If you’re having trouble teaching your child the importance of brushing, why not introduce a little fun to the otherwise monotonous routine with a singing toothbrush?
Let’s face it – it’s hard to explain the importance of daily brushing to your children at a young age. Sometimes you need all the help you can get when it comes to warding off cavities and decay; singing toothbrushes are an affordable ally.
No, that isn’t Lady Gaga in the bathroom – it’s a toothbrush! Singing toothbrushes typically come in all assortments of pop stars including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and One Direction – you might not be familiar, but most kids under the age of 12 certainly are.
Even most adults probably don’t realize the optimal amount of brushing time is two minutes; not the 40 seconds we usually spend in between tying our shoes and heading out the door. Each unique singing toothbrush helps relieve the monotony of everyday brushing, but more importantly, it stresses the proper amount of brushing time to your child.
The best singing toothbrush will actually play the track for the full duration of the required brushing time, making it easy for your child to recognize when they’re finished cleaning their teeth. This is a great way to ensure your child brushes their teeth fully without monitoring them directly.
Many grocery stores actually carry singing toothbrushes now. Make sure the toothbrush you select for your child is still ADA approved and is sized appropriately for their mouth. You may need to install a battery in the brush before it’s ready to use.
Singing toothbrushes are a great way to condition your child to brush their teeth regularly and efficiently, setting them up for a lifetime of good oral health. Conveniently, they also make a great stocking stuffer this holiday season!
