How I Got My Kids to Brush Their Teeth

I don’t know about you, but getting my kids to brush their teeth has ALWAYS been an intense struggle! It seems my kids’ sensory issues keeps them from wanting to brush their teeth.  Intense battles ensue! And I always seem to lose that battle – every – single – night!

If you follow our adventures on Facebook, last month, the dentist found a cavity on my son’s bicuspid and suggested an ugly silver cap!!! (Thanks for your advice against it)  I MUST find a way to encourage my kids to brush their teeth! Without a battle…

I was thrilled to try Oral-B’s new Disney Timer App just to see if it could motivate my kids to brush their teeth without a battle…

OralB-Disney-Magic-TimerThe app was super-easy to set up with one boy choosing to be Ironman and the other choosing to be Jake from the Neverland Pirates.

OralB-kids-brush-teethAs my kid brushes his teeth, the app shows a toothbrush slowly brushing to reveal a Disney scene that becomes a sticker in his album. And would you believe, this is all that it takes to get my kids to brush their teeth?!!!

Also, the app prevents hackers, like my son, from cheating — my son tried to get more stickers by brushing his teeth twice in a row — the app didn’t let him!

Do you struggle to get your kids to brush their teeth?
