Brushing Up on Healthy Habits: Making Toothbrushing Fun for Kids with Red Seal Kids Berry Bubblicious Fluoride Toothpaste

As parents, we know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like a battle. But building good oral hygiene habits early is one of the best gifts we can give our children. Tooth brushing isn’t just about fresh breath - it’s about setting the foundation for lifelong dental health. 

Children’s teeth are more vulnerable to cavities and decay, especially as they begin to explore sugary foods and drinks, which are sometimes unavoidable.  

Brushing regularly with a soft-bristled toothbrush - twice a day for two minutes and ensuring all tooth surfaces are cleaned - helps remove plaque and food particles, helps prevents gum disease and tooth decay, and promotes confidence through a healthy smile. 

Red Seal’s Berry Bubblicious Toothpaste is designed with kids in mind. It’s gentle, effective, and free from harsh chemicals - making it a safer choice for little mouths. With a yummy berry flavour, brushing becomes something kids look forward to, not avoid. 

Red Seal Kids Berry Bubblicious Toothpaste is proudly NATRUE certified natural, meaning it meets strict international standards for natural products. Made right here in New Zealand, it contains no artificial colours or preservatives, making it a great choice for young smiles. Loved by parents and kids alike, Berry Bubblicious was also a winner in the 2024 Naturally Good Awards, celebrating excellence in natural and organic products. 

Handy Tips to Make Toothbrushing Fun 

Here are some handy, fun strategies to turn brushing time into a positive experience: 

• Make it a game: Use a timer or a fun song to brush for two minutes. 
• Brush together: Kids love to mimic - brushing alongside them sets a great example.
• Storytime brushing: Create a silly story about “sugar bugs” being chased away by the toothbrush.
• Apps and videos: There are great kid-friendly apps that guide brushing with music and animations. 
• Use a reward chart: Stickers or small rewards can motivate consistency – we have created some fun printable charts you can download and pop on the fridge HERE. 

Toothbrushing doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right tools - like yummy, sparkly Red Seal Berry Bubblicious toothpaste - and a little creativity, you can turn it into a fun and healthy habit your kids will carry for life.
