For many parents, especially those who have children with limited mobility, sensory sensitivities, or simply are not interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toothclues.com\/kids-dental-checkups-and-cleanings.html\">brushing their teeth<\/a>, the Autobrush has completely changed what brushing looks like. The question is, is it just for show, or does it actually have the ability to clean your child\u2019s teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The World\u2019s Only ADA-Accepted, U-Shaped Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Autobrush officially has the Seal of Approval from the American Dental Association, which means that it has been clinically proven to be effective at brushing teeth. In fact, the Autobrush is up to <a href=\"https:\/\/tryautobrush.com\/pages\/clinical-study?pb=0\">5.1X more effective<\/a> at scrubbing away plaque from the entire mouth compared to traditional toothbrushes. So, not only is it effective, but it has also been thoroughly tested for proven success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, What is the Autobrush?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Autobrush is a U-shaped, mouthguard-like designed toothbrush that is lined with soft bristles. Offering 360-degree coverage, it can easily clean all the surfaces of your child\u2019s teeth simultaneously and efficiently. After applying the foaming toothpaste to the bristled portion of the mouthpiece, all that is required is 30 seconds of gentle rotation for a thorough clean. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Benefit from Using an Autobrush?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Autobrush comes in different sizes for both kids and adults, but it is an excellent option for children of all ages. It makes brushing fun, fast, and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Autobrush is <em>especially<\/em> ideal for those who are neurodiverse and have sensory processing sensitivities, as well as those who have mobility challenges. Because minimal dexterity is required, and the Autobrush delivers an even more effective clean in less time than with a traditional toothbrush, it truly is an excellent option for every child. Additionally, the Autobrush allows children with disabilities greater control over their oral hygiene routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As traditional toothbrushes are not designed with everyone in mind, the Autobrush is a truly revolutionary invention and possibly something to discuss with your pediatric dentist if an effective homecare routine is challenging for your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Takiar, known as Agent T by her patients, is a knowledgeable, Board-Certified pediatric dentist. She is passionate about providing helpful education to parents and her patients alike, answering any questions they may have and helping them make the best decisions for their child\u2019s health.
