Oral disease affects 3.9 billion people worldwide, impacting almost half the world’s population. One thing all parents wish to leave for our kids is a set of strong, healthy teeth to accompany them for the rest of their life. This cannot be done unless they cultivate good oral habits from young. However, this is easier said then done.
While we can train (and nag) our kids day and night to brush their teeth, having them brush their teeth properly and willingly is a different thing altogether. Parents would concur it’s in fact often an uphill battle! We’ve heard horror stories of how even kids as young as 2-year olds had to undergo root canal surgeries. Even for our 9-year old daughter, we’ve recently discovered that she’s been lazy and not been brushing her teeth conscientiously.
This is where the Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush (HX6321/03) saves the day and can help us win the fight against oral disease.
The Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush (HX6321/03) is a Bluetooth-enabled interactive toothbrush that helps kids visualize their brushing so that they learn proper teeth-brushing techniques in a fun and educational way.
How, you may ask?
- Personal brushing coach in interactive app
The Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush comes with an ingenious coaching app that gets kids excited about brushing. The app synchs with the sonic toothbrush to help kids learn about oral care through play. Each session starts with clear visual instructions about correct brushing techniques and the app’s progress monitor tracks the total performance. The brushing ‘coach’ then challenges them to brush for longer and better. Kids learn while having fun, and parents get to see how well kids are doing in between dental check ups. The app shows proper brushing techniques and track performance so kids can see how well they brush, and earn exciting rewards for a job well done. It’s really quite cool!

2. Exciting rewards for successful brushing sessions
The app’s central character is the lovable ‘Sparkly’, who really likes to have clean teeth. Each time our kids brush well, Sparkly gets happier and each successful brushing session will be rewarded. Kids can unlock accessories to personalize their Sparkly, or they can win food for Sparkly, who likes to eat healthy. This app is a hit with even with our 3 year old. Buddy was motivated to brush longer and better so that he can redeem a reward for Sparkly. Dana decided to rename her Sparkly as ‘Fluffy’ to differentiate from her brother’s. Kids really look forward to using the app and indirectly look forward to brushing their teeth.
3. KidTimer and KidPacer musical encouragement
When using the app, kids will be asked to mimic the app’s brushing coach to carefully brush each section of its mouth. The KidPacer is a 30 seconds interval timer with fun sounds to let our kids know when to move to the next quadrant of their mouth. The KidsTimer encourages kids to brush longer, and when they do so, they’ll be rewarded by their Sparkly, who’s happy with its really clean teeth. The aim is that gradually, kids will develop the habit of brushing for at least two minutes, as recommended by dentists. This is good training for a lifetime of good oral hygiene.
4. Quadpacer allows tracking of brushing time and techniques
The app’s Quadpacer tracks brushing sessions in real time. It recognizes when a brushing session starts, pauses and is completed. Thanks to an integrated memory and time stamp on the toothbrush handle, parents can save the details of up to 20 brushing sessions when we’re not using the app. Next time, we use the app, the details of those sessions are synced to the app’s calendar so our kids can easily see how far they’ve progressed and if they’ve missed brushing their teeth on any day.
5. Dynamic cleaning action
As kids learn to brush, the unique dynamic action of the toothbrush gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and along the gum line. With over 500 strokes per second, sonic cleaning power compensates for children’s developing (i.e. not-so-effective) techniques at brushing. This technology makes the Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush up to 75% more effective than manual toothbrushes, resulting in less dental problems.
6. Fun interchangeable stickers
This was a biggie for us. Fun handle stickers let kids personalize the look of their toothbrush. With eight interchangeable designs inside every sonic toothbrush box, kids can give their brush a new look as often as they want. The stickers and the sticker panel can be removed and re-attached as often as the kids desire to keep it novel. This makes the daily routine of teeth-brushing more enjoyable for the kids.
7. Other kid-friendly features
The Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush comes with two kid-friendly power modes which provide proper cleaning for different ages; a low mode for younger children and high mode for older kids. The rubberized brush head of this electric toothbrush is designed to protect children’s growing teeth. The steady grip ensures smaller hands can easily maneuver the brush on their own, while the spacious design leaves room for parents to help when need be. The sturdy handle design makes it easy for kids to store the toothbrush in an upright position, or apply toothpaste while the toothbrush is laying flat.
User Experience:
Both our kids really took to liking the Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrushes really fast. It’s amazing how customization can build a strong sense of ownership. Once Dana and Buddy each chose their own stickers and stuck them on, there was an instant virtual attachment to their toothbrushes. The app was a huge motivation and we’ve never seen them so eager to brush their teeth ever.
As parents, we are so pleased to see both kids following the prompts for brushing. At the end of each session, the kids look forward to receiving new ‘rewards’ in the app. All these innovative features take the chore out of tooth-brushing and encourage our kids to take proper care of their teeth.
The Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush (HX6321/03) is truly revolutionary toothbrush that is designed to help all parents win the battle against reluctant, improper tooth-brushing! It currently retails at SGD99 at Philips e-shop and all major electronic stores. With 2 years warranty by Philips Singapore.

My girl always never brush her teeth patiently..she will just random brush for a few seconds and rinse off. Been telling her to take care of her teeth but in vain.
I believe this Sonicare definitely will attract her n encourage her to brush more effectively.
I love the Kid Timer & Kid Pacer Musical encouragement and Dynamic Cleaning Action which surely will help me solve my prob on her oral hygiene!
Biggest challenge is I can’t tell if the kids are brushing their teeth correctly. They need to be supervised at all time to ensure they are doing it the right way. On top of this they need consistent reminder
The features that capture my interest are the dynamic cleaning action and kids friendly power mode where this was my biggest challenges to see that they are doing it correctly and cleanly.
My girl will tend to find excuse to skip brushing her teeth in the morning and night especially when she she’s tired or when she’s not fully awake in the morning. With the rewards given upon successful brushing sessions, I’m sure this would be a great motivation to take initiative and be willing to brush her own teeth.
Another concern which I have is that she tends to be slipshod when brushing her teeth. Food are still stuck in her teeth because she didn’t do a thorough job. She just wants to be quick and get it done and over. I like how the unique dynamic action of the philips toothbrush gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and along the gum line. This would put me at ease that her teeth would be cleaned properly.
The biggest challenge is getting my 3 years old toddler to brush teeth daily . Sometimes she’s willing to brush , sometimes she refuses & create a big fuss .
The reward system is able to be of great help as kids always love rewards after doing something .
Getting my boys to brush their teeth and ensuring that they did it properly is my biggest challenge!!!
Quadpacer would definitely be one of the useful tools to help me monitor my boys brushing and technique to be sure that they are doing it right 🙂
The exciting rewards would also entice the kids to brush their teeth diligently 🙂
Hope to win for the boys 🙂

The biggest challenge is to get my kids to brush their teeth because they hated it! I hope this electric toothbrush will give them a chance to enjoy brushing their teeth!
My biggest challenge is my Gal’s not brushing her teeth “clean enough, long enough and through enough”
The two major thing that may entice my gal in good brushing habit is the Personal Brushing Coach and adopting the Uber Cute Sparkly which my gal will be so motivated and interested to “brush properly and dilligently” so that She can take care of her New Dental-Friend 🙂
The Dynamic Cleaning Action is the next best to “help” my gal in her daily brushing techniques, with its revolutionary brush that deep cleanses her teeth and gum.
She is on her way to a Healthy and Bright Smile!

Fun Interchangeable Stickers
Dynamic Cleaning Action
Cute stickers would make my kids fall in love with the toothbrush & want to use it often , & the dynamic cleaning action will help to keep their teeth clean and healthy everyday.
I find that its really hard to tell the children how to brush their teeth the correct way, They usually will just brush a few times and that’s it.
The Dynamic Cleaning Action and Quadpacer allows tracking of brushing time and techniques will ensure thorough and effective brushing of their teeth, It would be good to develop a good brushing habit from young and this toothbrush is their motivation.
The biggest challenge is to make brushing a habit for them.
I think the fun interchangeable stickers and exciting rewards for successful brushing sessions will entice and motivate them to cultivate the good habit!
The biggest challenge is to get them to pick up the tooth brush as they hate to do that
If i get to win this, i think they will be more willing to brush as they just need to move the brush around and it will auto do the work

1. The kids see it as a huge chore to brush their teeth and are unwilling to spend reasonable amt of time.
2. Kid Timer and Kid pacer makes it fun to brush and exciting rewards to make brushing rewarding and fun!
1) The biggest challenge with my kids is they feel brushing is a competition, who can finish first not who can do it properly. Constant reminder to brush their teeth properly & to wash the brush thoroughly.
2) Kid timer & Kid pacer musical encouragement along with Dynamic cleaning action sounds like a perfect solution for my concerns to guide them for perfect technique & help them to develop the right way of brushing. It is really important with our present eating habits.
