Listen Later

Getting kids to brush their teeth can feel like one of those nightly battles that drains everyone. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your kids to brush their teeth without endless fights, you’re not alone. 

I sat down with Dr. Robert Geiman-orthodontist, dad, and author of The Tooth Bible - to talk through the real struggles parents face and toothbrushing tips that actually work.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why toothbrushing for toddlers is so tough and how to make it less of a battle
  • The surprising truth about at what age should a child brush their own teeth
  • Real-life toothbrushing tips that parents can try tonight (without fancy tools or gimmicks)
  • How to make brushing fun with silly toothpaste flavors, colorful toothbrushes, and family games
  • What happens when even dentists have to figure out how to get your kids to brush their teeth in real life

If you’ve been stressing about at what age should a child brush their own teeth, or just looking for simple toothbrushing tips that actually work, you’ll find both clarity and encouragement here.

This episode will help you rethink the nightly struggle, bring some ease back into toothbrushing for toddlers, and give you confidence in how to get your kids to brush their teeth in a way that sticks.
