Tips and Tricks to Encourage Brushing

Not all children jump into the habit of brushing twice a day so easily. In fact, it may take some parental encouragement to get them going. That’s not so uncommon. Fortunately, there are lots of fun and engaging ways to make brushing time something to look forward to for both parent and child. And you may find as your child grows, they may need a different method of encouragement. That’s fine because there are plenty of ways to get them to be expert brushers. One of these methods is bound to help you and your kid become a regular brusher. Just remember to stay positive and keep it fun. Keep in mind that children don’t always cooperate on some days, and it’s okay if they don’t want to try something new. The important thing is that their teeth get brushed without making their brushing routine a negative experience. Because when they brush well, everyone wins. Here are some ideas to get you – and your kid – started.
