Are you tired of the daily battle to get your kids to brush their teeth? Are you feeling like a broken record, constantly reminding them of the importance of oral hygiene? Well, have no fear because we've got some helpful tips to make brushing teeth a breeze for both you and your kiddos.
Lead by Example
First things first, you have to lead by example. By keeping a great oral hygiene routine yourself, your kids will likely model their behaviour after you. If their parents show them how important oral hygiene is, it'll make it easier for them to understand why they need to brush their teeth too.
Make Brushing Fun
Onto the big one, let's make brushing fun! We know, brushing teeth isn't exactly the most thrilling activity for kids, but there are ways to make it more exciting. Try putting on the BRUSHY podcast and watch them learn and laugh while they brush their teeth.
They Choose the Toothbrush
Another tip is to let them choose their toothbrush! Giving kids a sense of control over their oral hygiene routine can make them more willing to brush. That's where the BRUSHY club comes in. Each month a special pack just for them will arrive on your doorstep. Not only will they get two new toothbrushes, but also a cool BRUSHY sticker and mystery gift.
Get a Routine Going
It's also important to make brushing teeth part of their routine. Establish a consistent brushing routine and stick to it. This will help your child understand that brushing their teeth is a regular part of their daily routine and will make it easier for them to remember to do it.
Say good job!
Last but not least, praise them! Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool when it comes to encouraging kids to brush their teeth. Praise your child when they brush their teeth, even if they don't do it perfectly.
Getting your kids to brush their teeth doesn't need to be such a daunting task for parents. That's why BRUSHY's mission is to make brushing time a fun time and help families achieve excellent oral health.
