Bluetooth for better teeth

The interactive connectivity of the new Sonicare for Kids Connected tooth brush is not there just for fun (although it is designed to make brushing fun); it generates tangible and measurable results.  The brush is proven to deliver superior clinical results as kids learn to clean their teeth more effectively, with 98 per cent of parents surveyed stating that it is easier to get their kids to brush for longer and better.

The new Sonicare for Kids Connected is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology and a free interactive coaching app. The brush’s connectivity technology enables it to synch with the coaching app on a tablet or smartphone.  Parents download the app which includes personal brushing instructions designed especially for kids which offers real time guidance designed to increase brushing performance, as well as tracking and training to increase compliance. The child navigates the app with the help of their oral health training partner Sparkly who takes them through a series of fun, educational games which are pedagogically designed to help them learn correct brushing techniques and to brush for longer. The Bluetooth wireless technology in the brush’s handle tells the app how long the child is brushing for and encourages a gradual increase to build the habit of brushing independently for two minutes twice a day. Sparkly’s mouth acts as a visual brushing guide, teaching the child to pay equal attention to each quadrant of their mouth.
