How does this toothbrush head size compare to a child's size?

I use it b/o I have a small, narrow bite. It's about 25% larger than a child's brush and would probably be good for a child over 6 or 7.

The brush head is flexible enough to be used by that age. It is as safe as the kids specific ones.

It's designed for smaller hands but replacement brushes are interchangeable so adults can use it as well.

Personally I like the Handy size the best. The small one (or the size down) is just to small to do a decent brushing job, and i have used the larger (the size up)(my sister had one so it was in our house, but even she didn't like it) and i find it really clumzy. Just to big to do a nice job. I don't know if this helps much, but i can tell you that i honestly get grouchy when i loose or break mine and don't have it to brush my hair with. MY hair is waist lengh, but it isn't the length that matters to me, it is the way this brush massages your scalp that is so important to me.

I use it for my three year old and fits him fine. I can put it on my head too, i think the big difference it adjust to a smaller size than an adult set.

The head of the toothbrush is a normal size as appears in the picture. Different brush heads are available. I don't know what you mean by sensitive gums. However, you can vary the amount of pressure you apply up to the point where it blinks to tell you that you are pushing too hard. There are two speeds to pick from so you should find one of them satisfactory. A certain amount of "vibration" and pressure is required to adequately clean your teeth, of course. I've found it to do a much better job then a manual toothbrush.

I think it is gentle enough to be used by a 5 year old. If the child pulls the brush out of his/her mouth while it's rotating the only thing that will happen is that water may spray onto the child or the bathroom mirror. I find it much easier on teeth and gums than some other toothbrushes like it on the market.

There are two brush heads that come with the tooth brush. My son uses the larger one, I would think the smaller one should be fine. You may want to check out the different sizes of replacement brushes to see what you think.

The Kids Sonicare brushes come in 2 sizes. You will need the larger size. :)

first let me say this is a soft brush, but then im used to military style and compared to that its soft. a child should be able to handle the brush easily as the handle is fairly short and stubby. the grip of the handle is a bit less than 3 inches and approx. 3/4 wide at the base and a bit less then 3/4 inches thick. I have short hair and this brush works fine but it is not the type that makes your scalp feel like it got a rake run over it. all in all I would think it would work and you always have amazons guarantee. I hope this helped you

It's a full hairbrush size. I wasn't happy with this product as the bristles were not natural but very hard. I cut the long part of the bristles off but that really didn't help using it.Penny in Oregon

The one I purchased fits a child's head size large. However, I have seen the same model on adults at the skateparks. Comfortwise, my son says this model is much cooler since it does not have a styrofoam liner like most do. I would say find the size you need, it will be worth your while.

Small, I think. I bought this for my son- in-law, and his head is a little bigger, so I got him a Med. and it fits fine. Hope this helps...

The HX6311/07 comes with a full sized head, much too large for a 4 year old. This compact head is the perfect size for children.

It's head is much oversized and isn't very light weight. It's just the right size for my 6 year old.

Hmmm, I'm not sure on that one. My son is 10 and has an average size head and it's perfect. I would guess unless your 4 year old has a big noggin this won't work. Sorry. Hope I helped.
