THE FIREFLY® FAMILY

Fact Sheet

Does your child give tooth brushing short shrift?  Add some pizzazz and a little “character” to the routine and watch him/her brighten at the prospect of spending the requisite time at the sink.  From Dr. Fresh®, the leader in children’s oral care, comes a family of light-up timer character toothbrushes that dazzle, delight and defend against cavities.  Choose the original colorful and sparkly FireFly® or indulge your kid’s passion for dolls, cartoons or comics with the likes of Hello Kitty, Barbie, Spider-Man, Batman or Superman models.  Each lights up at the touch of a button and flashes for one minute — the time dentists say is needed to thoroughly brush each row of teeth.
