Baby Banana Bendable Training Toothbrush, Toddler

Comment: I got one of these at a dental meeting a couple of years ago. My son loved it so much that I now have purchased one for my nephew and will purchase one for more family and friends as they have children. My son loved to chew on both ends and it was great for teething! I would highly recommend it!

Comment: My daughter loves her banana toothbrush, which means I do, too. She's 16 months old and becoming very independent. She used to let me brush her teeth with one of those fingertip brushes, but started refusing (and biting my finger), which is when I searched for a new solution. She immediately loved this product. Of course, she chews on it rather than actually brushing, but it has helped us establish a new routine. When we brush her teeth before bedtime, she now lets me brush (quickly) with the fingertip brush, just to make sure each tooth gets a scrub-over, then it's her turn with her toothbrush, which she looks forward to. In 4 weeks we have not yet had a problem with bristles breaking.

Comment: this little toothbrush is awesome. it is super-heavy duty silicone, dishwasher-safe & soft enough that if your child falls with the brush in their mouth, they will not be injured. this was designed by a dental hygienist mama!
my littlest one LOVES this brush. he chews on either end & also lets us brush his teeth with it. we have not had any problems with any of the bristles breaking off - this thing is all one piece, so I'm not sure how people are having that problem.
everyone asks me where I got this whenever my Little is chewing on it. it is the perfect size for little hands & little mouths & so much safer than a regular toothbrush.

Comment: I have this toothbrush and my son loves it but when I saw the review about bleeding I became concerned. So I asked my dental hygienist who told me that bleeding is a normal part of teething whether an infant is chewing on something hard (like a cheerio) or soft (like the banana brush). In fact it helps the teeth work through the gums faster and generally provides relief to the infant. I feel much better now and will continue to use this toothbrush.

Comment: I've been in the dental field for 12 years. And I have to say this is a great product and I try almost every toothbrush that comes out! I want to comment on a couple of the reviews. First of all I called the company and the bristles are re-inforced now and are a lot stronger. They've also created and improved upon the original design because so many parents were using it as a teether INSTEAD of a toothbrush. The 0-12 months has the thickest bristles because that's when the majority of teething takes place. So,use it longer if your child teeth come in latter than switch to the older training toothbrush. Remember, it's still a toothbrush NOT a teether!. I also found out that they've passed the strictest gov.t testing so if your cutie accidentally knaws one or two off it's OK because it isn't harmful in any way. Hope this helps!
