Focus on Better Behavior

Before the age of three it’s not crucial that children are brushing their teeth every night, but it’s not a bad idea to start them at a young age for getting into the habit as they grow older. At this age you may find that she is very defiant and doesn’t want to brush, don’t panic it doesn’t mean she won’t ever do it. Try and make it fun for her, let her pick out her own tooth brush at the store. Make it an activity that you both do and brush your teeth with her. If she makes a scene let her know that keeping her teeth clean is very important but don’t make it a struggle and try again the next day.
