What can I do?

My child refuses to brush

Don’t despair! It may take a bit more time, but you’ll get there in the end, and the final result is both very important and very satisfying. Let’s take a look at various ways to help your child learn to love brushing:

enjoyable & regular routines

Your child needs to brush their teeth twice a day: in the morning and before going to bed. This ritual should be enjoyable and pleasant so your child has no reason to skip it. To create a good atmosphere in the bathroom, you can use your child’s favorite music and play games.

As a parent, you absolutely have to lead by example, demonstrating disciplined brushing twice every day. However busy or tired you are, your child has to see that you never skip your own brushings either.

Control in brushing

Children have been found to perform better when they have control over what they do. For example, when a child picks out their own toothbrush, they are more likely to use it regularly than when a brush is picked out for them. The same goes for toothpaste. Giving your child a choice gives them a powerful incentive to form a healthy dental habit. So next time you choose your dental products in a store or online, ask your child which colour of brush they prefer or what flavour toothpaste they want.

Leading by example

If a parent sticks to a healthy brushing ritual, their children are more likely to follow suit. For most of us as adults, any reluctant brushing is a result of childhood experiences: when our parents forced us to brush with unpleasant, harsh substances, and never followed their own rules. Do not pass this tradition along. Instead, create a loving, caring and nurturing atmosphere for when you brush. This has the power to greatly improve your child’s dental health in their adult life.
