  types of toothbrushes that are available.

  their oral hygiene routine when they have a
  toothbrush that reflects their personality.

12
Turn it Into a Game
13

• When was the last time you participated in a
  tooth brushing race?

14

• Since you know your kids needs to brush for at
  least two minutes, try seeing who can brush their
  teeth the longest.

15

• Alternatively, place your kids side by side and
  see who can keep brushing until the timer runs
  out.

16

• Making this part of the day a fun way to bond
  with you and their siblings will have kids
  clamoring to join in on the game.

17
Try a Dental Science Experiment
18

• Kids are naturally visual learners, and they
  often dont care about brushing their teeth
  because they cannot visualize the negative
  effects that may occur far into the future.

19

• Help them make the connection between the food
  they eat and cavities by performing a classic
  science experiment.

20

• Seeing an egg shell soften in acidic vinegar or
  watching as the egg darkens in response to soda
  lets kids see firsthand what can happen when they
  treat tooth brushing like it is an option.

21
Highlight the Plaque
22

• Discovering plaque on your teeth might make you
  turn many shades of red, but your kids will think
  its cool to watch as their teeth turn an
  interesting hue.

23

• Plaque disclosing tablets and rinses are a simple
  way to show your kids the areas of their mouth
  that need some extra brushing.

24

• To keep it interesting, dont use them all the
  time. Instead, keep them as an ace in your pocket
  to pull out on those nights when your kids are
  groaning about brushing their teeth.

25
Turn Up the Tunes
26

• Most songs last about two to three minutes, which
  is the optimal time your kids should be brushing
  their teeth.

27

• Bring a music player into the bathroom and
  encourage your kids to dance to a favorite song
  as they brush their teeth.

28

• Be sure to change up the songs every time and
  your kid will look forward to their new favorite
  ritual.

29

• When tooth-brushing time has become a drag, it is
  important to whip out a few tricks for making it
  fun.

30

• Kids are naturally attracted to activities in
  their daily routine that are entertaining so be
  willing to turn their oral hygiene into a fun
  part of their day.

31

• As they begin to brush their teeth without being
  reminded, remember to praise their efforts for
  maintaining their beautiful smile.
