Getting your kids to brush can be a chore in itself. My kids usually complained about something when it came time to brush. Some days it was the taste of the toothpaste while other days it was the color of the toothbrush. The task of getting them to brush was not fun. I am sure most parents have experienced this at one time or another.
Every parent wants their child to experience cavity free dental exams. It is no fun taking your child to a dentist appointment when a cavity needs to be filled. By getting your child in the habit of properly brushing and caring for their teeth early then you will experience more dental exams ending with “No cavities.” So for the sake of you and your child get your child in the habit of brushing every day at least twice a day.
Getting your child to stay interested in brushing is important. Sometimes buying special toothpaste, tooth brushes or whatever the newest fad in tooth brushes can help get your child wanting to brush. The key is to keep them interested after the novelty of the new superhero toothbrush wears off.
While most parents try the obvious incentives to brush such as special toothbrushes and tooth paste or even brush charts or stickers, the least obvious choice may be even more successful. What is this secret ammunition for parents? The Tooth Fairy is a great motivator to get your young child to keep brushing. Instead of waiting for your child to lose their first tooth to have a visit from the Tooth Fairy try sending a reminder to brush note. By placing little reminder notes from the Tooth Fairy to your child encouraging them to brush will help give your child motivated. If they think the Tooth Fairy is watching them and waiting anxiously for their cared for shiny and white baby teeth to fall out they will be more excited to keep brushing.
Your child is only young once. The Tooth Fairy notes for your child encouraging them to keep their teeth brushed will make fun memories for you and your child for years to come. Take the opportunity to spread some Tooth Fairy magic and encourage your child to brush at the same time.
