Teeth Brushing Tips for your Kids

Getting your kids to brush their teeth can be a dreaded task for some parents. A lot of kids are uninterested in good oral hygiene and would rather eat candy than brush their teeth. It is important to teach your kids at an early age the importance of brushing their teeth and having a clean, white smile. As a parent, you must find ways to make brushing more fun. There are plenty of ways to do this especially with toothbrushes and toothpastes designed for younger kids. Here are some tips for keeping brushing teeth fun.

The first tip is to make it fun! You can do this by purchasing bright color toothbrushes or a brush with their favorite cartoon character on it. A lot of brushes are now designed for children. You can also let your kids pick out their favorite toothbrush from the store. Toothpaste it also made the same way, in bright colors, fun flavors, and characters on the toothpaste tube. Listening to music or brushing your teeth with your kids will also make it more fun.

Another great tip is to introduce brushing gradually. You should start by teaching your kids how to brush on a doll for example. You should also start with water and then introduced toothpaste at a later time. A lot of parents want to brush their kids’ teeth for them, but you should allow them to brush their own teeth as well. You can always follow up and brush for them after they have tried it themselves. Just as you brush your kids’ teeth, you can let them Brush Your Teeth.

Introducing toothpaste should be done around 2 years old. Do not use a paste made for adults because the flavor can be too strong or spicy and this will make brushing a dreaded task instead of a fun one. Kid’s pastes are gentler and usually in a fun flavor such as bubble gum. Just use a dab at the beginning and then increase the amount when they are used to it.

While making teeth brushing fun, you should also teach your kids the proper technique. You can show them by brushing your teeth with them. Sometimes, the way you brush is more important than the amount you brush for. It can be a challenge to keep your kids brushing their teeth for a few minutes after every meal. This is where playing music can be a fun idea too. Play a short song while they are brushing, and when the song is over they will know they have brushed for long enough.

Brushing Your Teeth Can Be Fun by Leaf, Munro Edition ILL, 0


Brushing Your Teeth Can Be Fun by Leaf, Munro Edition ILL, 0


$19.99


It takes a Herculean effort to get my child to: a) brush his or her teeth b) go to sleep c) take a bath d) eat his or her vegetables. If any (or all) of these apply, continue reading. From the treasure chest of Munro Leaf comes another classic in which the beloved author and illustrator uses his time-proven method of talking to children straight—simply getting them to see it how it is. In Brushing Your Teeth Can Be Fun (originally published in 1943 as Health Can Be Fun), Leaf leaves his audience in no doubt that not only can health be fun, but good sense, as well. This book will help boys and girls understand why they should drink their milk, eat their vegetables, get exercise, go to bed on time, brush their teeth, keep clean, and a dozen other things both big and small that are important to building strong, healthy, and happy bodies.With his trademark stick figure drawings and witty text, Leaf will once again elicit peals of mirthful laughter from his little readers, not to mention some big ones who will find this humorous hygiene handbook an indispensable aid in the all-too-familiar night-time (come to think of it, all the time) war with their children about the merits of keeping good health.
