Heed the mold warnings. They are true!
Believe the reviews regarding the mold! I was horrified to find what I had been brushing my daughter's teeth with in addition to toothpaste. It was black mold. I didn't even see it until one day I tapped it on the edge of the sink and black flakes fell out. This toothbrush was stored in the same area as the rest of the family's toothbrushes, and the rest of them are fine. I hope this review allows many children to avoid using this brush and many parents to avoid the guilt of realizing you are brushing or allowing your child to brush with a moldy toothbrush.
My daughter got sick a month after we started using this toothbrush and remained ill until a couple of days after we stopped using it 2 months later. It could be coincidence, but I feel horribly guilty.
Also, don't convince yourself you will just keep it clean or keep an eye on it. The mold starts under the top movable head, and you can't even see it. I hope the pictures do it justice.
