Five Fun Tips to Help Your Child Brush Their Teeth

As parents, we know that instilling good oral hygiene habits in our little ones is a priority. However, getting our kids to brush and floss daily can be a challenge. The American Dental Association recommends children brush twice a day for 2 minutes. We’re here to show you that transforming this daily routine from a chore into a delightful adventure for your child is possible.

In this blog post, we’ll share five simple yet effective tips to turn brushing and flossing into a fun and engaging activity for your child. By making it enjoyable, giving your child some control, and appealing to their taste buds, you can help instill lifelong good dental and oral care habits.

Five Fun Tips to Help Your Child Brush Their Teeth

  1. Use music

Play a fun song or make up a tune that lasts two to three minutes. When the music stops, they’ll know it’s time to stop brushing.

  1. Let them choose

Let your child choose their own toothbrush. Opt for one with their favorite cartoon character or one that lights up to make brushing more exciting.

  1. Find a toothpaste they like

Children can be picky, so the right toothpaste can make a big difference. Try out different flavors and let your child pick their favorite.

  1. Do it as a family

Brush your teeth alongside your child to help them understand what to do and how to do it. If they’re still young and need assistance, give them a doll or stuffed animal to practice brushing on.

  1. Give lots of praise

Use positive reinforcement to show your child that they’re doing a great job brushing and flossing. Celebrate their efforts with a happy dance or lots of praise to make the experience more rewarding.
