HOW WELL ARE YOUR KIDS BRUSHING THEIR TEETH?

 

Getting back to school and the early morning rush can often lead to compromised hygiene.  What can you do as parents to make sure your children are cleaning their teeth effectively?  2Tone Disclosing solution is a wonderful tool to implement at home to use as a “check” to make sure your munchkins are getting to all of the areas  in their mouth.  Simply place a couple of drops on a q-tip and swab all over all of the teeth, rinse and spit.  Then inspect the colors.  Pink= “new” plaque less than 24 hours old.  Blue=”old” plaque over 24 hours old, where they have consistently missing when cleaning.  The areas that stain either color should be flossed and brushed, when the plaque is removed, the stain will be removed also.  2Tone is also great for children who are just learning to brush without supervision, they can used the solution on their own before brushing, and then use their toothbrush to make sure they get every area.  Either way, it works!  We do have 2Tone solution available in our office for $12 per bottle, and this stuff lasts forever!  A great inexpensive way to train children to do a great job brushing and flossing.
