I know I am not the only one who has noticed that my kids are getting more tongue cleaning than they used to.
When I was a kid, my wife and I would have to constantly remind my children to stop sucking on toothbrushes, toothpastes, or toothpaste, as if they were chewing a tooth.
It wasn’t a fun experience.
We had to remind them, “It’s okay to suck on toothbrush bristles.”
I remember my wife saying, “But we used to use toothbrush bristles.
It was the only way for them to know they were sucking on the toothbrush.”
Now, I tell my kids to “just suck on the side of the tooth brush.”
This is important, because if they suck on one side, they’ll get a toothpick stuck in the mouth and it won’t go away.
That’s why they have to learn that it’s OK to stop brushing if the toothpick is stuck.
I think it’s important for parents to do the same for their kids.
They should ask them if they want to have a toothbrush with a “mouthpiece.”
That way, if they are getting the toothpaste and toothbrush, they will have a clear indication to stop and not have to worry about it coming out.
As soon as they can, I teach them to use the mouthpiece when they have a problem with a toothpaste.
For instance, they might ask me if I want a tooth brush with a mouthpiece or not.
They might ask, “Can you put it in the toothbrushing machine?”
I tell them to put it where they can see it.
When they put it there, it’ll only be there if they don’t remove the tooth.
For my kids, this is a good start.
But I would like to make sure they are taught to not suck on a toothbrushed part of the handle.
I tell children, “You will learn to suck only on the teeth on the top and bottom.”
That means the bottom of the mouth.
If I give my kids the tooth brushes with the mouthpieces, they don,t have to remove the teeth.
I try to make it clear that if you don’t want to suck the tooth or mouthpiece, just put the tooth in the machine.
So now, I just tell them, if you want a mouth piece, put it into the toothbristle machine.
If you don,’t want it, put the mouthbrush in the hand-held toothbrush machine.
For the last two weeks, I have been using a different method.
My wife and my daughter were having a big fight when I first started this.
She had been having trouble getting a tooth to stick to her toothbrush because she was always brushing it with her mouth.
So she would put the tongue cleaner on her teeth and then she would stop.
But, once I did this, her toothbricking started getting better.
I wanted to make certain I did the right thing.
I was surprised that she would still have to use tongue cleaner even though it had a mouth part.
She said, “I can’t stop using the tooth cleaners.”
But she did use the tongue cleaners on the first day.
I said, you know what?
If you want to get to the bottom, you have to stop.
I teach my daughter to put the teeth into the mouthparts.
That way she can learn to do things that are better for her.
When she wants to put a tooth in a tooth-brush, she just holds it out there and pushes it in.
I say, “No, no, no.
Stop!”
I teach her to put her mouthparts into the machine when she needs to use them.
So, now, my daughter can suck the teeth when she wants, and I don’t have to have to teach her how to use a tooth that she doesn’t want.
