Is it a chore to get your kid's to brush their teeth? Every morning and night should not begin with, "Oh, mom. Do I have to?" February is children's dental health month. It is the perfect time to talk about how important their dental health is and try to make it fun at the same time. One idea is to do a toothbrush painting. Have your child use their old toothbrush to paint a fun picture and then take a trip to buy a new one. Let your child pick out what color they would like to make them feel special and a toothpaste that will hopefully get them excited about brushing. This will allow you the perfect opportunity to talk about how important brushing your teeth can be and the effects of not brushing your teeth. Communication can open all kinds of doors with your child. Help get them excited!
