Sometimes they even dread doing it. However, Jamboree Dentistry understands there are some things that you can do to make brushing seem less like a chore and feel more like fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Appeal to Their Taste<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Children can be picky when it comes to flavors. Try out toothpastes with different flavors and let your child pick their favorite one. The right toothpaste can make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Give Them Control<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Let them pick out their toothbrush. One with their favorite cartoon character or one that lights up might help them get excited about brushing. After you allow them to do this, you might have a harder time getting them to stop brushing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Brush and Floss Together<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Brushing your teeth together is one way to help kids understand what needs to be done and how to do it. When they are still young enough that you need to brush their teeth for them, give them a special doll or a stuffed animal and let them practice on the doll\u2019s or bear\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Give Lots of Compliments<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Use positive reinforcement to show them that they are doing a great job. They\u2019ll be more likely to continue when they see how happy you are, so perform a happy dance or whatever it takes to show them it\u2019s something they should be excited about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Make it Fun and Musical<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Brush to their favorite song or make up a song that is two to three minutes long. When the music stops, they will be done brushing, and they\u2019ve brushed for the recommended time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\"><b>Ask for Our Help<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-NaN m-font-size-NaN\">Teaching your child proper oral care as early as possible is essential to their oral health and even their overall health.
