Phillips Sonicare for Kids and App

  • Children's Teeth, Toothbrush

As a Springfield, Missouri’s leader in the area of pediatric dentistry, we know that sometimes getting your kids to brush their teeth can be a challenge, which is why we are excited to share some news with you that may change brushing habits in your household forever!

The new Phillips Sonicare for Kids electric toothbrush is now Bluetooth enabled, plus downloading the app is free! Proper brushing is encouraged through the fun, interactive media that lets kids know when they are brushing well and rewards them for great brushing. The built-in brushing coach is a great way to help them develop healthy habits that, along with routine dental care from our dedicated staff of dental providers, can last throughout a lifetime of great dental health!

For those hard to reach places for little hands – the Sonicare for Kids (ages 3 and up) not only helps them be 75% more effective at brushing, with two built-in power modes for different ages – the appropriate brushing strength is always guaranteed! With each brushing session being tracked there is no longer any doubt as to how long each brushing lasted or lingering questions about how effective it may have been. This allows both parents and kids to partner together in setting future brushing goals to inspire healthy habits for life! Brushing tips help kids remember things they already know about good habits, and they get to see bacteria chased away as they put the power of their brush to use!
