When I was little, I hated brushing my teeth. I don’t know why. Maybe because I was too lazy, or I just wanted to watch my favorite cartoon instead. Sneaking behind my mom’s back, I often pretended to brush my teeth and went straight to bed. Of course, my mouth was full of cavities when my next dental check-up came around. I was dragged to the dentist’s office for about a year. I’m sure my mom did not appreciate taking a screaming child who would do anything but go to the dentist. I realized then that keeping up with my oral hygiene is much better than visiting the dentist!
To help kids learn about oral hygiene, we have produced a few free health worksheets including the printable dental worksheet you see above. It’s never too late to teach your children about keeping up with their hygiene!
