Easy and fun ways to get your toddlers brush their teeth
It's a tough daily battle when you have to drag your kids to brush their teeth every morning. Making them brush their teeth is easier said than done. However, is it really their fault? Who would like to leave a toy and put a bristled stick in their mouth?
Thus, to make the brushing sessions easy, here are 5 ways you can make it fun for your child.

Toothpaste flavour
Letting your kid choose their toothpaste and toothbrush is the best way to have them use it later. When you give them the authority to choose, it sparks interest in kids who don't brush their teeth.
Baby toothpaste comes in many colours and flavours. Just check these are fluoride-free so that even if they swallow some by mistake, you don't have to worry.

Add some music
Kids do not need to brush their teeth for more than two minutes. But it's difficult to make them do it even for 30 seconds. Playing their favourite song or poem is an effective way to make them do it for longer, while they dance along with the beats of the song.

In fact, you can play rhymes that encourage kids to brush their teeth.

Play the brush teeth game

If you include games in any activity, it becomes fun. Letting them practice teeth brushing on their toys and telling them fun stories about fighting germs can be good gaming strategy to get kids to brush their teeth.


Reward them

When children get rewarded for something, they do it more often. If you reward your kid when he does a good job of brushing, it will boost his confidence. Praising a child for their efforts is the best way to encourage them.


Setting examples

Kids love to copy their parents. If you brush your teeth regularly in front of your kids, they will automatically be encouraged to do it. The family brushing time can make the activity fun for your kid.
