Dr. Fresh FireFly Toothbrush Review and Giveaway (Closed)

Firefly Toothbrushes

I’m sure if your reading this you either have young children or at one time had young children so you can empathize with me.  Brushing teeth has got to be the biggest struggle in my household.  With 3 young children who have agendas of their own, brushing their teeth doesn’t seem to top the list.

I’m not sure about you, but at my house we struggle with the two minute rule.  My children don’t seem to understand that just putting the toothbrush in your mouth and sucking off the toothpaste doesn’t quite work the way it should.  We’ve tried the singing a song thing, but seriously, how are you supposed to sing while brushing your teeth?

So, when I was contacted to do a review on the FireFly toothbrush, I jumped at the opportunity.  The FireFly toothbrush is among the many personal care innovations from Buena Park, California’s DR. FRESH. Dr. Fresh manufactures a host of popular and affordable oral care and personal health products.

The first thing I noticed about the toothbrush were the bright colors.  It will surely catch the eyes of the younger ones.  My daughter of course picked the pink one, my first son picked the blue one and I gave a clear one to my youngest son.  After opening the toothbrushes I noticed how nicely they fit into little hands.  Each of the children were able to get a good grip to make brushing more efficient.

The FireFly toothbrush is also gentle on little gums.  The bristles are soft and individually rounded to prevent microscopic cuts to the gums.

Another feature I love is the built in timer.  Once the timer is activated, it will blink bright red for one minute.  The one minute timer is the amount of time your child should spend brushing on each arch.  I have to say, a much better alternative to singing.  After the timer stops blinking, you should restart it and start on the other arch. Another cool feature is the battery.  The light stops functioning after the optimal number of uses, meaning it’s time for a new one.

I saved the best for last.  This toothbrush retails for only 99 cents! The FireFly toothbrush is a fantastic, frugal find!

    I get my children to brush their teeth by first being a good example and next by always asking and then getting their toothbrush if it comes down to that :D

    My youngest has always hated to brush his teeth so we started a dot chart and every night that he does a good job brushing he gets a new dot on his chart. At the end of the month he gets to pick a prize and it’s value is based on the amount of dots he has on his chart.
    Thanks!

    I think you first have to lead by example. If that doesn’t work, let them earn something special when they get a good check-up at the dentist.

    I think that my kids brush better if they can see some results so right after the dentist visit they brush better (well maybe its to avoid going again!).

    I get the kids to brush their teeth by telling them what happens if they neglect them. When they hear about the dentist drill, novicane, and ordeal about what they go through to have them pulled out, they usually cooperate.

    I tell my kids I’m looking for the their favorite characters in their mouth. “I see Dora and Boots in there, open up wide!”
