In between she got some dental problem so consulted to <a href="http://newsmilesdentistry.com/" rel="nofollow">Torrance dentist</a>. His advice was really helpful and I really loved his service.mine azhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674825495962826401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215571588156030388.post-2001087014401775982015-11-25T02:39:10.212-05:002015-11-25T02:39:10.212-05:00Make it Fun: Think of creative ways to make brushi...Make it Fun: Think of creative ways to make brushing your teeth fun. For example, listening to fun sounds or songs while brushing can help make the entire experience a pleasant, and even fun one. Develop a Reward System: Children should brush their teeth twice a day and floss daily, so try keeping track of your child's brushing on a calendar by the sink with gold stars. If there are two stars at the end of the week, play their favorite game on Friday night as a special prize.<br />Make Brushing Time Family Time: At night, get together in the bathroom to brush our teeth for the recommended two minutes. Play your favorite song (which is usually around two minutes) and brush together for the duration of the song.<br />Get Kids in the Right Frame of Mind for the Dentist: Dentists recommend <a href="http://dentzzsmilemakeovers.com/" rel="nofollow">dental checkups</a> every six months, which can be scary for many children. So prepare them beforehand. Give them an idea of what to expect; try using picture books or do some role-playing exercises to explain to kids what to expect during a dental visit. After the visit, reward them for good behavior with their favorite television show or a fun activity.<br />Bring Variety to Brushing: Let your children choose different kinds of fluoride toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss to keep in the bathroom so that they can have options each time they brush.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224159449732457699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215571588156030388.post-22990944379611931562015-11-25T01:43:12.928-05:002015-11-25T01:43:12.928-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jennyjoshua25https://www.blogger.com/profile/13064851721281470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215571588156030388.post-57432032955214017812015-11-19T14:32:54.677-05:002015-11-19T14:32:54.677-05:00Great tips!
