I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Orbit for Kids. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
To say I stress the importance of good dental hygiene to my kids, is an understatement. For 8 years of my life I wore braces, so caring for my teeth and teaching my kids is so important. I do what I can to keep them clean and cavity free. I am making sure my kids hold onto those same priorities, now that they are getting their permanent teeth, it’s more important than ever that they take care of their teeth. While the habit has to start young, it gets even more important when they get their “big people” teeth as my daughter says.
In between meals, when they can’t necessarily brush I need to have a backup plan, thanks to Orbit sugar free gum for kids I do. With , they can chew the sugar-free gum in between brushing. Chewing gum in between brushing is great because it aides in cleaning the mouth of food debris. It also stimulates saliva flow which helps protect teeth by reducing plaque acids and strengthening teeth. Orbit For Kids comes in two kid friendly flavors, bubblegum and strawberry-banana. We received the later flavor and it’s quite tasty. I imagine the original bubblegum flavor is just as good.
As a parent, it’s so important for me to teach my kids the important of oral hygiene and one way I can make them do it willingly is to make it a little more fun. Sure there are nights when we are tired and want to go to bed without brushing but that’s when I make it into a game or have them use their music toothbrushes. Now, part of that fun, includes the times when they may not have the option to brush their teeth. I can just give them Orbit for Kids and know they are keeping up with their routine in a little different way until they can get somewhere brushing is an option.
What is your kids oral hygiene routine? Do you use anything between brushing?

My daughter loves chewing gum…. and swallowing it 🙁
I did used to let them chew sugarfree gum between meals. It really does make a bit of a difference!
My nieces and nephew love Orbit gum and I like that it’s actually good for their oral health.
My kids LOVE this gum! It’s a great incentive for getting them to brush their teeth twice a day too!
