Calling any dentists or teeth experts - I can't get ds teeth clean, which brush?

[BalletMum]

My ds aged 6 has always had really deep cavities in his teeth where food gets stuck in them. I have been through every toothbrush on the market and the children's ones just seem to be so soft they don't really clean the teeth and so last little more than a week with all my scrubbing. An adult compact brush works better but I can't seem to find one any more. It looks like they have stopped making any with a really small head. I have bought the smallest I can but just too big to get between his back teeth. What shall I do?

Had a thought that an electric one might be better - any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

The electric ones are good and they have a small head

Which make one as there is so much choice in Boots I get completely baffled!!

Definitely try electric - I have used one with my ds since he was about 2. We have had dinoaurs and now we have a fire engine (Tesco). It's great
Also, you should be cleaning his teeth and not letting him do it on his own. He can dingle around after you have done it
I also let my ds play with running tap and jug, sponge etc whilst I am cleaning his teeth.
Hope that helps

Thank you all, will look for electric one as you suggest. Many thanks.

I had an electric and I've now gone to sonic which is even better IMO - well it certainly cleans them better.

The only one that does a teeny head is the philips sonicare. HTH

I have problem teeth, and my dentist suggested a Sonic Care. She also said to avoid other electric toothbrushes as they are hard on the gums.
