Ark’s Sidekick Chewing Product

The Sidekick from ARK THERAPEUTIC is a bite toy in the shape of a male. Some children and adults do not tolerate chewing jewelry, or have chewing needs at bedtime. For this group, the Sidekick is a great solution. Chewing a chewing product is a safe alternative to chewing pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. Chewing is a way of self-regulation. Overstimulated children can reduce tension by chewing, understimulated children can concentrate better through chewing.

ARK’s Sidekick ™ Chewie is the largest oral motor-chewing tool. Whether you imagine Sidekick kicking, stretching or dancing an imaginary football, this fun design is sure to put a smile on your face.

Different strengths Ark’s Sidekick

The Sidekick figure from Ark Therapeutic is available in 3 levels of chewing need:

• Slight chewing need – recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything):
• Average chewing requirement – firmer, but still fairly flexible to chew, recommended for average chewing need
• Firm chewing need – This chewing jewelry still has some “chewability”, but it’s pretty sturdy. No chewing product is indestructible, but this one lasts the longest when you’re a solid chewer.

Safety

The ARK Therapeutic chewing materials are made in the United States. They are made of safe silicone (food grade) and free of harmful substances such as lead, plasticizers, PVC, BPA and latex. If a piece is accidentally bitten off and swallowed, this is not harmful to health.

Lifetime

How long the sidekick figure lasts depends on the intensity with which it is chewed (how often, how long and how hard). No chewing product is indestructible and the average lifespan ranges from 2 months to 1 year. If damage occurs, replace the bite toy.
