Healthy habits start at home - and brushing can be fun! Try choosing a favorite two-minute song to play while brushing. It's a simple way to help kids remember to brush twice a day for two minutes.

In our oral health education sessions, we use songs, stories, and kid-friendly characters to spark joy and build healthy habits that last a lifetime. These moments of learning are made possible by our generous supporters.

If you'd like to help bring oral health education and school-based care to more children, you can support our work here: givemn.org/story/RSS
