Children love music, and a toothbrushing song can make brushing their teeth much more enjoyable. A catchy song distracts your child's attention from the sometimes unpleasant aspects of brushing their teeth and makes it a happy and relaxed time. With a good song, brushing your teeth almost becomes a game!

1. Choose a catchy song: A song that is cheerful and easy to hum along to, stays in your head and puts you in a good mood. Songs that your child already knows or enjoys listening to are often particularly motivating.
2. Keep it short and concise: A song that lasts about two minutes is ideal - that way it fits perfectly into the time recommended for brushing your teeth. This means that brushing your teeth is neither too short nor too long.
3. Funny and simple texts: A song for brushing teeth should have playful and motivating lyrics. If the words go with brushing your teeth, it's even more fun.
4. Use well-known melodies: Children often react positively to songs that they already know. A toothbrushing song that is one of their favourite songs can make the routine even more enjoyable.

To make it easier for you to choose, we have put together a playlist with the best songs for brushing your teeth. These songs will turn your children's dental care routine into a musical highlight. Take a look at the playlist and find the perfect song for your child!

In addition to the playlist, there are lots of great songs that you can try out. Here are some popular examples:

• "Zähneputzen, Zähneputzen" (Brushing your teeth, brushing your teeth) - A simple and cheerful song that describes the steps involved in brushing your teeth.
• "Der Zähneputz-Song" (The tooth brushing song) - A song made especially for brushing teeth that makes the routine entertaining.
• "Putze, putze, putze" (Brush, brush, brush) - A lively song that encourages children to brush their teeth with enthusiasm.

In addition to the musical fun, it is important that teeth brushing is also done properly. The CAI method (chewing surfaces, outer surfaces, inner surfaces) helps you to thoroughly clean all important areas of the teeth:

• Chewing surfaces: Start with the chewing surfaces of the teeth. They often collect a lot of leftovers.
• External surfaces: Then clean the outside of the teeth. Make sure that you brush thoroughly but gently.
• Interior surfaces: Finally, take care of the inner surfaces of the teeth, especially the back areas.

An electric toothbrush can be a great motivation for many children. It makes brushing easier and more thorough because it makes more brushing movements per minute than a manual toothbrush. There are special electric toothbrushes for children with soft bristles and a child-friendly design. Not only can they make brushing your teeth more effective, they can also make it a lot more fun.

If your child is allowed to choose their own toothbrush, they will be more enthusiastic about brushing their teeth. Let them choose a toothbrush that they like – be it with a colourful design or their favourite character. This makes daily tooth brushing a positive experience.

A toothbrushing song can make brushing your child's teeth much more enjoyable. Combine the musical fun with the KAI method, an electric toothbrush and choosing a personalised toothbrush to make dental care a positive part of everyday life.
