electronic toothbrush for 10 year old

Can anyone recommend am electronic -sonic toothbrush for a 10 year old? My son does not like to brush his teeth properly and I feel if he has a neat gadget like this, he would do a better job and have his teeth properly cleaned. I am starting to see some stains and yellowing at the gum line because he only brushes half way sometimes. Thanks!

I would ask your dentist. I'm sure they could recommend an age appropriate one!!

My dentist gives all his patients Sonic Care. Well, not give but hands them out and then bills you but at a fraction of the price of what I would pay. I think they are really great.

Teach your son how to floss his teeth as well-- there are mint flavored flosses too.

Our Dentist recommended Oral B electric toothbrushes 15 years ago.  You can purchase a Oral B electric toothbrush with 2 (maybe 3 brushes) for $20 at our Walmart.  

 

We still use that brand - no cavities either.  Our visits are in and out.

My sister got the kids a Phillips Sonic for kids. They are 3 and 6. It is around $40. Amazon has it for $39 and a head refill kit for $18, both are prime skipping.  The kids love it.
