Make it Fun
Turn brushing into a game by using kid-friendly toothpaste with characters, setting a fun timer or playing brushing songs. Let them pick out their own toothbrush.
Lead by Example
Brush and floss together, so they learn it’s just a part of the daily routine for everyone. Show them proper techniques.
Use Positive Reinforcement
Offer praise and small rewards like stickers for brushing and flossing without being asked. This motivates them to keep up the habit.
Set Reminders
Place brushing charts or reminders in the bathroom. Set phone alerts for brushing times. Establish set times so it becomes a habit.
Explain the Why
Talk about why brushing and flossing is important for strong, healthy teeth in simple terms. They’ll be more interested in doing it. Patience is key when teaching good oral hygiene habits. Making it fun and bonding over brushing helps kids build lifelong habits. Your dentist like Dr. Beena George can demonstrate proper techniques at their visits as well.
