Hum by Colgate Kids Battery Powered Smart Toothbrush, Coral

I got two of these for my boys and it’s been a game changer. They like to brush their teeth now, my seven year old ASKS to brush his teeth. And while I expect the "coolness” and excitement to wear off at some point, in the mean time they are learning how to brush better and brushing longer than the typical 30 seconds, creating what I hope to be lasting good habits.It cleans well, is easy to use and I like the soft bristles. A definite win.

I sing this toothbrush’s praises all the time! My 5 year old granddaughter brushed her teeth but not effectively. This thing is Fabulous! She puts her tablet on the bathroom counter so the camera can see her face, the toothbrush has a program that is a game and shows her where to brush the little plaque 🐞 bugs away for so many seconds in each part of her mouth. It doesn’t have her move on until she’s been brushing that section long enough. Once she’s brushed away all the plaque characters she wins and gets to take a picture with a crown, hat, or other funny character pictures. There are dozens of brushing games and themes she can pick. It’s easy to do but fun for them to go through. The battery life goes on forever!!! I’m telling you, this thing is the best toothbrush made for kids. I just bought another one to stay at Gigi’s house.

This is such a wonderful concept and a win-win. Parents can see which teeth still need a good brush and see kids learning how to brush properly. Kids are getting more independence and fun in their routine. The app is thoughtfully detailed and full of adventures. I appreciate that the app builds in a ton of small and large rewards to keep kids motivated and attentive to good brushing habits.

The toothbrushes are not connected to the app in any way, the app can somehow use the dots on the bottom of the brush to know where the brush is in the mouth. This is the page for the automated brushing toothbrush but there is a manual one as well that is cheaper and it is all you need to work with the Hum app/game. Also I think even a non-HUM toothbrush would work as there was a choice for that but I guess not as well.I have a 2-yo and a 3-yo and both are able to use one automated Hum toothbrush. It's not really worth getting them each one because only one can use the app/game at a time anyway, just get extra heads if you are squeamish. There is a spot in the game where you can give each kid their own profile so they are each playing their own game.This has really transformed toothbrushing time for me, it was looking like I was going to have to hold my younger child down to get his teeth brushed but now he really likes to do it. At 2 he's not great at the game but it's a lot better than the one-second swipe it used to be. And my 3-almost-4 year old does great with the game and it helps her to get all her teeth. It was such a hassle we used to only brush once a day but now they are begging to brush twice a day. Thank you Colgate!

I have two boys (7 and 8) and getting them to brush was a fight every day. Now they ask me when they get to play their toothbrushing game. The app is easy to use, they love the masks and getting stars at the end of each level, and now I know they're hitting all of the right spots when they brush.I did take the advice of another poster here and just got one plus the replacement heads, they have their toothbrush head marked and just switch out, I'm glad we did!Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite purchases ever.

My 4.5?year old son loves this! It actually makes toothbrushing fun so I don’t have to ask him to do it twice. His favorite part is the mask rewards that he gets to use to take silly pictures.

My daughter LOVES this!The app is such a great incentive.My daughter used to dread brushing her teeth. Since getting this she looks forward to it and asks to do it throughout the day as well. The battery life has been great so far. I have to replace the batteries once every 4-6 months.

DO NOT BUY! It’s impossible to find replacement tooth brushes. It’s a great concept but if you can’t find replacement heads what’s the point. Do better Colgate!
