Brush Up on Toothbrushes for Kids

American families are busier than ever, so it’s often long after the groceries are unpacked that mom or dad realize they forgot to replace the toothbrushes… again! Help them out by placing kid’s toothbrushes near the checkout. Specialty retailers may brush off this idea as inappropriate for their product mix, but unique toothbrushes from Live-Right, Benedent Corporation, Dr. Fresh and Preserve are exceptional finds that make customers smile! Dentists recommend that toothbrushes be changed every 3 months, so dental care products, especially those with impulse-buy appeal, can be a great way to brighten profits.

Banana Brush Has Appeal

The Baby Banana Brush by Live-Right is an elongated, bendable, silicone infant toothbrush and teether that helps avoid soft tissue damage and reaches the back corner of the mouth. The 100% silicone bristles are firm enough to remove decay-causing bacteria, while still being gentle on sensitive teeth and gums.

Mother of two and dental hygienist Heather Phillips was inspired to design a safer, more effective brush after her nephew fell on a plastic infant toothbrush and injured his mouth. This brush is functional and fun for babies 3 to 12 months. The banana shape attracts attention, and its wide handle with grips is easy for small hands to hold. It can also be refrigerated and used as a teether to further soothe sore gums. Live-Right additionally offers a toddler version designed for children ages 1 to 2 years old.
