Schedule AppointmentGetting Kids Excited About Dental Health
After a long day, you and your child might not make it a priority to brush his or her teeth. If this is the case for you, our Lincoln Park dentist wants to help! Instead of seeing dental health as a chore, try doing what you can to make it a rewarding experience for both yourself and your child.
Make it a Family Activity
Your child will be more likely to get excited about oral health if he or she feels like they aren’t in it alone. Lead by example; brush and floss with them instead of solely assisting them. If other family members are home, try including them in this routine as well. Not only will your mouths benefit, but it also serves as good bonding time.
Play Music
Queue up your child’s favorite movie soundtrack and play that while he or she is brushing. This will help make the time go faster for them and get them excited about dental health. You can also prompt them to brush during the entire duration of their favorite song. A built-in timer as well as entertainment!
