Make Things Fun!
Brushing time shouldn’t be boring! Have a two minute party each time your kids brush. Crank up the radio, have some fun!
- Play your kid’s favorite song & have a little dance party!
- Use a fun timer and make it a game to race against the clock! Offer an incentive if they win.
- Offering incentives is always a great way to make brushing their teeth more fun. Perhaps a later bedtime, or two stories before bed!

Kids are more likely to make brushing a habit if they see their parents practicing what they preach! When you’re having your mini dance parties each morning and night, don’t just be the host of the party, join in with your kids and have some fun!
This includes:
- 2 Mins of brushing
- Flossing, can’t forget to floss!!
- Rinsing and showing off those pearly whites!
