Troubleshooting
Bristles are splaying out quickly.
This can indicate that the child is brushing too hard. Encourage a gentler brushing technique. It may also be time to replace the toothbrush if it has been in use for over 3 months or shows significant wear.
Child refuses to brush their teeth.
Make brushing time fun. Use the toothbrush's appealing design as a starting point. Try singing songs, making it a game, or letting the child choose their toothbrush colour (if multiple are available).
Toothbrush appears dirty or discoloured.
Ensure the toothbrush is rinsed thoroughly after each use and stored upright to dry. If discolouration persists or appears concerning, it is a sign to replace the toothbrush.
