The "me do" stage poses a challenge when it comes to providing your kids with the necessary instruction tooth brushing and flossing requires.

Making brushing fun
- Hi- I work in a pediatric dental office. Teaching your children to brush at an early age is so important. I see an endless amount of kids who come in and it looks like haven't brushed in months. There are a few fun products that you can try to keep them interested in brushing. The crest spin brush is great it comes it a lot of fun characters. A few parents do complain that it is too expensive and doesn't even last 3 months. Another brush I like is the Dr fresh firefly. It has a flashing light in the handle which is a timer, it's available at most retail stores and is under $3. Hope this helps!
