Is “brushing your teeth time” a chore at your house? Do you have to trick or bribe your children just to get them to stand at the sink and brush? You’re not alone. Oral hygiene is not the most exciting daily task, but as we know, it’s an important part of a person’s overall health. So how do you teach your children that?
If your kids are still unconvinced, try showing them just how important—and effective—brushing is. Talk to your
about a product you can get that shows the plaque on your teeth. Then demonstrate either on yourself or with your child how much plaque disappears by simply brushing. (This also doubles as an interesting game you can play.)
