Good habits start early — and teaching kids to care for their teeth doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right tools and a little creativity, brushing and flossing can be something your child actually looks forward to!
🎵 Make It a Game
- Use brushing songs or timers to make brushing fun
- Turn flossing into a challenge — “Can you beat the sugar bugs?”
- Try apps or reward charts to track consistency
📚 Storytime & Videos
- Read kid-friendly books about going to the dentist
- Watch fun educational videos on brushing and tooth care
🪥 Let Them Choose
- Pick out a toothbrush in their favourite colour or with a fun character
- Let them try flavoured toothpaste (fluoride-based, if age-appropriate)
👨👩👧 Lead by Example
- Brush and floss together as a family
- Show them that oral care is part of everyone’s routine
