A tale as old as time… Despite all your efforts, for one reason or another, your child does not enjoy brushing their teeth. Hygiene of any kind can be a point of contention for new parents and parents of young children alike. Brushing teeth, in particular, requires in-person supervision, which takes time from other equally important household activities for the family.
The Struggle of Establishing a Routine
It can be difficult for parents to establish and reinforce a good hygiene routine for their children. Parents have become experts at creatively finding new ways to engage their children with these practices. These tactics might involve making up songs, setting up reward charts, offering gifts, and so on.
Moving From Distraction to Education
The objective of these methods is to incentivize our children to establish a routine and teach effective brushing techniques. However, we are often simply creating distractions rather than building proper habits. In order to implement long-lasting oral hygiene habits effectively, we must focus on education. Once our children understand the value of proper dental care and the consequences that may result from neglecting their home care routine, they will naturally feel rewarded in this experience.
Enter BLÜ KIDS: Independence in Brushing
After many failed attempts at methods to keep kids engaged and educated, we found BLÜ. The BLÜ KIDS Toothbrush takes brushing from feeling like a chore to being an enriching experience that children will recognize as a stamp of their independence. The brush interactively guides users through their brushing routine and maintains records of each use, while alleviating the battle for parents.
How the Smart Technology Works
I bet you’re wondering how it works. Well, it’s easy. BLÜ KIDS, and the BLÜ Toothbrush for adults, both work in tandem with the app of the same name. They connect using Bluetooth technology to detect the brush’s movements as it travels through the mouth.
The app tracks progress from blue to white—or dirty to clean—in real time! Kids will find this feature not only helpful, as it guides them through the proper techniques, but also gratifying. Seeing a digital model of their clean mouth at the end of the brushing session serves as a symbolic badge of a job well done.
Remote Monitoring for Parents
What’s best is that you do not need to be physically present to monitor progress. Parents receive immediate notifications from BLÜ anywhere they are. By sharing results—the good ones and the not-so-good ones—you will be able to see the areas missed during the session and even restart the process.
You can add multiple users to the app and track them individually. You can also share results with other users, like friends or dental care professionals. Through our Dental Portal, dentists and hygienists can even add home care instructions.
Five Specialized Cleaning Modes
Additionally, it is worth noting that the BLÜ KIDS Toothbrush comes with five brush modes that cater to the user’s various and very specific cleaning needs:
-
Clean: For a clinical-grade brushing experience.
-
White: Removes surface stains.
-
Sensitive: Gentle teeth and gum cleaning.
-
Soft: Gently massages gums.
-
Polish: Dental polishing to whiten the teeth.
