My older daughter had a dental appointment today, and although she does a relatively good job of brushing her teeth, she is starting to have some problems.  One issue is that she just doesn’t spend enough time brushing.  We have used timers before, but they tend to get lost, and they definitely clutter up the bathroom.

This toothbrush holder from Sevi offers a great solution. First off, it is absolutely adorable.  Made from wood, it features a sweet little girl perched atop a timer.  The cup holds your child’s toothbrush and other bathroom essentials, while the timer reminds her to keep brushing even when she thinks she is done.  You can purchase one of these cute little products for $29.99 at petitbaby.com, where it comes in many colors and styles suitable for boys and girls. I’m not sure it will solve all of my daughter’s dental issues, but I’m hopeful that it will make a nice (and attractive start).

Caring for baby’s gums and teeth is very important. Teething babies will benefit also from the gentle massaging of their gums.

The Gerber Tooth & Gum Cleanser helps to make the discipline of caring for baby’s gums and teeth a fun time for you and baby. It’s a little space of time when you can talk to your baby while you gently clean.

It’s never too early to teach our children dental hygiene. The benefits are priceless. You can purchase one of these for just $5.99 online at CookiesKids.com.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of purchasing an item like this when my children were babies? I think I wrapped their first curls and teeth in tissue and put them away with all the other keepsakes. Now I couldn’t even tell you which belongs to who! But this would make a precious gift for the newborn in your life.
