Twooth® Kare Tips 4 Kids
Back-to-School Tips for Healthy Smiles
Posted by Katherine Post
Dallas, TX -- (Wobwire.com) -- In the rush to get ready for school, most kids
don’t spend enough time brushing their teeth. Poor dental hygiene can lead
to tooth decay, the #1 most common chronic childhood disease. Over 51
million school hours are lost each year due to dental-related illness! Tooth
decay is 5 times more common than asthma and 7 times more common than
hay fever… but it is preventable!
Teaching your kids good dental hygiene habits early on will not only ensure
their oral health, reducing dental bills, but also their overall health! Help them
get an A+ on their next dental report card by:
1. Let your child choose his or her own toothbrush as long as it’s the proper
size and soft bristled, it makes for a more enthusiastic brusher! Replace a
toothbrush when it’s worn, bristles splayed, or after an illness and never
share a toothbrush.
2. Kids are sensitive to strong flavors and usually dislike adult toothpaste.
Finding a flavor of children’s toothpaste they like will be trial & error but
worth it in the long run.
3. Using a 2 minute tooth brushing timer, like the Twooth® Timer, will help to
keep track of the time and make sure they’re brushing for the recommended
two minutes.
4. Pack a nutritious lunch & snack. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and cheese are
great choices. Cheese, like aged Cheddar, Swiss, and Monterey Jack, is
especially good for teeth because it neutralizes acids. Avoid fruit juices
& sodas because they are very acidic and erode tooth enamel. Also
avoid foods that are sticky or chewy because they will cling to the tooth
surface, allowing the bacteria in plaque to produce more acid.
5. It’s unlikely that kids can brush their teeth after lunch. But a quick trip to
the water fountain to rinse their mouths is almost as good!
6. Floss picks make flossing easier for kids and come in fun flavors. Find one
they like and the battle is almost won! If you can’t get your kids to floss twice
a day, make sure they floss before going to bed.
7. Setting a good example.
Regular dental checkups will make sure their smiles are healthy. A healthy
mouth = a healthy body!

About The Twooth Timer Company
The Twooth Timer Company’s first product, Twooth® Timer, began as an
idea in August 1998 during a routine dental checkup. After being told by the
dentist that her children needed to brush their teeth for two minutes (instead
of ten seconds!), company Founder/President & Twooth Fairy, Antoinette de
Janasz designed the Twooth® Timer. Through the development and
marketing of the Twooth® Timer, Antoinette has learned of the importance of
dental hygiene and its role in the overall health of the body. Through their
products, website, and free downloads, Antoinette hopes to share this
knowledge with others and help them achieve a lifetime of healthy smiles!
