Finding the right toothbrush and toothpaste can be a long journey, especially for someone with sensory sensitivities.

For our son, Oranurse toothpaste works really well. It is unflavored which has been a huge plus, and doesn’t foam as much as standard toothpaste. We haven’t been able to find it in any local shops so we order it online and make sure to buy a new tube before we run out.
He also loves using a toothbrush with his favourite character on. Most character toothbrushes seem to be designed for younger children and have softer bristle brushes. At this stage though, I’m just happy he is brushing his teeth, even if it isn’t the toothbrush that’s usually recommended for his age.

For my daughter, HiSmile toothpaste has been a great choice. She loves all the different flavours. They aren’t as strong as the traditional mint toothpaste, so she finds this much more pleasant to use and enjoys picking a new flavour each time she needs a new one.

Every person is different, but these are the one that have made toothbrushing easier in our home. If you have found something that works well for you or your family we would love to hear about it.
