Are you ready for Back to School?
I KNOW you are, he he he he!
But as Miss Grace's dentist said last week, NOW is a great time to get kids on a new routine before and after school, when it comes to oral care!
Mouth Watchers agrees, and sent over some great tips:
6 Hygiene Tips To Teach Your Kids
Help your children start healthy habits with Mouth Watchers
To a kid, hygiene can seem like a hassle. Until they reach the teenage years and realize that people appreciate the use of soap, toothpaste, and deodorant, teaching children to practice good hygiene is essential to their health and well-being. Help your little one adopt healthy habits with Mouth Watchers®, the leading toothbrush for better health!
Set your child up for a lifetime of stellar dental health with these helpful hygiene tips from Mouth Watchers® founder Dr. Ronald Plotka:
- Stay Away From Sugar: While it’s a treat for your stomach – it’s certainly not for your teeth. Terrible for your health and pearly whites, all things candy, ice cream, cakes and pastries should only be for special occasions!
- Skip Soda: Your teeth’s worst enemy, help your kids to avoid the bubbly drink by offering them alternatives like flavored water or juices (natural ones, not those made with mostly sugar too!) – but make sure they are low in sugar as well!
- Fill Up On Fluoride: For decades, there’s been a dental dogma associated with fluoride. Is it good for our teeth? Yes! Fluoride toothpaste reduces cavities in kids from 15 to 30 percent and the fluoride of public water supplies lowers cavity rates up to 40 percent. (this one is a parental decision, and based on what YOUR research tells you, if you've been a reader, you know what ours is)
- Set Up A Schedule: A good routine is always appreciated! Put a pea-sized squirt of fluoride toothpaste on their Mouth Watchers® Youth Manual Toothbrush, set a timer for 30 seconds and let them have a turn at cleaning. Then practice rinsing and spitting together, and don’t be surprised if that’s your kiddo’s favorite part!
- Make it Fun To Floss: Children learn through play, so introducing educational flossing activities will help make hygiene fun! Sing a song, make it a fun game, or even create flossing chart to hang on the wall, adding a sticker for each time your child flosses. Give them a little reward for flossing a few days in a row such as staying up late, or a trip to the movies! Those incentives will keep them flossing forever.
- Say Goodbye To Pacifiers: Babies love their pacifiers, but many parents are rightly concerned that too much use can cause dental problems. The presence of a pacifier can harm the development and growth of the mouth and teeth. Prolonged use can cause changes in the shape of the roof of the mouth and create problems with tooth alignment. Break the habit early!
Start teaching good oral care at an early age. Encourage your kids to practice healthy hygiene habits with help from Mouth Watchers®!
Mouthwatchers Toothbrushes come in Manual and Power, in Adult, Youth and and Travel sizes,and range in price from $4.99 to $24.99 for the power pack. We check out 2 of their different ones:
We LOVE the Mouthwatchers Travel Toothbrush! Don't let's small size fool you- this Antimicrobial Toothbrush is embedded with silver technology to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria build-up for up to 6 hours AFTER brushing. That can get YOU through a business day, or the kids through most of school! They also feature dual action Flossing Bristles (made of a PBT bristle material outlasts traditional nylon used in competitive brushes), that are ultra thin at the tip to properly reach and brush away food and plaque in normally missed areas, They really get in deep into teeth grooves and pockets for a superior clean away from home! Making them perfect for kids who have to brush at school after lunch too!
The Youth and Adult manual toothbrushes feature the SAME technology as their little travel siblings, but in a sturdy long lasting at-home toothbrush! The Youth toothbrush has a slightly smaller head, making it easier for kids to use, as well as soft bristles. It's a great step up from toddler brushes, and recommended by dentists to keep kids from abusing their gums with harsher medium bristles. Miss Grace LOVES hers!
So as you see, Mouth Watchers has your entire family covered! They even have family packs, with combination of power and manual brushes, or just manual ones, to save YOU money! Right now they are only available via the Mouth Watchers website.
