How to Make Brushing Fun for Kids 🎶🦷
Getting kids to brush doesn’t have to be a daily battle—it can be something they actually look forward to!
✨ Try these easy ideas:
• Turn on their favorite song and brush for the whole tune 🎵
• Let them pick out a fun toothbrush or flavored toothpaste
• Make it a game—who can make the most bubbles? 🫧
• Use a timer or brushing app to keep it interactive
• Brush together—kids love to copy what you do!
Building healthy habits early makes a lifetime of smiles a whole lot easier 😁💙

Flossing Facts You’ll Actually Want to Read 🦷✨
Think brushing alone has you covered? Not quite. Flossing is the real MVP when it comes to keeping your smile healthy and fresh.
Here are a few flossing facts worth knowing:
✔️ Flossing removes plaque and food particles your toothbrush can’t reach
✔️ It helps prevent cavities between teeth (a super common trouble spot)
✔️ Daily flossing supports healthy gums and can reduce inflammation
✔️ A consistent routine = fresher breath (yes, please!)
Skipping floss might not seem like a big deal—but over time, it can lead to bigger issues like gum disease and tooth decay. The good news? It only takes a couple of minutes a day to make a big difference.
At Finney Family Dentistry, we’re all about simple habits that keep your smile strong for the long run. Need a refresher on flossing technique or looking for products that work best for you? We’re always happy to help!

We had such a special day last week ! 🐾 Dr.Derek Van D**e and our therapy dog Teddy had the opportunity to visit Dr. Crawford’s office and help bring comfort and smiles during ortho appointments. It’s amazing to see how much a little extra love and a wagging tail can brighten someone’s day. 💙

We’re so grateful for the warm welcome and the chance to be part of such a caring team. Can’t wait for the next visit

Don’t Forget to Floss… Your Future Self Will Thank You 😉
Flossing might feel like the step you can skip—but it’s the one your smile depends on most! 🦷✨
Brushing cleans the surface, but flossing gets where your toothbrush can’t reach.
A few extra seconds a day can help prevent:
✔️ Cavities between teeth
✔️ Gum disease
✔️ Bad breath
Your future smile = healthier, brighter, and happier 😁
