It’s a hit
An interview with Milad Shadrooh, ‘The Singing Dentist’, featured on the TV show Good Morning Britain after he developed methods to encourage children to brush their teeth more effectively.
Milad Shadrooh has his own YouTube channel where he posts new songs aimed at young children but which parody contemporay hits with which the kids and their parents are familiar. He was asked his opinion of the new Sonicare for Kids Connected – a new sonic toothbrush with features Bluetooth wireless technology and an interactive app, which are designed to help motivate children to brush more effectively and independently.
The current issues include a lack of awareness of correct brushing habits and lack of awareness of dietary aspects which both lead to tooth decay
Actually getting the kids in to the bathroom to do their teeth, and if they do, getting them to clean for long enough and brushing properly.
We have to try to make brushing fun… as much as it can be! Rewarding kids can be a good way, having a cool toothbrush would help and to ensure they clean for the right amount of time, you could use timers, sing songs, play tunes or use a visual aid which is entertaining for them to watch, whilst helping them adopt the correct brushing techniques.
