Tips for making dental health a priority with your kids

I don’t know about your kids, but it has always been a challenge to get my daughter to brush her teeth.  She’ll either fib and tell us she “already did it” before bed or she doesn’t brush long enough so we have to stand there with her and make sure she brushes longer than a few seconds.  I recently was asked to check out the Firefly® products that are designed to help turn brush time into playtime. Firefly® is a leader in children’s oral care solutions and has recently expanded its line of toothbrushes to include even more fun characters and products that are ADA-approved and offer Good. Clean. Fun. at an affordable price point.  For your Star Wars fans, the  Firefly® Star Wars Collection,  the Kylo Ren Lightsaber toothbrush lights up for 60 seconds, teaching kids to brush for one minute on each row of teeth. The Firefly® products have character voices, memorable movie quotes, flashing lights and lightsaber sound effects helps encourage them to “conquer” the battle against the dark side of cavities.

You can find the toothbrush at Walmart and Walgreens, and it comes equipped with a protective cap to ensure the bristles and the brush head stay clear of any bacteria from the sink or countertop.  My daughter really liked trying the new Firefly® Spiderman Fun Pump Rinse, which can be found at Walmart.  I love that it comes with a convenient no-mess cup to ensure she dispenses the right amount of rinse. The Firefly® Spider-Man Fun Pump Rinse is sugar-free, alcohol free and boasts an amazing melon flavor that kids will love.

Practice Good Dental Health:

• Good overall health begins with good dental health. Did you know that you need to change your toothbrush every three months? It also needs to be changed every time you get over a cold! Replacing a toothbrush this often means that it’s a good idea to always have an arsenal of extras, just in case. REACH® is a trusted brand with a wide variety of products that offer more benefits for a lower price than the competition.
• The REACH® UltraClean toothbrush is available at Walmart and Target and provides a complete clean feeling with floss-like bristles and a tongue cleaner.
• Firefly recently launched their Lights, Camera, Smiles! sweepstakes on the Firefly Facebook page. One lucky grand prize winner will win a trip for a family of four to the movie capital of the world: Hollywood!  Check it out here.
