Anyone who has children knows how difficult it can be to get them to do basic things like eat their vegetables or make their bed in the morning. And reminding children to brush their teeth on a daily basis isn't any easier. But the dental care team at Pediatric Dental Group is eager to share a couple helpful tips parents should try to making the teeth cleaning and brushing habits easier for their children and themselves. Today they share two simple habits to try to successfully get the kids to brush daily.

  • Reward Good Behavior: One way to effectively instill the important habit of teeth brushing in a child is to reward them for doing it consistently. Pediatric Dental Group suggests parents create a chart and grant the kids a star every time they brush their teeth. At the end of the week, reward them with a movie night and a healthy, sweet treat.
  • Do It With Them: The easiest way to get kids to do something is for parents to set an example by doing it themselves. When kids brush their teeth with their parents, it will quickly become a habit they won't forget. Pediatric Dental Group also suggests educating the kids during teeth brushing time on why dental hygiene is so important and how to brush teeth correctly.
