I’m a mom – my $2 Dollar Tree trick is a must for getting kids to brush their teeth
IF you’re a parent, chances are you know the daily battle of trying to get your child to brush their teeth.
Avoid the frustration of watching your child lazily run a brush across their teeth with this easy hack.
TikTok account Bumps and Bottles, which specializes in mom hacks, shared a handy trick to encouraging your child to brush their teeth properly.
“You need to go to the Dollar Tree right now and grab this little dentist set, a packet of toothbrushes and a packet of Expo markers,” said the TikTok mom.
She explained: “Use the Expo markers to create cavities, food and germs on the little teeth, then have you little one clean the teeth by brushing the marker away.”
“This is so great for teaching them how to prevent cavities and why it’s so important to brush your teeth.”
