The BURSTkids electric toothbrush is so easy to use that even the toddlers in our test were able to brush their own teeth. We like that it has one button to turn it on and off, a compact brush head that fits easily inside little mouths, and a sturdy silicone handle. It is also topped with bristles that contain activated charcoal nanoparticles, which may result in less wear and more plaque removal than nylon bristles. However, Dr. Dunlop warns that activated charcoal use in dental products is still relatively new and hasn’t been thoroughly studied. For some kids, it can be too harsh and potentially weaken and wear down teeth. You also want to make sure kids spit and rinse thoroughly.

Our only real gripe is that it doesn’t count towards your little one’s five-a-day. If you opt for a disposable baby toothbrush, you’ll notice that many are plastic and others are made from more eco-conscious materials. Bamboo and corn starch ones are biodegradable, for example, while some variants are organic or vegan-friendly. What toothbrush is best for babies?

The Papablic Baby Electric Toothbrush is incredibly easy to use. In fact, we gave it to a 2-year-old to test, and he was able to turn it on right away. We like that the base is smaller and more lightweight, making it ideal for little hands to grip and grab. But what the kids in our test liked most was that the entire head glows and functions as a timer: It turns off after two minutes so kids know when they’ve brushed for the recommended time. The downside to the fun light is that it was a little distracting for the younger set—the toddlers wanted to play with the light instead of brushing. Nasem Dunlop, DMD, board-certified pediatric dentist and owner of Treehouse Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, The light works by way of button batteries, so carefully supervise kids while using this brush, as they're dangerous to swallow. They may be too young to get a thrill out of it but my dd (4) loves the firefly toothbrushes. They have plain ones or character ones. My dd has the my little pony ones."

Despite being disposable, the overall quality of this toothbrush meets our standards. During testing, we observed that its vibration successfully cleaned teeth and was surprisingly quiet for an electric toothbrush. We also found that it’s easy for toddlers to hold and they get excited to use it due to the fun character design. When choosing a toothbrush for your child, whether it’s electronic or not, make sure the bristles are soft, the head is small, and your child can grip the handle.
