I'll third the Sonicare. I've had mine for a few years now...no cavities!

Honey is right. Stand with the son to make sure he's brushing. Even 10 year olds want direction.

And, the Sonicare is fabulous. Yes, it is pricey, but here's my experience. 12 months ago at my check up, I had many 4 and 5 mm pockets in my gums. My dentist and hygienist told me to get the Sonicare. I got a Sonicare and at my next check up 6 months ago, the deepest pockets I had were 3 mm. I'll never use any other toothbrush.

We love our SonicCares also! 2 for $99.99 (includes travel cases) at Costco right now. :) Be sure you get the "quadpacer" on yours. It'll give a beep every 30 sec so you will spend 30 sec on each quarter of your teeth, equalling 2 full minutes. Good luck!

I have to agree with the other moms. I have had a Sonicare toothbrush for 5+ years. Before Sonicare I had gingivitus and sore gums. With the Sonicare I get the fresh from the dentist feeling everyday! Also, my hygenist regularly tells me how great my teeth look and that I must floss everyday (and shhhh, I never do!).

We have had to replace ours 2 times over the past couple years with the base accidentally being dropped. For a little while my hubby and I shared the same base and just had different toothbrush heads...might be a way to keep it more affordable.

Good luck.

We have the Sonicare too! My in-laws bought us it for X-mas a few years back. They started using them and said they are great and bought one for all the adults in the family. They sell 2 packs, which is what my DH and I got. They each have a different color band, to tell them apart. They only come with 1 charger but we take turns and they really do work great! They are pretty pricey but awesome and worth every penny!

I love my SONICARE!
I have 4 children ages 6, 8, 10, 11
they all use the Sonicare since age 5
never once a cavity.
I hear the word expensive being tossed around about this product.
I would say absolutely NOT, very much inexpensive or free if you compare it to dental bills............
It is so worth having children with zero dental issues. (and myself)
Oh, and that just from the dentist clean feeling after each and every brush is PRICELESS!!

Well, I use Albuterol and I know how bad it can effect my mouth tissue if I don't brush right away. So, why not have him brush his teeth after that and at bedtime and other times too. Not just after the meds.

Get some of those chew up pills from the dentist, or the office can tell you where to get them, and show him what he's missing.

OK, this isn't an electric toothbrush but I have a friend who absolutely loves this product which you attach to your shower plumbing and it becomes a water pick with the twist of a nob. Every time you shower you can clean your teeth and gums without splashing water all over the bathroom. Her family is prone to gum disease but she's been using it for 15 years and still no sign of a problem. I'm about to order one for myself. www.showerfloss.com.
