Where can I buy an electric Thomas the Tank/Fireman Sam electric toothbrush?
Answer:
Try one of the new toothtunes they play a 2 min. song while you brush and they have plenty to choose from, you can get them at walmart.and check this out if you decide to get one for her you can go to their website and listen to samples of the music (you could even buy it online last i checked it ran about the same price as walmart) so she can even choose the song before you buy..
I have seen them in Super Drug.
Could it be that it's the toothpaste she dislikes.
You could try letting her 'brush' her teeth with her fingers rather than a brush.
did you try ebay, if not try the oral b or crest websites.
Might I suggest a different approach though. Try a punishment that fits the crime. If she doesn't want to brush her teeth, then she can't eat foods that are bad for her teeth (candy, soda, ice cream, etc.) try limiting what she eats for only healthy foods and don't give her any sweets. Maybe this would make brushing more of an appealing task.
when you find it...check it out closely
A suburban Chicago-based toy company is reeling from the recall of one of its most popular products — Thomas the Tank Engine. The company, RC2, voluntarily began recalling some of the popular wooden railway toys because the Chinese factory that makes them used lead paints on the toys.

China has difficulty adhering to safety standards.
not difficulty actually...
suspect more of an unwillingness.
do you really want your kid putting something manufactured in China into her mouth unless you are absolutely certain there isn't lead, or asbestos, or something radioactive, or some other kind of poison/health hazard on the item?
I would also recommend checking the Oral-B and Crest/Colgate websites.
Try making brushing a game. Don't make it a negative experience by using negative reinforcement. Try using finger brushes, or a great flavored toothpaste. Perhaps try a sticker reward method. Every time she brushes and lets you brush she gets a sticker. When she has, say, 10 stickers she gets a toy, prize, or special privilege.
Tooth-brushing and flossing should be fun for kids so they develop good oral health habits.
Good luck!

That's where I go when I buy my son all his "Thomas the Tank" toys.
