February is National Children’s Dental Health Month and with Valentine’s Day and all of the candy coming up, now is the perfect time to get your child excited about their oral health. Nugget is surprisingly great about brushing his teeth. I was using a washcloth on his gums before he even had a single tooth, so brushing is nothing new for him. He happily gets on his step stool and brushes morning and night. This week, however, he was extra excited to see that he had a new toothbrush with Buddy from the PBS Kids show Dinosaur Train on it.
These GUM toothbrushes are great! With ultra-soft bristles, a small, tapered head, and fun designs, they’re great for little mouths. I also LOVE the suction cup on the bottom. It’s so nice to be able to just stand it up on the counter instead of leaving the toothbrush laying down.
After brushing his teeth, we decided to read Buddy’s Teeth, a Little Golden Book. This is a great story for kids ages 2-5 and it’s about something all kids will experience – losing a tooth. Nugget loved the story and spent a good portion of the morning trying to figure out how and when he could get his “big boy” teeth…there may have been lots of tooth wiggling involved.
