Oral hygiene education is an ongoing effort. Through play, books, and visits to the dentist, your children can learn the importance of brushing. But in the meantime, you need ways to ensure your children are brushing their teeth . Here are six easy ways to get your kids to brush their teeth without the fight and with lots of fun. 1.
