Hum by Colgate Kids Battery Powered Smart Toothbrush, Coral

I got two of these for my boys and it’s been a game changer. They like to brush their teeth now, my seven year old ASKS to brush his teeth. And while I expect the "coolness” and excitement to wear off at some point, in the mean time they are learning how to brush better and brushing longer than the typical 30 seconds, creating what I hope to be lasting good habits. It cleans well, is easy to use and I like the soft bristles. A definite win.

I sing this toothbrush’s praises all the time! My 5 year old granddaughter brushed her teeth but not effectively. This thing is Fabulous! She puts her tablet on the bathroom counter so the camera can see her face, the toothbrush has a program that is a game and shows her where to brush the little plaque 🐞 bugs away for so many seconds in each part of her mouth. It doesn’t have her move on until she’s been brushing that section long enough. Once she’s brushed away all the plaque characters she wins and gets to take a picture with a crown, hat, or other funny character pictures. There are dozens of brushing games and themes she can pick. It’s easy to do but fun for them to go through. The battery life goes on forever!!! I’m telling you, this thing is the best toothbrush made for kids. I just bought another one to stay at Gigi’s house.

If you’re trying to teach your toddler to child great brushing habits, THIS is it. It’s super fun to hear music as you’re brushing, and to have a guide where you’re supposed to brush and for how long! The game makes it fun for kids and my little one was excited every single day to see what filters they unlocked or could purchase with the in game diamonds they’ve earned!! It’s made them a better brusher for sure, and now ever without the app they know how to brush properly and for a longer period of time! The app itself is a little glitchy, sometimes it doesn’t follow the markings on the toothbrush well and your child can be brushing great along with the game, but they’re not earning diamonds because the app isn’t tracking the brush. That part kind of sucks, my kid was definitely gipped on diamonds. Other than that, the batteries last a long time in the toothbrush and it’s a great teaching system! Highly recommend!

It's such a fight to get my 4 year old son to brush his teeth at all, and when we can get him to, it lasts maybe 5-10 seconds before he says he's "done!" Then we have to fight him again to re-brush them and go back and forth, making his bedtime routine a dreaded time for all of us. I finally caved and bought this and it has made such a difference. He feels lucky that he gets screen time to play a game right before bed, and he does a much more thorough job at brushing his teeth. I like that at the end of each round it shows how well he brushed with a diagram of white and yellow teeth, indicating which areas need more work so that we can go back and help him with those spots. My only complaints: 1) the app often loses the magic toothbrush tracking and will tell him they can't see it, so I have to move the phone around quite a bit mid-game, and it makes him frustrated when his score comes in lower than it should. 2) I wish there were some variances in the levels. My son bores easily, and aside from the fact that you win different masks and the themes of the lands look different, the overall flow and mechanics of the "game" are the same every single time. Maybe we need to level up more to see something new or interesting, but it's been a month or so since we've used it and he is no longer as interested in brushing his teeth as before. 3) this one is more of a personal preference, but - for some reason it always takes my son a few seconds to get going when the brushing starts so the top left side of his mouth always shows his teeth are yellow at the end, meaning he didn't brush that side well. I wish they would start on different sides of the mouth each time so that it gives him a chance to brush better on that side. Overall, this is a much better solution to anything else we've tried and so I would recommend. Our nephew saw my son brushing his teeth one night and wants one now too!

I have two boys (7 and 8) and getting them to brush was a fight every day. Now they ask me when they get to play their toothbrushing game. The app is easy to use, they love the masks and getting stars at the end of each level, and now I know they're hitting all of the right spots when they brush. I did take the advice of another poster here and just got one plus the replacement heads, they have their toothbrush head marked and just switch out, I'm glad we did! Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite purchases ever.

This is such a wonderful concept and a win-win. Parents can see which teeth still need a good brush and see kids learning how to brush properly. Kids are getting more independence and fun in their routine. The app is thoughtfully detailed and full of adventures. I appreciate that the app builds in a ton of small and large rewards to keep kids motivated and attentive to good brushing habits.

When I received the toothbrush, the package it came in was severely bent and I couldn't open it (I'm not talking about the shipping box, I mean the literal toothbrush box/container). I was surprised they sent it in that rough of condition and luckily it wasn't broken. After I managed to get it open, my daughter, age 5, tried it. It was a little confusing at first and I had issues setting it up and accessing the app to the toothbrush, but once we got a hang of it my daughter loved it! She is now asking to brush her teeth a lot more. I'd definitely recommend it and I will be buying it for my other kids as well. It also came with a tube of Colgate toothpaste.

We've been struggling for years to get our sensitive (sensory disorder) kiddo to actually brush his teeth. This toothbrush system finally did the trick. It is easy to set up on a smart phone, and then senses the position of the toothbrush to give 'rewards' to the kiddo as they play the game of trying to brush in the right area at the right time. It's very effective at making sure our kiddo brushes long enough and equally on all sides of his teeth. It can be a bit challenging to stay in the view of the phone so it might not work for a kiddo who has a hard time controlling their movements.
