Little Brushies

We LOVE seeing Brushi Bear™ in action 🐻🥰

This is why we do what we do, watching little ones build healthy habits from day one, with a smile on their face.

We wanted to create a toothbrush that feels like a friend for a child but is more effective at brushing than anything else we could find.

Brushi Bear™ turns the morning brush into something they genuinely love, even when they’re still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.

When they see their toothbrush as a little friend 🐻💛

As dentists (and mums) we’re always looking at the bigger picture. ✨ Starting your little one with an electric toothbrush like Brushi Bear™ at an early age isn’t just about surviving today’s tantrums, it’s about building healthy habits that stick with them for life.

Dr. Mary and Dr. Annie get real about our own toddler brushing battles and why making the switch changed everything. ☀️🪥

Watching little siblings brush together is such a sweet WELL NEEDED reminder that while it’s not always this calm, shared routines can turn everyday moments into something special 💛

Because healthy habits don’t have to feel like a chore… sometimes they look like this ✨

Here’s what we recommend as dentists:

💫 Keep sweet treats to mealtimes rather than grazing throughout the day. Frequent sugar exposure increases the number of acid attacks on enamel.

💫 Choose fresh fruits like strawberries or berries over sticky sweets and chewies, which cling to teeth for longer.

💫 Offer water after sweet treats and ice creams to help rinse away sugars and support enamel.

💫 Dairy matters. Milk or cheese after sugary snacks can help neutralise acids in the mouth and support strong teeth with calcium.

💫 Don’t brush immediately after sweets or acidic foods. Wait at least 30 minutes before brushing, as enamel temporarily softens after sugar and acid exposure.

💫 Stick to brushing twice daily- morning and bedtime- using a fluoride toothpaste appropriate for your child’s age.

A balanced approach helps children enjoy the fun of half term while protecting growing smiles long term 🤍

Ever wonder what’s actually going on inside your baby’s mouth when they’re teething? Let’s unpick the science, parent-to-parent.

If your little one is chewing on literally everything (including your fingers), they aren’t trying to be difficult, they’re trying to soothe those aching gums!
During the teething phase, babies naturally crave pressure on their gums. That’s exactly why we designed Brushi Bear™. It features textured, ultra-soft silicone bristles that massage the gums while secretly building great brushing habits early.

🚨 What many people don’t realise is that decay in baby teeth can impact the health of adult teeth too 🚨

In the UK, tooth decay is still the number one reason children are admitted to hospital, despite being largely preventable. 🦷

That’s why healthy habits from the very beginning matter so much.

✨ Make brushing fun with a toothbrush they genuinely love
✨ Encourage a balanced diet and keep sugary snacks and drinks to a minimum
✨ Book that first dentist visit as soon as their very first tooth appears

Baby teeth deserve big care, and small daily habits can make all the difference 💫

Pining for the park and some sunshine, but first clocking in with today’s top brushing tip.

Brush for the full 2 minutes.
We know that’s not always easy with little ones, but it’s always worth aiming for.
Our Little Brushies nursery rhyme timer makes the dentist-recommended brushing time much easier (and much more fun) to stick to.

It’s great to encourage their independence, so let them start off themselves, but remember dentists recommend parents/carers assist with brushing until around age 7 for effective cleaning.
