Did you know that over 40% of children aged 2 to 11 have had cavities in their baby teeth? This surprising statistic from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research is a reminder of just how important it is to teach children good oral hygiene habits. Fortunately, there is a range of new kid-friendly products that can help make brushing and flossing fun! February is National Children\u2019s Dental Health Month, so now is the perfect time to learn about these 5 oral hygiene products that can get your kids excited about fighting cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Sparkle Fun Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is blue, sparkly, and tastes like bubblegum? Toothpaste made especially for kids! With its wild appearance and semi-sweet flavor, children\u2019s toothpaste helps make brushing teeth less of a chore. While kids will eventually switch to regular toothpaste as they get older, sparkly children\u2019s toothpaste can help them build strong oral hygiene habits while they are still young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Light-Up Toothbrushes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toothbrushes for kids these days are a lot more than just a boring piece of plastic! Parents today can choose a toothbrush that lights up or even plays a song while their child brushes. Many feature children\u2019s favorite characters from Disney movies or Star Wars. These products are often more than just looks, however. Some brushes come with automatic timers to help ensure children clean their teeth for a full two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Dinosaur-Shaped Fun Flossers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Convincing young children to brush their teeth every day can be hard enough. Flossing? Even harder! Thankfully, a variety of manufacturers have created fun, disposable flossers that come in all shapes and sizes. Some of the most popular kid-friendly flossers are shaped like dinosaurs! In addition, most flossers designed for children swap out mint flavor for grape, mixed berry or other tropical flavors that kids are more likely to enjoy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 #4: Festive Fluoride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compared to brushing or flossing, many young children find rinsing with mouthwash to be easy and fun! The level of fun can even be taken up a notch when the bottle of mouthwash has their favorite cartoon heroes on it. From Frozen to the Avengers, there are plenty of festive fluoride rinses on the supermarket and pharmacy shelves these days. Some even tint food particles so kids can see the evidence of icky bacteria when they spit into the sink. Mouthwashes designed for kids never contain alcohol but should still not be swallowed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Tasty Tablets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many kids are visual learners, so the idea of fighting invisible bacteria can often be confusing. That\u2019s why many children find chewing disclosing tablets to be super cool! This unique and interactive product shows kids the \u201cenemy\u201d in the fight against cavities by turning plaque a bright red color. The vegetable dye-based chewables are typically used after<\/em> brushing and flossing and are perfectly safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With light-up toothbrushes, cartoon-themed mouthwash, and more fun oral hygiene products, it should be easy to maintain healthy smiles during Children’s Dental Health Month and all year round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
