These are brushes that have the button on the bottom that activates a flashing light. The light flashes and will serve as a clock in the brushing. When the light stops flashing then brushing time is over. In my case, I can personally recommend the toothbrush that my son has used since it started to wash her pearly whites. Chicco toothbrushes have ergonomic handles, soft, specially designed to fit into small hands of thy son. He strands with rounded points that clean effectively without damaging the enamel. Brush head has rounded corners to prevent gum irritation. When I brought my son to choose which color he wants, she picked the pink on blue.

I like the fact that the toothpaste contains fluoride salts soluble which prevent the formation of tartar and tooth structure.
