Riverside CA Dentist | Let’s Make Teeth Cleaning Fun!

When it comes to general oral hygiene, always remember that consistency is key! However, we oftentimes find ourselves stuck in a constant struggle with children to get them to brush their teeth. If this is something that occurs whenever you try to help your little one, here are some tips that can make the process of teeth cleaning fun.

Start Earlier

Timing can be a huge thing in helping your child adjust to a normal cleaning routine. Sometimes children get crankier as time goes on. With that in mind, try to start your routine earlier in the day, perhaps a little bit after dinner. This will definitely improve their mood.

Brushing Together

Younger children love mimic what their parents do, so, take advantage of that habit by brushing your teeth alongside them.

Cleaning Teeth to Music

Music may play an important role in allowing your child to not only enjoy brushing their teeth, but sufficiently brush their teeth. Choose a song that is at least two minutes long, to ensure the brushing process is done in its full time, and then choose a song that your kid enjoys!
