5 Tips to Get Your Child Excited and Willing to Brush Their Friggin' Teeth

According to the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth twice a day, two minutes each time. It's important to make these four minutes fun, so don't just stand there and watch. Instead, a good idea is to set a timer, such as Disney's Magic Timer by Oral B App, dance around, and get to brushing. If brushing is made to be a fun activity, your child may find more of an incentive to stick to it.

Make sure when you're teaching your child how to brush, you stick to a routine, brushing once in the morning and once at night before bed. Over time, this will be a built-in part of your child's everyday life, becoming a healthy, easy-to-remember habit.
