Halloween Tricks or Treats for Healthy Teeth
Halloween is almost here so I thought now would be a great time to share some tips for healthy teeth for kids. While the zombies, witches, vampires and all the other creatures of Halloween are getting ready for their big night (or day) we need to remember that the living have teeth they may want to keep for a while. So while it's perfectly fine to enjoy the candy (in moderation) it doesn't hurt (in fact it helps a lot) for parents to have a few tricks up their sleeves to fight those treats!
My daughter the witch a few years ago 🙂
Along with that stash of Halloween candy you can keep on hand Halloween teeth crime fighting (or cavity fighting) Arm & Hammer™, Spinbrush™ and Orajel™ products so that your little super hero can continue to have super teeth and not those of the un-dead. The Arm and Hammer Spinbrush comes in kids' favourite Super Mario characters and it's designed for kids with their unique needs in mind. It has a smaller brush head (best for smaller mouths) and a brush head that helps remove plaque and massage gums. Battery powered toothbrushes are also a great option for kids, as it makes tooth brushing time that much more fun.
Pair the fun Spinbrush with equally fun Orajel™ Bubble Guppies™ Kids Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste Gel or you can pair this toothpaste gel with a manual toothbrush, either way kids are fighting cavities and more the fun way. They love the fruity fluoride toothpaste. You can also use a fun manual toothbrush available from Orajel that has a coloured bristle guide that easily shows children where to place their toothpaste, while the soft bristles are gentle on young teeth and gums. Plus the handle provides a comfortable grip for little hands!
It's nice to have some essentials on hand like the ones we have below including Orajel products for younger kids, Arnica Rub A535 for aching muscles (usually for mom and dad lol). I think it's nice to make care packages like these for gifts too!
I used Orajel products when my daughter was younger and it was how I transitioned her from fluoride free toothpaste to the flouride ones, it made things a lot easier.
Now we all know that sometimes it just happens, a candy overload and sometimes a toothache accompanies that. Good news is that with Orajel™ Maximum Strength Toothache Pain Relief Gel, you can help ease that stubborn toothache and get instant relief.
So enjoy Halloween but remember to take care of your teeth and the kids too of course and know there are these awesome products out there to help you do just that! We're going to enjoy our Halloween and we hope you do too!
I love the spin brush. My teeth feel so much cleaner after I use it to brush. I have used Orajel for years. That stuff is great while you wait to get in to the dentist office.
Great tips! It's also a good idea to remind little ones of when the right time to brush is. Like, always wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after drinking/eating acidic items because tooth enamel is softened by that type of food/drink and you want it to re-harden before brushing. My sister drew little cartoon teeth on construction paper that explained all kinds of good dental practices and stuck them up in the bathroom for her kids.
I didn't know they made Orajel products for little ones.... good to know. This will really help with teething.
It is so important to make sure that the teeth are brushed a lot after eating Halloween candy or the teeth will rot. I like Orajel products. I have used on my son. And this products are great at keeping teeth clean!
I have used Orijel since my kids were little . They have great products for young kids through adults. Thanks for sharing,.
Great post with really good ideas! I absolutely agree it's very important to keep your teeth healthy. I think it's extremely important to teach your children health mouth care and instill these healthy tooth and gums habits in their everyday routines.
that goodies are amazing especially the toothbrush!
