"When I found out I was going to become a mom, I expected a lot of challenges: introducing solids, potty training, teaching my son the basic tenets of right and wrong. One uphill battle I didn't prepare for? Tooth brushing. It turns out, it's not so easy to get a kid to effectively brush their teeth twice a day, every day, forever and ever."
"When my son was really little, I would brush for him. As he got older, he started doing it himself - while I cringed watching him give it a half-hearted 30-seconds before proudly handing me the brush with a triumphant, "All done, Mama!" As a family, my husband and I tried talking about the importance of tooth brushing, modeling consistent and effective habits, and reminding our son to grab his brush twice a day. Nothing really worked."
A parent struggled to get a child to brush teeth effectively despite modeling, reminders, and conversations. The core problem proved to be lacking the right tool, not intention. Oral-B developed the iO Kids Electric Toothbrush featuring Stitch for ages 6–12, bringing iO technology to kids with kid-friendly features. The toothbrush offers a 28-day battery life and a two-minute music timer that plays a Stitch song to signal completion and reinforce brushing. Pairing the kid version with the adult iO Series 2 encourages family brushing routines. The products aim to improve oral health and create fun family moments, and they are available at Target.
