Oral B Stages Monsters U Prize Pack Giveaway

Good oral hygiene is so important for a child to have healthy, beautiful smile. Unfortunately it's not always easy to get your kids to brush their teeth...Or to go to the dentist without kicking and screaming.  Luckily, my children have always enjoyed their trips to the dentist thanks to the modern entertainment devices like TVs on the ceiling and video game consoles in the rooms, but I have been in the office many times when a poor mom walks in with a hysterical child and it is just no fun for any one.  

 America's Toothfairy, the National Oral Health Foundation, is dedicated to helping kids have their best smiles by educating parents and kids on oral care.  They have lot of great information on the site and even a FREE Kids Club you can join!  See below for some tips from the site and a chance to win new Oral B Stages Monsters products!

Here are a few tips from the ToothFairy:
  • Parents and caregivers can share tooth decay causing bacteria when they clean their child's pacifier or bottle nipple by placing it in their mouths or when they share a child's food and drink. Clean bottle nipples and pacifiers in warm, soapy water and avoid sharing food and drinks with your children.
  • Beginning at birth, clean infant gums with a damp cloth or soft toothbrush and warm water after each feeding and check your child's gums/teeth daily. 
  • Encourage children to drink water, not juice, in between feedings and never put a bottle or sippy cup in the crib with anything but water.
  • Children learn by example, brush and floss your teeth with them to encourage good oral health habits.
  • Check out products with xylitol as an alternative to sugar-laden sweets!
  • Have your child create a calendar to track good oral health practices. Post the calendar in the bathroom and reward children with a gold star or happy face for each day of great oral care! Help get your child excited about their next dental visit by bringing the calendar with you to show the dentist.
  • Brush and floss twice a day. If instructed by your dentist, introduce a fluoride rinse to offer extra protection for children ages six or older.

MAKE DENTAL VISITS FUN:

  • Regular dental visits will enable your child to develop a sense of familiarity and comfort with the dental team and practice as well as provide vital preventive care necessary for a healthy smile.
  • Reading can have a soothing and calming effect on your child. Bring their favorite book to read to them during their dental appointment.
  • Let your child wear a costume on their dental visit. This special treat can help them view going to the dentist as a fun activity.
  • Allow your child to bring their favorite toy or blanket with them on their dental visit to give them an added sense of security and comfort.

One way to keep brushing fun is with cute products your kiddos will love like the Crest Pro-Health Stages Monsters Toothpaste and Oral-B Stages 3 Monsters Toothbrush! These new products can be found at your local Walmart. Products feature the fun-loving monsters from the summer movie, Monsters University. Children can start and end their days with Sulley and Mike while keeping their smiles bright and healthy!

The Stages 3 Monsters, Inc. Toothbrush helps kids brush their best and is designed for ages 5-7. At this stage, molars start to grow in while some baby teeth are lost. Kids can brush, but they're still learning good technique. Sometimes they brush only one side of teeth, and they can't always reach the back teeth. That's why it's so important for us parents to assist in brushing.


Win it! One lucky reader will win an Oral B Stages Monsters, Inc. Prize Pack with  2 Crest Pro-Health Stages Monsters, Inc. Toothpastes (4.2 oz. ea.) and 2 Oral-B Stages Monsters, Inc. Toothbrushes! (Approximate retail value of  package is $10.00).
