The Brushing Battle

 The Brushing Battle

Is it a constant battle between you and your little one to brush their teeth? Nobody wants to have this battle in the morning OR right before bed, so these little tools may help. As a parent, the brushing battle is a battle that you have to win.Think of it this way, if you get your children to care for their teeth as they should, they will have a healthy mouth and that means no money out of your pocket! Healthy mouth = money saver! Using poetry and songs is, perhaps, a little unconventional, but sometimes, you have to be. Whatever works, right? Print them out in large font and attach to the bathroom mirror. Hopefully, you'll soon have a professional brusher and a battle-free toothbrush time!

Brushing
(to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Here's my toothpaste
Here's my brush
I won't hurry, I won't rush.
Working hard to keep teeth clean
Front and back and in between
When I brush for quite a while
I will have a happy smile. 

The Toothbrush Song
(to the tune of "Row,Row, Row Your Boat")
Brush, brush, brush your teeth
Brush them everyday.
We put toothpaste on our brush
To help stop tooth decay.
Floss, floss, floss your teeth.
Floss them every day!
Using the string to clean between
Keeps the plaque away!
Clean, clean, clean your teeth.
Clean them every day!
Your teeth will sparkle for years to come
In the most beautiful way!
Brush, brush, brush your teeth.
Brush them every day!
Happy, healthy teeth you'll have
If it's done this way.

Can you see my teeth? Poem
Can you see my teeth?
I use them to chew.
I chew things like carrots
so my teeth stay like new!

Can you see my teeth?
I use them to bite.
I bite things like apples
so my teeth will stay white!

Can you see my teeth?
I use them to speak.
I say “t” and “f”
every day of the week!

Can you see my teeth?
I use them to smile.
I brush until my grin
is as wide as a mile!

We hope these come in handy! We want your little one to have the happiest mouth and most beautiful smile! It's worth the extra push! :) Have a wonderful weekend!
