Tips to encourage tooth brushing in children

Do you find it a struggle at times to brush your children' s teeth? Here are some tips that we find that helps our child look forward to brushing his teeth:

• play and sing Lah Lah’s big live band “Brush your teeth" song on CD or DVD
  
  
• place stickers on a DentArtisans brushing calendar. When the chart is full of stars offer your child a treat
  
  
• brush with a 2 minute sand timer (Ask us for one at your next check up visit)
  
  
• use a “show and tell” method which means while you brush your own teeth allow your child to watch and imitate
  
  
• Brush in the bath tub
  
  
• Take your child along for a professional dental check up at DentArtisans. We will go through tooth brushing and dental care in a fun way!
