Make dentistry fun for children, and try out some fun art projects and activities to get them comfortable with their visit to Burleson Pediatric Dentistry.
February is Children's Dental Health Month, and at Burleson Pediatric Dentistry we’re celebrating by sharing fun activities you and your child can enjoy while learning more about dental health. Starting your children out with great dental habits is one of the best things you can do to set them up for a lifetime of great dental health. These activities will go a long way in helping your children have a great relationship with their dentist, and thinking that going to the dentist is fun! Your pediatric dentist in Burleson wants your child to be comfortable in our office, and take care of their teeth. Have fun with these activities: hands-on flossing, activity 2, and activity 3.

Children can decorate the printable tooth with cotton balls and googly eyes, decorating the tooth as needed!

Teeth Brushing Chart
Preschool Play and Learn is back at it again with a great Teeth Brushing Chart to help your child get in the habit of brushing their teeth! This free printable is cute, and children can color or decorate the sheet in any way that they want to personalize it! Since children need to learn to take care of their teeth morning and night, this cute, printable sheet will be an easy way for them to keep track of their dental care to prevent cavities and tooth decay.

Marshmallow Mouth Model
Sometimes, your child might be anxious or have questions about their first dental appointment. You can prepare your child for their first appointment by creating this fun mouth model from Ruffles and Rain Boots! Using construction paper and marshmallows, create a model of a mouth that you can use to “talk” about dental care! You can explain to your child what the dentist will be doing when they sit in their chair, from x-rays to cleaning their teeth. This silly, fun mouth model will help your child see the fun in the dentist, not the fear! Jump over to Ruffles and Rainboots for the directions and tips and tricks to make this craft easy and fun! https://rufflesandrainboots.com/first-dentist-appointment-prepare-your/
