TEACHING how your child how to brush their teeth can be a little tricky.
Lucky for you, a savvy mom came up with a simple method that includes common items which can be found at any dollar store.
In the clip, the baby expert who goes by Bumpsandbottles on social media revealed it’s simple, you just need to pick up a dental play kit and some dry erase markers.
The five-piece dental package should include a fake set of teeth, a toothbrush, tweezers, a spit bowl, and a clamp.
Even though the kit does come with a toothbrush, the mom of two recommended picking up a set of real toothbrushes they’d really use.
Once you’ve collected the materials, take the fake set of teeth and color them in with the dry-erase markers you purchased.
The different colors are supposed to represent the dirt in between each tooth.
In this mom’s case, she made sure to open up the mouth and use the green and pink markers to leave behind dirty grime.
After you’re done coloring in different areas, hand the fake teeth to the child with a real toothbrush.
This way they can learn how to properly brush those hard-to-reach areas when it’s time to clean their own teeth.
After the kid took some time to brush the plastic teeth, the baby mama concluded her clip by showing off how clean the pearly whites looked.
Fellow parents and dental experts were amazed by the simple interactive method and couldn’t wait to try it out.
One person said: “I’m a dental hygienist here and this is amazing!! We give these out to our kid patients. I’ll have to recommend this.”
A second wrote: “I need to get these for my teenagers who always ‘forget’ to brush their teeth.”
“As a dental assistant, I approve this message,” continued a third.
