What ages are quip products suitable for?

quip products can be an effective tool for guiding better habits and are safe to use for ages 3 and up. 

With our Kids sonic Toothbrushes, we’d recommend supervised brushing up to age 8 to ensure that your child is practicing good technique 2 minutes a day, both morning and night. Once their first permanent molars come in at age 6, it might be time to graduate from our Small Brush Heads to our Standard Brush Heads.

All mouths are different and your child’s preferences are most important in choosing a sonic toothbrush that’s best for them. Children may perceive various sensations differently than adults, so be sure to choose the option that your child will use compliantly! If you have any questions about your child’s specific needs, we always recommend consulting their dentist first before choosing an electric toothbrush to incorporate into their daily routine.

Our Refillable Floss String is safe to use for ages 3 and up, with adult supervision up to age 8. With that said, we’d recommend beginning flossing as soon as your child’s teeth are touching side by side. This usually occurs between ages 2-3, as more of their teeth come in.

To be sure that your child is flossing thoroughly, you should floss for them to encourage this healthy habit until they’re able to floss all on their own!

If you have any questions about your child’s specific needs, we always recommend consulting their dentist first before incorporating quip into their daily routine.

What if I prefer to use a smaller Brush Head?

Any of our Sonic Toothbrush Brush Heads are compatible with all handles we offer. This means that if you prefer a smaller brush head, you’re welcome to swap out your Standard Brush Head for a Small Brush Head, anytime! 

At this time, Brush Heads compatible quip Rev Oscillating Toothbrushes and both quip Ultra™ varieties are only available in one size.

However, we always recommend consulting with your dentist to decide the best fit for you before making the switch to our Small Brush Heads.

Can I use quip with braces or false teeth?

All quip Toothbrushes should be completely fine to use with any orthodontic work, dentures, implants, or any other type of false teeth.

Though it might take a little TLC, it’s also equally important to keep flossing alongside your dental work. 

With that said, we always recommend consulting with your dentist if you have any specific questions or concerns about using quip alongside your dental work, as your dentist will know your needs best.
