Essential Brushing Tips To Keep Your Child’s Teeth Strong
Is there anything children love more than tasty treats and sweets? You may be able to manage their treat consumption quite well, but find setting morning and night brushing schedules nearly impossible. You’ve bought them their favourite cartoon toothbrush and toothpaste and yet still can’t get them into the habit of dedicating that two minutes twice daily to keep their teeth strong. At South Georgetown Dental, we hear your frustrations and, fortunately, we have solutions to make brush time a fun time for kids!
Check out our essential brushing tips to ensure your children have healthy teeth and gums!
1. Be A Great Example
Your little one looks up to you in everything they do; that includes brushing teeth! Your toddler loves copying you or an older sibling and you can use this to your advantage during their routine teeth and gum care. Try brushing your teeth at the same time your child is so they can mimic your brushing motions. This is a great practice for them to adapt to the motions and eventually be able to brush independently. This also encourages a bonding moment between you two, which is something for your child to look forward to. You can even invent a silly song or activity to use while you both brush!
