The importance of healthy kids goes without saying. Of course we want our kids to be healthy and happy. But something that often gets over looked? Dental health. And it is something that is just as important as a child’s overall health.
Knowledge and understanding is of course the first crucial step, but then what? Not everyone has kiddos who jump for joy when it is time to brush their teeth. Plus, if you have more than one, like we do, it can be either more of a challenge or possibly even easier if you can get them to do it together!
But if you are still finding it challenging to get those little ones to brush – there is help! We recently tried out the My Bright Smile App from Colgate! The app is designed for kids age 4-6, with games like “Visit the Dentist,” “Swipe the Sweets” and “Brush the Teeth.” There’s even a two-minute song that will help keep your kids brushing until every tooth is clean.

I must say, my kids really enjoyed the app. And as a mom, so did I. It was something new and exciting for them to do while brushing, which makes getting them in there and getting down to business much less of a hassle! Plus, you get the added benefit of not only learning together but playing together too!

Some of the things we learned while using the app:

Brush with fluoride toothpaste after breakfast and before bedtime
Floss every day
Visit your dentist regularly
Limit the number of times you eat sweet and sticky snacks

Aside from the obvious help this app gives us as parents, as part of the Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures^® program, it is 100% free to download from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

So, what are you waiting for? If you need a little boost when it comes to getting your kids to brush, give it a try!
