Let’s face it, most children do not like to brush their teeth. Arguing with or bribing their kids to brush is tiring and frustrating for parents. The AutoBrush® for Kids is an automatic toothbrush that can help make oral hygiene fun and motivate children to brush without a fight. It’s u-shaped brush head contains up to 25,000 ultra-soft nylon bristles. It has three cleaning modes, three light modes, and two timing modes (30 and 60 seconds). Children also have the option to brush with or without a musical tune. It is available in four cute animal designs.
Available in Bubblegum and Strawberry flavors, AutoBrush® foaming toothpaste is non-GMO and vegan. It is also fluoride, gluten, and SLS free. If preferred, a traditional fluoridated toothpaste may also be used.
The AutoBrush® Pro: Kids Total Package contains one AutoBrush®, one nylon brush head, one tongue scraper attachment, one package of 50 hydroxyapatite threaded flossers, one foam toothpaste, and a charging unit. Also included for extra motivation are a brushing calendar and stickers.
The AutoBrush® is also available for adults!

Initial Insights
My son was actually excited to try this brush. He really liked the light feature.
I would like to learn more about the flossers with hydroxyapatite and the Nano Silver Technology used in the toothpaste.
It’s nice that my very picky son can still use his “regular toothpaste.”
Good tool to help motivate kids to brush!
This would be great for adults with limited dexterity and those that need caregivers to help with brushing.

Nice mint flavor.
I love the idea of the spray. Leaving the denture in the mouth prevents a potentially embarrassing situation!

Fluorilaq™ Squeeze from Pascal®International, Inc. is available in a pre-mixed 9.5ml container. The nano suspension of 5% sodium fluoride and xylitol will not separate, eliminating the need for mixing. The “Micro-Precise” nozzle is designed to allow clinicians to dispense only what is needed, preventing wasted varnish. By placing droplets of varnish onto the back of a glove, clinicians can avoid going back and forth between the tray and the patient’s mouth.
This varnish contains no gluten, saccharin, aspartame, or tree nut allergens, and is n-hexane free.
Contents of each kit include one 9.5ml bottle of pre-mixed nano suspension of 5% sodium fluoride with xylitol, 30 brushes, and instructions for use.
Fluorilaq™ Squeeze is available in three flavors: Salted Caramel, Bubblegum and Fresh Mint.
Initial Insights
I have multiple patients that only need varnish on a few sensitive root surfaces and this works perfectly!
The back of the glove technique is much faster and easier than going back and forth to the tray. The varnish was not runny and the droplets stayed put on the back of my hand.
We have to throw away so much stuff in dentistry and it’s nice to use a product that doesn’t create so much waste. The bottle is even recyclable.
