What kind of routine do your kids have when it comes to their oral health? If you can’t definitively answer that, you might consider helping them develop a routine. 
Compared to your enamel, your child’s is 50% thinner – that means they require special protection each and every night. Stressing the importance of oral health to your kids is like trying to roll a boulder uphill in some cases. It really comes down to having a little fun with your toothbrush.
Kids can find themselves easily distracted but any parent who’s introduced the ‘quiet game’ can tell you how powerful games can be. The nightly brushing routine is a great place to adapt this concept. There’s no rule that says taking care of your teeth can’t be a little fun.
It takes two full minutes to do a proper job brushing your teeth, two minutes that might seem like an eternity for some children. How can you keep them focused? A singing toothbrush might just be your golden ticket.
Yes, believe it or not, but with the advent of modern technology, your toothbrush can sing. These toothbrushes are designed especially for kids (sorry dad), playing some of their favorite tunes for the proper amount of brushing time. Your little princess might be more inclined to brush if the boys of One Direction serenade her.
Does your child have a smartphone? Download the Aquafresh Brush Time App for an even more engaging experience. Your child can customize the app with their name to be personally greeted each time they brush – they can use their brush session to unlock cool stuff to personalize their avatar.
