Brush Fun Brush Longer | Tooth Tunes makes brushing teeth fun for my boys. I’m thrilled Tooth Tunes gave me the opportunity to write this sponsored post!
I have always had trouble with my boys brushing their teeth. When they were younger I thought it was because they didn’t have good dexterity. You know all those parenting magazines you read when your children are young? I had read in one of those that children need helping brushing their teeth until about age 7 because of dexterity issues. I helped on and off always trying to encourage them to brush better. Years ticked by and I realized it wasn’t a dexterity thing, it was a ‘boy’ thing with my two. You know that ‘boy’ thing that makes them want to be moving all the time? It’s same reason they usually aren’t good at sitting and reading a book or anything that doesn’t include destroying or blowing something up? Yeah, that. For my boys, it comes down to the simple fact that they don’t want to spend time brushing when they could be doing 100 other more active, more destructive things!
It was a much welcome surprise when Tooth Tunes asked me to test their toothbrushes! Bring it. I will try anything if it means getting my two boys to brush longer!
I’m sure I”m not the only Mom that struggles to get her children to brush properly and for the recommended length of time! Dentist recommend that children brush for two minutes, two times a day. Two minutes is a long time for young children. The good news is Tooth Tunes makes it fun to brush for two minutes.
What are Tooth Tunes?
Arm & Hammer Tooth Tunes and Tooth Tunes Jr are tooth brushes with one-of-a-kind technology that streams sound vibrations from the bristles of the toothbrush through the teeth. This allows kids to hear the music while they are brushing. The music lasts for a full two minutes. Children are supposed to brush for the music stops. Each Tooth Tunes comes programmed with a different song; there are a lot to choose from.
Popular songs include:
- “One Thing” by One Direction
- “We Found Love” by Rihanna
- “We Will Rock You” by Queen
- Tooth Tunes Jr. “The Alphabet Song”
- Tooth Tunes Jr. “Brush-a-long Song”
- And so much more!
Additionally, the brushes come in two sizes, regular and junior. The easy-to-grasp handles and buttons are great for small fingers. The junior has a smaller brush head and handle making it easy to grasp for the smallest of fingers.
My boys are having a lot of fun with the new Tooth Tunes. You can’t really hear the music unless the bristles are touching the teeth, so this makes sure the boys are actually brushing. In fact, yes, they are brushing longer.
Remember:
- Choose sugary foods less often
- Avoid sweets between meals
- Eat a variety of low or non-fat foods from the basic groups
- Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste after snacks and meals
- Use Tooth Tunes tooth brushes
What about you, do you have any brushing tips? Do you help your kids brush?

Hey, Paula, I’m not sure what happened, but your group board, **Best Family Recipes,** has disappeared from my boards on Pinterest. Do you know what happened?
Paula says
I’m in the process of cleaning it up, a lot of spammers and bad pins, duplicate pins, horizontal pins had been added. After I clean it up I’ll be adding back.

Hahaha your boys are so adorable! I love how silly and into it they got in all the videos 🙂 These toothbrushes sound perfect for my lil guy! He could groove and dance to the songs while he brushes – so cool!
Paula says
It really is helping them brush longer! And, yes, they’re nuts! 🙂 They keep me laughing!
Zainab says

I wouldn’t mind having one of those for myself. 😉 I think I will stick one in each of the kid’s stockings this Christmas and see what they think, LOL

Paula, I would love to be a contributor on your Best Family Recipes board. My pinterest ID is http://www.pinterest.com/teresaambra. I make main dish recipes all the time and would love to contribute within your guidelines.
You know, I’ve never told you this, but last year you did a post that helped me as a blogger tremendously. You were talking about slow blog speeds from pictures and ads, etc. and how new visitors (and old) won’t want to stay on websites where it takes forever to download each page. You were right! I looked into it and that began a process (since last September) of going through each recipe post (over 860) and cutting out excess pictures, resizing them and cleaning them up, and adding a recipe card. It takes me about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to do each one so it’s time consuming but all of those reposts look and load a lot better. Now instead of a minute download speed on each post, the posts download in about 5 seconds or so. I will always be indebted to your for making me aware of this issue and for being willing to share guidance and wisdom to help others. Thanks again, Teresa.

Thank you so much for telling me. I know a lot of bloggers start with having a background on computer technology and such, but I didn’t. I’m glad my little post helped, there is just so much to learn and I’m still learning. I just invited you to the board, lmk if you don’t get it.

Ha! I love these! 🙂 While my teenage son could really use something to make him brush his teeth longer and better, I have a feeling that my 2 year old daughter would be a little more into these. 😉 What a fun way to get the kiddos to brush their teeth for longer!
