Brushing doesn’t have to be a battle. Here are a few things that help my little patients, and my own family, actually look forward to it.
✔Let them pick their own toothbrush, in any color or character they love. Kids love having options!
✔Let them choose the flavor. Yes, there are ice cream flavors, and they’re a big hit.
✔Put on a two-minute song, and let them dance while they brush.
✔Brush together. Kids copy what they see, so let them watch you do it.
✔Swap the brush when the bristles fray, usually about every three months. A fresh brush feels like a fresh start.
