So long, summer! It’s time for an exciting new school year. As kids head back to class, there are many reasons to smile: new teachers and old friends, favorite subjects, recess and picture day! Now is a great time to help kids get back into healthy routines that include proper brushing and flossing.
Boost Brushing Time
Experts recommend brushing teeth for two minutes, twice a day. Here are a few tips to make time at the sink more fun:
• Sing or play a song while your little one brushes along
• Set a timer. Reward your child for brushing longer than two minutes.
• Provide a fun brush and paste. Let your child choose a favorite character or flavor – like new Colgate® Bakugan™ toothbrushes and Colgate® Bakugan™ toothpaste with clinically proven cavity protection!
• Younger kids like to imitate older ones. Encourage “more experienced” siblings to teach proper tooth brushing. My First Colgate™ fluoride-free paste (safe if swallowed!) and brushes are made just for little brothers and sisters, up to 2 years.
