Dental Health Month

Yes, February is Dental Health Month and the "tooth" of the matter is, as parents we stink at making sure our kids brush in the a.m. on a regular basis. So to help Mom and Dad do a better job and up the excitement about oral care, we whole-heartedly threw ourselves into better dental health. We:

1. bought new toothbrushes
2. watched a video about how to brush our teeth online
3. talked about why we brush our teeth and brushed the yellow plaque off a paper tooth (with white paint to reveal a clean tooth)
4. introduced flossing by flossing teeth (upside down egg carton) and our own teeth
5. kept tract of morning and evening brushing with a sticker chart.

It's been fun forming better habits and our mouths are gloriously clean and fresh because of it!
