Welcome to my "Ask Me Anything" blog post series!
I answer lots of questions on my social media channels, and it makes sense to share this information (anonymously!) in case it is useful for others, too.
"Hello! Do you know of an effective toothbrushing song, please?"
Sesame Street: Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me: Brushy Brush PSA is great!
I’ve never had it fail if…
1 - You make a game of getting to the bathroom (we race up the stairs to see who can get there first and always let them just win)
2 - We always clean our own teeth at the same time. We model brushing our teeth for the entire length of the song twice a day.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, let me know.
