It’s time for back to school and making sure your kiddos are in tip-top shape this year! Bring on the back to school shopping, the school supplies, and yearly physicals. I’ve talked with you all before how important taking care of your child’s teeth is. In my opinion it’s just as important as a well check-up. A healthy mouth can help your child’s overall immune system and prevent infections in the future.
I was at Connor’s class visiting one day and I was astonished as I sat there and saw so many kids with fingers in their MOUTHS! Ugh…
I know we can’t be there to remind them 24/7 not to stick their hands in their mouth & tell them how nasty it is, but we can instill good dental hygiene to help prevent germs and bacteria from growing.
ProNamel® 6-12 Years Toothpaste for Kids is the toothpaste we use and it works great to keep Connor’s teeth healthy! Tooth enamel is precious and needs to be protected, starting at an early age. Acid Erosion compromises the strength of enamel. This is where ProNamel® 6-12 Years Toothpaste for Kids comes in. ProNamel® for Kids actively strengthens enamel and protects against everyday acids and cavities. I work for a Dental office and our Doctor also recommends ProNamel® to our patients.
It’s never too early or too LATE to start good oral hygiene habits in your kids.
We try to make brushing our teeth fun and we also tell Connor how important it is to keep his teeth healthy. Now that he’s getting his permanent teeth in he knows he’ll only get one set of those. It’s important to take care of your smile, because it’s the only one you’re going to get 🙂
We have another tooth on the loose! Ha ha!
Here are some tips to make brushing fun for your kids:
- Let them pick out their own toothbrush and toothpaste, they have an opinion too! Toothbrushes come in so many fun styles these days- some have lights and even music!
- Show them how to brush their teeth in a routine way. Side to side, back to front.
- Try rhyming or music to make brushing teeth fun.
- Tell them how sparkly and pretty their teeth look when they are done. It helps build self esteem.
As you get ready for back to school, send your child out there with confidence. A bright smile can go a long way. Education is key and having the right tools and great products help make this Mom’s life a lot easier.

I let my son pick out the toothpaste flavor and we brush our teeth together twice a day.
My kids enjoy choosing their own toothbrushes and flavors of toothpaste. It motivates them to brush more.

I did NOT know Pronamel had a kids line! I use them myself- but love that they have a line for kids as well! Thanks!
I didn’t know they had a kids version! Letting mine pick their own toothbrush and flossers had really helped.
My daughter loves to pick out her toothbrushes
I will have to tell my sister-in-law that there’s a kids version. My nieces love to brush their teeth, all the time. Picking a new toothbrush is a favorite!
Letting kids pick out their own toothbrush and help with picking out toothpaste flavor helps.

My girls live to brush their teeth. My little one will brush her teeth over and over throughout the day!
These are great ideas. Brushing teeth is always such a chore at our house. I will have to try some of these!
Brushing teeth is a must in my home!!! My kids have grown to love brushing there teeth! We have a timer and cute spit cups, the kids compete to see who’s teeth will be more clean. This would be awesome to win!

These are great tips! I’ve been trying for years to get the boys into a good teeth brushing habit, but it is hard!
My son loves to take care of his teeth. He sometimes brushes them without me even asking him. I get him fun character toothbrushes and toothpaste to get him excited about doing it
I didn’t know Pronamel made kids’ toothpaste….

I had no ideal they had a kids toothpaste! We cant wait to try it! I brush my teeth with the kids so that we can make it a fun time!
We began educating our kids on the importance of brushing & flossing when they were very young. It also helps to keep them motivated by brushing together! We do let them help pick their own toothbrush & toothpaste, & flossers.

I brush my teeth at the same time as my son. He’s super-competitive. If I brush my teeth for 2 minutes, he’s gonna brush his for 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Works like a charm!
