If there’s a little one in your life who just hates to brush her teeth, try these tips from Oral-B to make the daily routine a little more fun:

— Brush your teeth with your child to set a good example. This also helps your child to learn by watching and imitating you.

— Choose toothbrushes and toothpaste with popular kids’ characters, like Oral-B Stages, to help establish positive oral care routines with familiar friends like Winnie the Pooh or Disney Princesses.

— Sing your child’s favorite song, such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” for two minutes to encourage brushing for the dentist-recommended time. For older children, play a song from their favorite pop singer for two minutes.

— Making your child’s brushing routine fun will encourage proper habits early and help prevent oral care issues later in life.
