Straight Teeth, More Than Just Beauty: 4 Health Benefits Of Having Straight Teeth

About Me

I have three children, and like most parents, I have made a lot of well-intentioned mistakes in my journey as a parent. My first child hated brushing her teeth and flossing, so I simply punished her by giving her an extra chore when she refused to brush. It made her resent brushing even more. I decided to change things up with my second child, and when she didn't want to brush for the first time, I didn't punish her. Instead, I decided to find a fun oral health themed video game for her to play. I started working in fun games here and there that involved oral health, and she soon began asking me when it was time to brush instead of me telling her it was time. I created this blog to help other parents struggling to get their kids to brush their teeth. Make it fun!
