Time's Up: Tooth-brushing Training for Your Children

We all know the drill.  Brush your teeth several times a day.  However, most of are always in a rush and taking care of our mouths turns into brushing our teeth as quickly as possible and heading for the door.  But brushing out teeth can actually not be very effective if it is done quickly.  Each person should spend at least two minutes every time they brush their teeth.  Spending just a couple of minutes on your teeth can keep them healthier in the long-run!  Now, with your children, it may be a little bit more of a challenge to keep them in the bathroom that long.  Don't you wish there was some sort of gadget you could get that would keep your children entertained as well as train them to brush their teeth every time for the two minutes?  Well now there is!  Trendy Kid  has come up with a handy device called the Wash and Brush Timer that teaches kids the appropriate time for washing their hands and brushing their teeth.  This little gadget will get your child excited to do both!  You can easily get this timer on Amazon for a cheap price!  How great to pay so little for such a long-term investment!

Diet Soda & Your Teeth

So, you've given up on that sugary substance known as soda pop once and for all - instead switching over to diet soda. You've scrapped the sugar and calories you're feeling pretty good about making a health decision. What if someone told you that your health decision isn't all that much better? 


In addition to continuing to stain your teeth, diet soda is still just as acidic as it's sugary counterpart. You'll never see a dentist cringe quite so much as you would from seeing them experience someone claiming diet soda is a healthy alternative to regular pop. Far from a healthy beverage, drinkers of diet colas should still be careful to maintain their dental hygiene just as they would with normal soda drinks. While you do escape the sugar associated with the carbonated beverage, everything else remains - including the enamel-destroying acid! Though it may end up helping you slim down your waist, diet soda and your teeth are not the best combination.
