Teach Your Children The Importance of Proper Brushing
While it is very important to see your dentist at least twice per year, the most important part of taking care of your teeth should be occurring at home: brushing and flossing properly and regularly. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for at least two minutes at least twice a day. Use a timer or play a song to get your child used to brushing for the proper amount of time. Many toothbrushes have timers or lights built in to help you.

Our family company makes Gripit Floss Holder - www.gripit.biz. We have parents tell us they use Gripits to floss their children's teeth so they don't have to put adult fingers into small mouths. Then kids often want to try a Gripit for themselves and a good flossing habit is started.
