And you would be forgiven if the thought of trying to get a dental routine for the family makes you want to curl up in bed and not get up. However, it needs to get done – and efficiently at that. Here is the good news: it is possible to make sure everyone in the family has healthy, good-looking teeth and there is even a way to make it easy breezy. From getting the basics like brushing down in a fun way to maybe using a teeth whitening system, we are going to get into all things family and have a stellar family-oriented oral routine!

Brush Up on the Basics!

The best way to maintain great oral hygiene is with a winning toothbrushing schedule! By setting a time for the family to brush together, this becomes a daily ritual the whole family can look forward to. Why not opt for after breakfast and before bedtime? Don’t forget to play a fun song that lasts for two minutes so everyone can make sure they are getting the best out of their brushing.

Don’t forget to opt for a fluoride toothpaste that the whole family will enjoy using. There are some great brands out there that offer a variety of toothpaste flavours for every stage in life.

Floss Like a Boss!

So now the toothbrushing is done and dusted you want to work on the other oh-so-important side of oral care – flossing! You want to make sure the whole family really gets into that mouth and between the teeth to get whatever bits the toothbrush missed! You could even convince your kids to use fun-flavored floss! It doesn’t have to be a chore; include a fun game like who can beat their sibling in a race for the fastest flossing? Plus, the laughs will make you forget that you’re actually doing a chore.

Mouthwash: The Cherry on Top!

Adding mouthwash into the family dental health mix is a small step with a big impact. It’s something extra you can easily do to keep your child’s teeth clean and help prevent cavities. Plus, mouthwash in fun colors and flavors gives kids and teens something to feel excited about. Choose a variety that’s safe for all to use, usually an alcohol-free option. Spotlight Oral Care has a lineup of kid-friendly mouthwashes in fun flavors, so you can get something extra and keep those smiles even brighter!

Time to Sparkle: Teeth Whitening Adventures

Sometimes, you not only want healthy, clean teeth but shiny, pearly white ones, too. For the adults – the parents, this is easy to do with something like a teeth whitening system like the one you can find at Spotlight Oral Care. However, when it comes to the other members of the family, this might not be the route you want to take. The experts on the matter (dentists) say you should probably keep the little ones away from teeth-whitening and wait until they are older teenagers.

A Routine That Works for All Ages

When setting up an oral health regimen for the family, keep it sweet and to the point. You want everyone to have some ownership and some strakes here. So that means creating a fun little calendar that allows everyone to check what they have done (in this case, taking care of their teeth). And you could even throw in some rewards to keep it interesting.

A Family With Some Good-Looking Teeth

You could be the family that everyone says has great-looking teeth – now, doesn’t that sound lovely? With simple steps in this guide, it is possible.
