Use The Tooth Fairy To Promote Good Brushing Habits

Lets face it, some kids just don't like to brush their teeth. This is a struggle for many parents. Brushing habits need to be established early to ensure the health of your child's teeth. Unfortunately, toddlers don't always understand the need to put toothpaste in their mouth that they don't like the taste of, or feel of. So the struggle that many parents face daily is getting their kids to brush without struggle.

Every parent wants their child to experience cavity free dental exams. It is no fun taking your child to a dentist appointment when a cavity needs to be filled. By getting your child in the habit of properly brushing and caring for their teeth early then you will experience more dental exams ending with "No cavities." So for the sake of you and your child get your child in the habit of brushing every day at least twice a day.

I have tried many different methods to keep my children interested in brushing. I have tried the musical toothpaste lid, buying overpriced toothbrushes because they were imprinted with the newest superhero and I even bought the toothbrushes that twirl and spin hoping to keep my children interested. Well, they all worked for a while, at least until the novelty wore off.

Tooth brush charts are a great way to keep your child interested in brushing. Fun stickers and rewards are always a great parenting tool. Another tool that is sometimes overlooked by parents is the Tooth Fairy. Every kid is excited to get their first visit from the Tooth Fairy. This is a great reason to take the opportunity to let the Tooth fairy help promote good brushing as well. A magical little note from the Tooth Fairy reminding your child to keep brushing because she is excited to collect nice shiny teeth will give your child something to work on. If your child starts to lose interest in brushing simply send a nice little note reminding them that the Tooth Fairy is counting on their shiny teeth.

The Tooth Fairy is a great way to encourage your child to keep brushing. Your child will enjoy receiving notes and encouragement from the Tooth Fairy and will make some great memories for your child and yourself. Take a few seconds and spread some Tooth Fairy magic tonight.
