption of the first teeth.
First hygiene procedures occur while “on the breast” or on the bottle, when, half an hour after feeding, the mother nurses with the help of special means behind the infant's mouth. The tendency for parents to help their child brush their teeth continues until about 2 years of age, and at this time it is recommended to carefully select the bristles of the first toothbrushes and, in general, be more careful with movements.
By the age of two, when children begin to do some things a little more consciously, it's time to get used to the toothbrush. And to what we have already said, it remains to add that some parents, together with doctors, consider it appropriate to separate the two processes from each other: teeth cleaning and oral cleaning.
In the latter case we are talking that after each meal you can rinse your mouth or drink a glass warm water, and this also affects the quality of the teeth in the future.
It has already been proven that electric toothbrushes are better at cleaning teeth than regular toothbrushes. This is especially important for children who do not really like this activity. But before buying such a device, it is important to know about the features of its choice.
| Model | Number of pulsations per min | Nozzle included | Source of power | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral-B Kids Mickey Mouse | 5600 | 1 | battery | |
| Hapica Kids | - | 1 | batteries | |

Features of selected models
You can buy a children's electric toothbrush already from three years. It is at this age that interest in oral hygiene is gradually lost and the process itself begins to occur carelessly.
Manufacturers of toothbrushes take into account the thinness and fragility of children's enamel, so all the hairs have rounded tips. However, the structure of the bristles makes it possible to thoroughly clean the chewing surface.
With regular use, the hair color will become lighter in 3-4 months. This will tell you that it's time to change the nozzle.
All toothbrushes are safe for the child, because the batteries are in a waterproof case.
In addition, the stylish bright design attracts the attention of the child, helps to overcome fears and makes the cleaning process not only of high quality, but also interesting.
