How well will it work if an adult slipped it on his/her index finger and used it to brush his/her own teeth? Thanx

It would work okay, the bristles are rubber and not as hard as a normal toothbrush since its made for babies but if needed an adult could use it

I don't think it would be effective for someone who actually needed clean teeth. I think it's more designed to develop comfort with oral hygiene routines on the flat teeth babies start out with, rather than thorough cleaning on adult teeth. Also the hole that your finger is supposed to fit in is pretty slim; my finger doesn't fit in it all the way. That's better for a baby because their mouths are so small, if it was bigger it wouldn't be able to brush. But I think it would be difficult on adult teeth.

I have not tried it, but I doubt it very much because it is quite loose on my fingers, which aren't very large for an adult, but much larger than a small child's.

As long as you don't have a heavy finger, you can control it pretty well. Just like any other one though, you push too hard it'll show it's worth lol bought one or work, use it frequently.

It probably won't work on their finger but often works on their big toe. Just make sure the toe covers the red dot.

I would think that if you could put the gel on a piece of cloth wrapped around your finger it would work just fine. I don't think just squirting the gel in his mouth is going to do the trick though. Good luck!

Not sure, but I highly doubt that it will. It doesn't work well on adults if you hands are even slightly cold or recently washed.

I used it for my 2YO. It was a fun motivation for brushing, but they were a little freaked out by the noise at first. I think it's intended for a little bit older kids...your call.

It can be used by adults....I just don't think it's a very good product. I might not have the "touch" to make it work properly.

We use it on our daughter, who is 2 years old. She plays at brushing her teeth with it and thinks it is great fun.

No, do not brush it on....from the syringe, press out a very, very small dot on the end of your index finger and massage into sore areas of gum and/or teeth. It works instantly to relieve discomfort. Start with less than you think you need untill you get the hang of it. It is great stuff and you'll be glad you have it. It slips around on your finger and gum, but persist using a very small amount at a time, so you don't waste it. I love it!

It is fairly course but not enough to abrade your fingers. I use it much the same as you might to provide extra grip on a handle. Be sure to clean the surface well before you apply tape. Regular alcohol works great for this.

Its a pocket pal. Used for masturbating with your hand. What you see in the picture you would add some lube inside and then palm it and your ready to go. Its going to go as fast or slow as you go. Its going to be as tight or loose as your grip. It may stay on without your hand. It will do absolutely nothing with out your guidance.

I got this just for my bottom teeth. While nothing is as good as our real teeth this works wonderfully for me. I can now eat whatever I want. Still have problems with food getting under my teeth but I just have to rinse them off and all better! I use this all the time now. Good luck!

Hi - I would not buy it for someone that young...I'd be afraid they could choke on it. I've had it fall out of my mouth a couple of times, and it fits very loosely inside. I'm not a big fan of it, but have continued to try it to get used to the fit. My recommendation would be the one's you custom mold to your bite. They are about $70 on amazon but $300+ from your dentist. I liked mine a lot, but my dog ate it (2nd one), so I decided to try this. Good luck.

I ordered this to use for my 18 month old daughter who sucks her thumb relentlessly. The idea behind the device is good, but it is not a good fit for her because too much condensation builds up in the area surrounding her thumb causing her skin to stay in a constant moist state. That being stated, the device could technically be used on the index finger, but I wouldn't advise it because I don't think it will be very comfortable for your child. I have resorted to covering my daughter's hand with a sock and securing it with medical tape. The sock method works the best for her; it's breathable, keeps her thumb out of her mouth and she is still able to grasp onto things.

The brush head/bristles are small but we used them for ourselves and our 2 year old. Our dentist recommended using a small brush for ourselves as adults to scrub better.

No, not really... I have used it with kids, but I am not sure it is adult-ish
