Making sure my son brushes his teeth properly has always been a concern of mine. As an 8 year old, I can tell you that oral care is not very high on his list of priorities. I still have to supervise him to make sure he is brushing long enough and, more importantly, to make sure he turns off the water from the sink. His little mind tends to wander a bit. In any case, I nag and he brushes, and that’s probably a parenting job I know I’m not alone in.
We recently had the chance to check out the new FireFly Ready Go Brush, which is the new toothbrush from FireFly that mimics a traffic light, lighting up green when it’s time to start brushing, yellow to signal “almost done”, and red to let kids know that they have brushed long enough and are finished with the first row. The toothbrush then completes the cycle for the next row of teeth. I love this concept and let’s face it; sometimes kids need a little entertainment to keep them motivated about those mundane tasks.
Why FireFly Ready Go Brush?
Hurried and insufficient brushing is one of the leading causes of cavities in early childhood. Dentists recommend that 60 seconds of brushing per row of teeth is the amount of brushing time needed to be most effective. The FireFly Ready Go Toothbrush encourages children to take charge of their own oral care and establish good oral healthcare habits for a lifetime, giving parents peace of mind.
Banish Boring Brushing!
The FireFly Ready Go Brush comes in four great designs featuring top entertainment characters kids love:
Barbie
Spider Man
Angry Birds
FireFly
The FireFly Ready Go Brush features soft, high quality DuPont Tynex bristles that are gentle on children’s delicate gums, accepted by the American Dental Association, and are recommended for children ages 3-12. The brushes have a suggested retail price of $3.99 and can be found at Target, Kroger, Meijer stores, Drugstore.com and Amazon.com .
Even More Brushing Fun!
What’s a fun toothbrush without some fun toothpaste to go along with it? FireFly also has a great line of FireFly Fluoride Foam Toothpaste, available in the above characters, which can be squirted directly into your child’s mouth, eliminating messy spills, leaks, and dried-up toothpaste mess on counters and sinks. This light, foamy formula flushes out bacteria and gets into those hard-to-reach spots, which is perfect for kids with braces. Paired with the FireFly Ready Go Brush, this toothpaste provides the ultimate platform in oral care for children. Recommended for ages 3-12, the FireFly Fluoride Foam Toothpaste retails for $2.99 at the major retailers listed above.

I’m convinced the Spiderman one will be a hit with my little one. What a way to put fun into an otherwise mind-numbing ritual 🙂
My kids have used FireFly toothbrushes before and really like them.
Aren’t they fun? We have had zero issues with brushing teeth since we received these. Love them!
