Lose weight and get fit top the chart of New Year's Resolutions each year, and they seldom ever get achieved.  This year, why not make your resolution to help encourage and motivate your child to keep their teeth healthy?  Here are some tips to keep them going all year long!

Make brushing fun.  Play a song, around 2 minutes in length, while they brush their teeth.  This will ensure they get a thorough brushing and have fun at the same time.  Another fun brushing tip is to let them choose their own toothbrush and toothpaste.  This gives them a sense of independence.  

Buy a flavored floss.  Dental floss can be purchased in berry blast, winter mint, and even cupcake flavors.  If your little one is still a bit too young to floss properly, try floss picks that are especially made for kids, and of course, be present to help them in the process.

Find a pediatric dentist.  Pediatric dentists are specially certified to interact and cater to the needs of your child.  The offices are designed to be appealing to children which helps eliminate the fear of the dentist.  

Good oral health leads to better general health and a greater quality of life for your child, making this a resolution you'll be sure to keep!
