Have a hard time getting your kids to brush their teeth?  These brushing games can help make brushing teeth a little bit more fun!

  • Try a Digital Game - Get kids excited about brushing their teeth by letting them play games with their favorite characters that promote brushing.  This Spongebob Squarepants Cavity Crisis game lets kids work to brush Spongebob's teeth so that they don't fall out!

Play Spongebob Squarepants Cavity Crisis by clicking here.
  • Play Their Favorite Song - Does your child have a favorite song?  Let them listen to their favorite song while they brush their teeth.  Pick a song that is close to 2 minutes long, so that they can brush for 2 minutes, 2 times a day!
  • Create a Story - You can make up your own story that inspires kids to be a superhero and save their teeth!  Or in the spirit of the new Star Wars movie coming out, they can pretend they are using a lightsaber toothbrush to battle tooth monsters.
  • Use a Fun Timer - Make sure that your kids are brushing their teeth for long enough by investing in a fun timer that plays a popular song or flashing bright colors while they brush.
