FUN WAYS TO GET YOUR KIDS TO CLEAN THEIR TEETH / MOUTH

Are you a parent of young children / a bit older children and wondering how can you ensure that your toddler’s dental health remains in good condition ?

 

Any good habits you are trying to develop for your children will take some time and perseverance . 

In this post I would like to share some fun ways I have tried to get my children to brush their teeth regularly . 

   Talk about ; 

                  How important is to clean our teeth , you can share stories . 

Let children choose their tooth brush and their choice of flavor tooth paste , there are so many to  choose from mint to strawberry .

  

    My son love his Batman electric tooth brush , as it helps him  getting proper deep  teeth clean .

Encouragement ; 

We cheer at every brushed tooth , so it feels like an achievement and slowly but surely children develop the habit      of brushing his teeth on their own . 

 Role  Play ; 

Use their favorite toys as role play , you can demonstrate cleaning teeth yourself or on your favorite soft toy or teddy.                   

We have been cleaning ‘Ben’ teeth quite regularly as children love to imitate the grown ups . 

Have Fun ;

 You can let your little one  help you brush your teeth. My children love the idea of helping mommy cleaning her teeth . We love to role play dentists . 

You can brush your teeth with your children while having fun looking at mirror making funny faces so it’s something they look at fun rather boring brushing teeth routine . 

Reward chart ; 

I have used a pretty basic one , as my children just love the variety of reward stickers so upon brushing their teeth brushing their teeth they can choose their favorite stickers to on the reward charts . 

Sing song ; 

                 “Brush brush brush”

                 "Brush your teeth every day”

                 "So they can stay healthy and clean” 

                 "Brush brush brush”

Remember not to stress about it as every day practice will help children develop good oral hygiene routine . Parents can rewards children with something they like to continue with keeping up great brushing routine . 

And if by chance children miss any day or time you can get back on to it . There is no hard and fast rules . Most important thing is that children stick to good personal hygiene habits when they learn it while having fun ,  Just try implementing some fun ways which work with your children best .
