How to Get Kids to Brush Their Teeth

It can be difficult to get kids regularly. Ideally, you wanted to get them started at a young age to reinforce good habits so they keep doing it as they grow older.

In the event that that your kids are not brushing regularly, here are a few tips that could help :

• Set an example! If you are enthusiastic about brushing your teeth, then they will be enthusiastic as well!

• Do it together! Schedule a time where you brush your teeth with your kids. Of course, this isn’t always possible, so try scheduling as many days as possible to brush with them and schedule a few days where they have to do it on their own!

• Play their favorite song and encourage them to keep brushing until about 2 minutes into the song, which could line up with a specific musical moment. They’ll have good music while they brush and they’ll brush for the right amount of time

• Keep it fun! Always find ways to keep it as fun as possible!

• Ask for suggestions! Ask your friends and ask your dentist if they have any great tips or ideas!
