Crest SpinBrush Pro Whitening Toothbrush — 

I have two boys, ages 7 & 12, and they hate to brush their teeth.  Every morning and every night, getting them to brush their teeth was a battle. I tried buying different toothpastes, colorful toothbrushes, etc., and nothing seemed to help.

Then, just before Christmas I picked up a dual pack of Crest Spinbrushes, with holder, at Sam's Club for less than $ 19.00.  As soon as my son's saw the toothbrushes, they ran back and both brushed their teeth.  I figured it was a fluke.  Well, it's been several months since then, and while they aren't running to brush their teeth anymore, they aren't fighting me about it either.  If I had known that a Crest Spinbrush was the answer to my problem, I would have bought them long ago.

The Crest Spinbrush is battery operated and are designed in a way that makes it easy to get to hard to reach places.  The bristles move very quickly when the toothbrush is turned on, and I feel that my boys are getting their teeth clean, even when they aren't really "trying" to brush that well.  When the brush head wears down, you don't have to go out and buy a whole new brush.  You simply pick up a pack of replacement heads, which I think cost about $ 5.00, and throw the old ones away.  It really makes teeth cleaning simple, and enjoyable for the kids.

The Crest Spinbrush has an on/off switch at the front of the toothbrush. It's easy to flip the switch, but not so easy that it could be done accidently while brushing.  My children are available to operate their toothbrushes by themselves, with no assistance from me.

I just recently discovered that they make Crest Spinbrushes specifically for kids.  The ones I have are not made for children, but I'm sure that would be a better idea for younger kids.    The Crest Spinbrush for kids have fun designs and a smaller brush, so that it will fit nicely in a child's mouth.

The Crest Spinbrush has an ergonomic handle, for comfortable gripping, and are available in fun colors.  I'm very happy with my Crest Spinbrush purchase, and it will be something that we will have here for a very long time.  After seeing how well my children did with their Crest Spinbrushes, my husband went out and bought himself one too.  Now our entire has thrown out our manual toothbrushes, and we can all tell a difference in our dental hygiene.

I would highly recommend this product for everyone.  It speeds up brushing time, and leaves your mouth feeling clean.  The price is very reasonable, and doesn't cost much more than a manual toothbrush.

I just reviewed SpinBrush. It's a great product but I spent some time on the odors it can develop. I've figured out cleaning methods and have had the same base for a couple of years! Nice when something can last... Excellent review!

I had one of these once. I have NO idea where it went. It worked well too.

Wonder if they have one for the toddlers?

I have two boys ages 8 and 11 and I also got them spin toothbrushes. I should write a review too! I didn't even think about it!
