A member asked:

I saw a new type of toothbrush for toddlers at the store, called a nuk "surround" toothbrush. is this type better than a normal toddler toothbrush?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More effective?: ...Supposedly because it brushes both sides of the tooth (check and tongue) at the same time.

Dr Donley agreed
