Healthy Habits: Dental Hygiene

I received the following and would like to post it on behalf of Oral B, since it's helpful information to maintain good dental hygiene for kids.

- Brush your teeth with your child to set a good example. This also helps your child to learn by watching and imitating you.
- Choose toothbrushes and toothpaste with popular kids’ characters to help establish positive oral care routines with familiar friends like Winnie the Pooh or Disney Princesses.
- Sing your child’s favorite song, such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” for two minutes to encourage brushing for the dentist-recommended time. For older children, play a song from their favorite pop singer for two minutes.
- Making your child’s brushing routine fun will encourage proper habits early and help prevent oral care issues later in life.
- For more information please visit Oral B Kids Care.
