Getting Kids to Brush Their Teeth

Does any kid like brushing their teeth? How about adding a little excitement to their daily toothbrushing ritual.

A couple of years ago we came across some “Firefly” toothbrushes for kids.

When you squeeze the handle a little light in the handle flashes on and off for one minute, just the amount of time the kids are required to brush their teeth. Aldi sells these toothbrushes for $1.00 and they come in white, blue, green, pink and red. I’ve also seen these toothbrushes at Big Lots.

The batteries last a long time; we’ve never had one run out.

For a little more toothbrushing fun – have the kids brush their teeth in the dark, so only the “Firefly” light shines.

Aldi toothbrush - $1.00
Money saved on dentist visits for rotten teeth - $1000
Kids having fun brushing their teeth – priceless!

Works for me!

Every day we should floss and brush our teeth perfectly. Even we should teach this to our child because most of the time cavities attack our children. Also, we need to regularly visit lake success dental care because if you are confused about dental clinic then you should visit this place at least once in your life.
