Good smile care should start at a young age. However, we know that it's not always easy to get kids to enjoy brushing their teeth. Here are a few tips to help make caring for tiny teeth fun.
Tooth Brushing Tips:
- Download a Brushing Timer - There are many free apps that provide kids with catchy songs, points, and tips on brushing. This will help keep them brushing for the full two minutes, twice a day that they need for a healthy smile.
- Let Them Brush to Their Favorite Tune - Let kids brush to their favorite song before bed. There are many songs that are about two minutes long. This helps keep kids entertained while caring for their teeth.
- Offer a Reward - Try a tooth brushing routine checklist! At the end of the week, offer a fun prize as a reward for being consistent with their brushing. This could be something as simple as a sticker or coloring book.
