Toothbrushing for kids

Make toothbrushing more fun with the Brush Song. The catchy tune lasts two minutes (as per recommended brushing time) and is designed to make toothbrushing a happy event, instead of at times being a struggle for parents.

The animation was developed for kids under the age of eight who are still learning how to brush and the lyrics take on our dental health messages – use a soft toothbrush with a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, and brush for two minutes, twice a day, every day.
