From experience, I know that brushing their teeth is not always something kids love but here is a great new video from Aquafresh with some wonderful tips to make it more enjoyable!
For more information, or to sign up to The Club for fun tips on how to get kids enjoying brushing or for a free sample of Aquafresh Fresh & Minty, please visit http://www.aquafreshclub.co.uk. This video is based on research that Aquafresh conducted of 1,500 moms of children aged 2-12 that reveals that more than one million children under age 5 in the UK have at least two fillings already, as moms struggle to get kids to brush their teeth. Other findings from the research are: • One in six (17 per cent) moms say their child has at least 3 fillings • 13 per cent of moms have children who have at least one filling by the time they start school (aged 3) • Almost one in four (24 per cent) moms 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 moms even admitted that their kids never brush their teeth. As you can see, it’s never too early to start good habits which will carry your children through later life and prevent dental problems and enormous bills! Aquafresh wants you to have a healthy smile and enjoy brushing!
My son always fights me on brushing- he loves to brush his teeth but hates having me help him, but he’s only 3 & not so great at really cleaning his teeth. It’s totally an ongoing battle for us.
I’m in the 13% my son has already had a filling. not for lack of brushing teeth though poor genetics my dentist said, one tooth didn’t even have enamel when it came in!
I’ve been working hard with my daughter on brushing her teeth. Some days, she does a good job. Others, not so much.
We taught our son right away how important good oral hygiene was.
Very good info here.
Love aquafresh! It’s all my mom used to buy!
I love aquafresh!
I dont use aquafresh anymore. But I think no matter what brand you use oral hygiene is very important

I love Aquafresh too.
It is stressful at times to get my kids to brush, but I definitely do make them brush!
Better brushing is something I have been bugging my kids about!
Aquafresh is a great brand
I can’t imagine admitting that my child never brushes their teeth – even just one mom in 50 is too much! That’s horrible!!
My daughhter is doing pretty good, but I have to fight with my 12 year old son!

I don’t know why kids hate brushing their teeth so much. It feels good to have clean teeth, LOL!
Wow, that’s crazy!
One in 50 moms doesn’t make their kids brush their teeth? That is scary!
oh man! The stats are scary!
woah! The stats are scary!
Nice video. I’ll let my kids watch it.
