Children often mimic what they see around them, making it crucial for parents to model positive habits like tooth brushing early on. By consistently demonstrating good oral hygiene practices, parents lay the groundwork for their child’s dental health.
Yet, fostering these habits can be challenging. Many children struggle with consistency and motivation. Parents can help by acting as motivators and providing incentives, such as personalized toothbrushes or small rewards for the times in which children do participate in brushing without hassle. With consistency, children may even end up reminding their parents to brush.
Establishing these routines early increases the likelihood of lifelong oral health in children. Parents should welcome this challenge to ensure their children are as healthy as they can be.
