Do you ever feel like trying to get your children to take proper care of their teeth is... well, like pulling teeth? They simply don't want to be bothered! Unfortunately, my children are among that group of people who just have weak teeth, prone to issues regardless of what we do. That makes it all that much more important to try and make sure they are doing a good job, at a young age. While I cannot say we don't still get some push back, I have found a few things that have helped make the whole process that much easier. Today, I'm sharing those tips:

Embrace Their Favorite Characters

Whether it's on the brush, the products used or simply on the cups they use for rinsing, incorporating your child's favorite characters/themes can make brushing their teeth a little more pleasant! If paying an extra dollar for the mouthwash with the Disney characters on it are going to get my kids to use them more, that's certainly worth it to me!

Involve Them in Shopping

Don't shop for the kids--- bring them along! Let them help choose their favorite brush, toothpaste and mouthwashes. When they feel like they are part of the process, they are going to be excited to use what they have picked out.

Use a Fun Timer

This has perhaps made the biggest difference for my kids... keeping them brushing for the perfect length of time to make sure they aren't rushing through. Did you know that there are many great apps for your phone and tablet that help make brushing teeth all the more entertaining? My kids LOVE using them!

Of course more than anything, going to the dentist regularly is the best thing we can do. We know it's important to keep up with healthy teeth, gums and a gorgeous smile... but did you know that your oral health also affects every part of your body too?

That's right, it's not just the food that we put in our mouth that keeps our bodies healthy, but how we take care of said mouth as well... at all ages. Good oral health can limit your exposure to heart disease, stroke and memory loss. This is why it’s so important to start taking care of your oral health early, a healthy mouth equals a healthy you!

Still, as important as we know that it is... it isn't always in our budget. Let's be honest, traditional dental insurance can be quite expensive! The people at Smile Health Dental Plans know this and they have come up with one of the most simple and affordable Dental plans on the market today!
