Happy National Brush Day! On November 1, today reminds any and all of us to follow the American Dental Association’s guidelines. Sometimes the day is referred to as National Brush Your Teeth Day.
Today follows Halloween, which traditionally is the single most significant day of candy consumption in the United States.
The simple act of brushing your teeth twice daily for two minutes can have a substantial impact on cavity prevention.
It also impacts a myriad of oral diseases such as gingivitis.
When is National Toothfairy Day?
It’s important to encourage brushing after meals and especially after sugary snacks. Teach your children a two-minute song to hum while brushing their teeth.
Some good tunes to learn are:
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
• Row Row Your Boat - • Wheels on the Bus
HOW TO OBSERVE
Spend some extra time explaining the importance of brushing your teeth to children. Replace your toothbrush. Use #NationalBrushDay when posting on social media.
HISTORY
In 2013, the Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives launched National Brush Day as an extension of the Kids’ Healthy Mouths public service advertising (PSA).
In August 2012. the coalition of more than thirty-five leading oral health organizations and the Ad Council began the campaign.
The observance is designed to remind and encourage parents to get their kids brushing their teeth for just two minutes, twice a day.
