Keep Kids Teeth Healthy with Oral-B Stages and Crest Pro-Health FOR ME – Review & Giveaway

August 26th, 2011 •  248 thoughtful comments » • 719 views

Oral care is an important thing for kids to learn at an early age. We know that it’s much hard to learn new tricks as we get older, so showing kids how to keep their teeth and gums clean and healthy is important. The trick is that “adult” toothpastes aren’t necessarily appropriate or kid-friendly. That’s where Oral-B Stages and Crest Pro-Health FOR ME come in. These products provide kid- and tween-friendly products to help kids brush and floss.

About Oral-B Stages

Oral-B Stages ToothpasteOral-B® Stages, dentists’ #1 recommended toothbrush brand for children, not only has kid appeal but is specially designed to address children’s dentition, dexterity and development as they grow. Oral-B also offers kid-friendly Stages toothpaste to complement their brushing routine.

Oral-B Stages is recommended by dentists, accepted by parents and preferred by kids.

About Crest Pro-Health FOR ME

Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health FOR ME is the first and only complete line of oral care products for tweens (kids 8+) created to protect all the areas dentists check in kids including fighting cavities, strengthening teeth enamel and freshening their breath.

The Pro-Health FOR ME line includes toothbrushes that are just the right size for older kids’ mouths, toothpaste and rinse flavors designed for tweens and floss picks that are easy to use – all in unique packaging that’s cool enough for tweens!

The Review

With innovative designs, bright colors, and kid-friendly flavors, both Oral-B Stages and Crest Pro-Health FOR ME are design just for kids. While they look fun, the  truest test for both of these products is whether or not they can help kids “get excited” about brushing their teeth.

WiC Chick Hollie, of Woman of Hope and Prayer, and her daughter helped us test out Oral-B Stages. Designed for kids between 0 and 7 years old, there are 3 Oral-B Stages to choose from. Hollie’s daughter is in Stage 3, which is for kids between 5-7 years of age, which means they have slighly larger handles and special bristles to surround each tooth as you brush. Hollie’s daughter was very excited to get her toothbrush and kids flossers from the Disney Princesses line. The purple toothbrush has a tongue cleaner on the back which she had no problem using, and the flossers eliminated the need for any begging from Hollie. For a child that is sensitive to strong tooth-paste flavors, the Winnie the Pooh Berry Bubble toothpaste was “good enough to eat.”

Oral-B Stages

For kids 8 years and older, there is the special Crest Pro-Health FOR ME product line, which is designed specifically for “tweens.” WiC Chick Shelly and her daughter decided to put the Crest Pro-Health FOR ME product line to the test. They were provided with Crest Pro-Health FOR ME toothpaste and fluoride rinse, and the Oral-B Pro-Health FOR ME toothbrush and floss picks.  These products got rave reviews from both mother and daughter, but I think our tween tester sums everything up nicely:

I think the flavor and the strength of the toothpaste is perfect! The fluoride rinse is not mediciney at all, and is refreshing. The toothbrush has a nice design, and I like the way the bristles feel in my mouth. They are not too hard, and they are angled, so your teeth get really clean. I like using the floss picks so much more than regular floss. The floss picks have a minty flavor and I found it easier to reach my back teeth, and get all the hard to reach places. Also, the design on the packages is really cool. Thank goodness they did not use a cartoon character! This product is truly for me, not a little kid, but still not an adult!

Crest Pro-Health FOR ME

Both the Oral-B Stages products and the Crest Pro-Health FOR ME products were winners for our kid testers. Not only did the designs appeal to them, but the kid-friendly flavors and specially designed toothbrushes made the whole experience more enjoyable.

To find the right toothcare product for your child, you can find Oral-B Stages and Crest Pro-Health FOR ME products at your local food, drug and mass merchandise stores. Prices range from $2.49 to $4.59 depending on the product.
