If you have ever experienced a child shedding tears over having to brush his or her teeth, you know that dental hygiene isn’t always a fun experience for younger brushers. Well – it’s not always fun for adults either! The good news is that your children’s dentist has some suggestions for making hygiene time a little bit more enjoyable for everyone involved. Consider a little helpful advice, so keeping your family’s smiles healthy is something you look forward to.

Suggestion #1: Add Melody

As your children’s dentist explains, one of the most instantaneous ways to make brushing and flossing time fun is with the use of music. Turn on a beloved song that you can brush your teeth to! Everyone will get in a happy mood, smile, and move through the dental hygiene session easily while the enjoyable distraction of the music makes time fly.

Suggestion #2: Give Your Kids Options

Ask your little ones which toothpaste they like the most and let them use the yummy one. Consider letting them choose their own toothbrush when you shop for dental hygiene products, so they feel happy about their choice. Let each child choose a song on a particular day if you incorporate music. Letting them feel a bit more grown-up goes a long way!

Suggestion #3: Buy Hygiene Gifts

If you’ve got a bit of extra room in the budget, an easy and fun way to make dental care with your children feel a bit more fun is to shake things up with some new products. Is there a new toothpaste out with their favorite character on it? Perhaps your children are still learning to create consistent strokes, so you’re thinking of getting them children’s electric toothbrushes. Your children’s dentist says: Go for it!
