- First, we want our kids to have a positive feeling about brushing and flossing their teeth and taking care of them, so even before kids have teeth, give them a toothbrush to play with. It will become one of their favorite chew toys and they will get used to how a toothbrush feels in their mouth.
- Let them watch you brush. Kids want to be like their parents and siblings. They are little copy cats. They will want to brush and floss because you are.
- Make brushing fun. This has been a powerful tool in our house, with brushing and flossing. Let your kids pick out their toothbrush, or the flavor of their toothpaste. Put up a timer when they brush and turn it into a challenge to see who can brush as long as the timer ticks. Put a cup in the sink and pretend it is a bullseye they have to spit into. See who can floss the most times in a week. Introduce new technology or toys to get your kids excited.
- Don't whine about brushing and flossing yourself. If we complain about having to brush our teeth, or floss our teeth, our kids will think that brushing and flossing are miserable.
- Teach them. Sit down and teach your kids why we brush and floss. Empower them by imparting wisdom. They will have less concerns and become more willing. Better yet, take a field trip to the dentist office, or to the library to learn about teeth and how to keep them clean.
- Let them brush your teeth. Not only will it be a lof of fun, but it will warm them up to the idea of brushing their own teeth.
- Brush their teeth for them, and if they won't let you, have them brush and then tell them you get to take a turn with their teeth, and you brush.
- Make teeth part of your and morning and bedtime routines.
It is really important that we help our children understand the importance of good oral hygiene. Want to make flossing and brushing more fun? Use the $10 dollars off coupon for the Water Flosser for Kids, and $10 dollars off for the Complete Care System.
I received free product in exchange for this post. All the opinion are mine.
I like the spit in the cup in the sink trick. I'm going to have to try that one with my boys.

It is very difficult to keep kids away from fizzy drinks, chocolates, chips etc. When i consulted dentist Mumbai for my treatment the dentist suggested me few story books for kids on taking care of teeth and to my surprise my child refuses to eat such things after that and also asks me to do the same and am very glad about.

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.
