How To Make Brushing Your Teeth Fun

A problem that many parents come across when raising toddlers to teenagers is how to encourage their children to brush their teeth. Oral B suggests making it fun for kids, if there is some enjoyment they will be less likely to resist. Here are 3 things Oral B feels parents can do:
1. Brush your teeth with your child to set a good example.This also helps your child to learn by watching and imitating you.

2. Choose toothbrushes and toothpaste with popular kids' characters, like Oral-B Stages, to help establish positive oral-care routines with familiar friends like Winnie the Pooh or Disney Princesses.

3. Sing your child's favorite song, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," for two minutes to encourage brushing for the dentist-recommended time. For older children, play a song from their favorite pop singer for two minutes.


Some other tips include putting a timer in the bathroom so they know when they have brushed long enough  and taking them with you to pick out their own oral care products like toothbrushes and toothpaste.


Starting them off with proper oral care techniques is very important to preventing cavities and gum decay later in life.
