How to Brush Your Teeth for Kids

Before we take a look at the fantastic tooth brushing songs I’d like to take a moment to say why it is important to teeth a child how to brush their teeth.
Children learn and form habits from a young age. If you begin early to teach tooth brushing skills then the chances of your child having good oral health as an adult is much greater. In fact, the pediatric dentist in coconut grove FL encourages parents to cultivate good oral hygiene practices so that their kids will develop better oral care as they grow.
You can begin by giving your baby a tooth brush as soon as they get teeth. There are special baby toothbrushes in most supermarkets with soft bristles and you don’t even need to put toothpaste on the brush.
You can use water and just have your little one get used to the idea of using the toothbrush.
As your infant develops more teeth you can purchase toothpaste for children under two years of age and place a pea size amount of toothpaste onto the brush head.
As a little girl I used Aquafresh and Colgate which are brands my own dentist recommends. There are a lot of toothpastes out there for kids. We shop at Aldi and go for the kids branded tooth paste in store.

This song is set to the children’s song here we go round the mulberry bush and is a great song to sing with the the little ones. Already knowing the tune can be super helpful and the cute characters make this a fantastic tooth brushing song for preschoolers.

This tooth brushing song is really catching and almost silly to the point that kids will love it. I love how they use a lot of repetition and that the song is super short and sweet but gets the message about brushing teeth across.

I really like this song. It’s relatable and has a toddler brushing teeth which your little ones will be able to relate to. The Toothbrush and toothpaste are personified and have eyes and features and dance during the song which is super cute and fun.

This is such a fun song by ELMO the fun loving red puppet from Sesame Street. I love this song because it’s fun and almost like a mini pop song that kids will love. I can see preschool kids brushing their teeth to this tooth brushing song and I think it has to be my favourite of them all.
