But preventing toddler tooth decay is often easier said than done, because kids can find brushing uncomfortable or even scary. If your child doesn\u2019t like to brush, you are not alone! The good news is, developing proper brushing habits doesn\u2019t have to be difficult for you or your little one. Here are some of our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top tips<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for clean baby teeth and healthy gums!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Make it part of the routine<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trying to brush your child\u2019s teeth right before bedtime may be more difficult, because they are often tired and thus, uncooperative. Brushing should be made a relaxing, enjoyable experience whenever possible. Since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/shop\/oral-care\/devices\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all ISSA toothbrushes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are waterproof, brushing in the bath is an excellent option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Play copycat!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toddlers love to copy whatever parents do, but still want to do everything by themselves. \u00a0So, why not brush together? Baby can mimic you in the mirror, and even though they might not do a thorough job, it\u2019s a good way to get them used to the idea of brushing their own teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>3. When in doubt &#8211; offer rewards!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up a reward system is a tried-and-true way to encourage kids of any age to brush. ISSA mikro and ISSA mini are equipped with Smile Helpers, making it easy for you to tell when kiddos have brushed for a full 2 minutes. Trade your child some screen time or a favorite sticker if they brush long enough to see a smiley face on their toothbrush!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Make it fun!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try asking your toddler to say \u201ccheeeese\u201d or roar like a lion to brush different parts of the mouth, and to make brushing more like a game. You can also try singing a favorite song; it\u2019s fun and helps more anxious children recognize that brushing has a time limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/06\/Top-Toddler-Brushing-Tips-2-MYSA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/06\/Top-Toddler-Brushing-Tips-2-MYSA-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/06\/Top-Toddler-Brushing-Tips-2-MYSA.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Offer choices<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowing your child to be in control of their brushing whenever possible will build confidence and make brushing more enjoyable. Having a toothbrush that they have chosen is a great place to start. ISSA mikro and ISSA mini are now <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/SYKdxt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">available at Best Buy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so you can take your little one into the store and let them choose a new electric toothbrush in their favorite color! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy brushing!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the teething stage to tooth fairy visits, kids\u2019 dental care is important. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1316],"tags":[230,97,14],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Top 5 Kids\u2019 Dental Care Tips<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Children\u2019s dentists recommend keeping baby teeth clean even before their first visit.
