Built for the years when adult teeth arrive.
The Wisdom Step by Step range is designed to evolve with your child's dental needs. This Stage 3 brush is made for ages 6 to 8, the stage when milk teeth start to come out and the first permanent molars push through at the back of the mouth. Those new molars are the most decay-prone teeth a child will ever have, and they need reaching properly.
Why is the Step by Step brush right for ages 6 to 8?
A mixed mouth of milk teeth, gaps and new adult teeth is awkward to brush. The head on this brush is compact enough to get behind the last milk molar and onto the newly erupted six-year molars, which often sit lower than the teeth around them and get missed.
The handle is full length for a growing hand, so a child can brush properly on their own while a parent checks the result. Filaments stay soft, because gums at this stage are frequently tender where teeth are coming and going.
Key Benefits:
- Compact Head: Reaches the six-year molars at the very back, where decay most often begins.
- Soft Filaments: Gentle on gums left tender by teeth erupting and shedding.
- Full-Length Handle: Sized for a growing hand and genuine independent brushing.
- Hygienic Stand: Built into the handle for clean storage between uses.
- Fun Designs: Bright colours that still appeal at school age.
How to use Wisdom Step by Step (6-8 Years):
- Preparation: Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
- Brushing: Brush twice a day for two minutes, last thing at night and one other time.
- Back Teeth: Pay particular attention to the new molars at the back of the mouth.
- Spitting: Spit out rather than rinse, so the fluoride stays on the teeth.
- Replacement: Replace every 3 months, or sooner if the filaments splay.
Ideal For:
- School Age: Suits the 6 to 8 stage of the Step by Step range.
- Mixed Dentition: Copes with milk teeth, gaps and new adult teeth together.
- First Permanent Molars: Reaches the teeth most at risk of early decay.
- Independent Brushing: For children ready to brush on their own with a parent checking.
