Keeping children's teeth healthy with Aquafresh


At nearly six years old Roo still requires prompting on whether she has brushed her teeth, however she never complains when I do ask her to go and brush them.  I am relatively lucky in her willingness to skip off to the bathroom, pull out her favourite toothbrush and brush away.  I have heard horror stories from other mums desperate for hints and tips on how to get their child to happily brush their teeth.  My advice to them is to let them choose their own toothbrush, whether it be blue, pink, character or like Roo a MyWay! Spinbrush.

Aquafresh have produced a video with handy tips to make brush time more enjoyable which can be seen below or viewed at http://youtu.be/7SNiKyJQY9g



The video comes on the back of research that Aquafresh conducted of 1,500 mums of children aged 2-12 that reveals that more than one million under-fives in the UK have at least two fillings, as mums struggle to get kids to brush their teeth. Other findings from the research are:

• One in six (17 per cent) mums say their child has at least 3 fillings

• 13 per cent of mums have children who have at least one filling by the time they start school (aged 3)

• Almost one in four (24 per cent) mums say their children only brush their teeth once a day and one in fifty say they don’t brush at all

• The research showed that almost half (47 per cent) of kids under 12 have been told they have dental decay, one of the most preventable diseases in the UK

• Over half of mothers (53 per cent) admit to finding getting their kids to brush their teeth stressful – potentially leading to arguments in over 2.5 million families

• One in fifty mums even admitted that their kids never brush their teeth.
