Kids most likely won’t be thrilled about the strong mint flavor that many adult toothpastes have. Kids’ toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors from bubble gum to strawberry to watermelon. Next time you’re at the store, let them pick out which flavor they want. This is a prime way to not only include them in their oral health decisions but also to get them excited about this twice-a-day ritual.
There is also a wide range of kids’ toothbrushes on the market with a variety of characters and colors to choose from. Allow them to choose their very own toothbrush. This will help instill ownership of their own oral health.
