Setting a Good Example
As a parent you play an active role in your children's oral wellbeing and are the ultimate role model for their dietary and oral hygiene habits. By setting a good example from the beginning, you can help create a healthy routine for your child's future.
Being there
Young children learn best by imitation. Brushing together can help make brushing a fun part of your child's daily routine. Parents will need to help until they feel confident that their child can reach all the tricky spots and brush with confidence.
Brushing to a Beat
To help your child enjoy brushing their teeth, why not turn on their favorite song. If they start brushing from the very beginning of the song to the end, it will help make the time go much faster and they will get their 2 minutes of brushing done in no time! |
