February is National Children’s Dental Health Month – and February 14th is Valentine’s Day. BUDDY and his friends from the PBS KIDS series Dinosaur Train would like to help you celebrate both!!
Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This year’s theme is “Join the Super Smile Team.”
With an emphasis on making brushing fun for young children, Buddy and Tiny are featured on a GUM® twin pack toothbrush set with ultrasoft bristles that are gentle on young gums, a narrow, tapered head that is comfortable in small mouths, and a soft grip to provide more control. Dinosaur Train Toothbrush on Amazon for $1.68 for 2!
Plus, children ages 2-5 will love to read Buddy’s Teeth, a Little Golden Book from Random House Children’s Books that retells an episode of the series in which Buddy experiences something all kids go through—losing a tooth!
BUDDY wants to share his own dental care tips too! Remember that Tyrannosaurus Rex replaced their teeth throughout their lives, but humans only get two sets so it is especially important to take good care of them!
Follow these helpful tips for strong teeth and a healthy smile!
1. Twice a day: Brush your teeth when you wake up and before you go to bed.
2. Take your time: Brush your teeth for 2 minutes and be sure to include your tongue!
3. Be kind to your gums: Brush with a soft bristle toothbrush.
4. Get the hard to reach places: Floss your teeth at bedtime.
5. See your Dentist twice a year!
