More Dental and Oral Hygiene Activities for Kids
Why not make your own cardboard teeth from a cut up egg carton, or try painting with tooth brushes?
Brushing Teeth for Soft Toys
Take a spare tooth brush, even better if you can find a giant one, and have fun playing dentist, brushing the teeth of all the dolls, teddies and soft toys.
You can also get spare dental mirrors from your dental practice, and try other dental supplies like floss to familiarise the kids with all of these and get them comfortable.
Dry Erase Cavities
Take the tooth outline printable from this set, and laminate or place into a wipe clean pocket.
Add some germs, black marks or cavities with dry wipe markers and have the kids wipe them away to clean up the teeth.
Tooth collage
Again, using the tooth template, take some white tissue paper and rip and scrunch then glue down to fill the whole tooth bright shiny white and clean.
Paint with Real Tooth Paste
If you have a child who doesn’t like the taste of regular minty tooth paste, you can try using a little bit along with a toothbrush and allow your child to paint the tooth pictures using the real paste.
This is an easy and fun way to get more comfortable and familiar with the smell and look of the minty paste.
You could use a small paint palette and offer a few different tubes to try. Check out the different colors of each brand of toothpaste. Some even have stripes!
Of course, supervise young children with this activity.

Fun and unusual post! 2 of my friends who are dentists were wondering about dental blogs so I had to send this to them!
The idea of using an egg carton to practice brushing with paint is so creative! My daughter doesn’t always get every tooth and I tell her to pretend that she’s painting each tooth with paint to get every tooth. This is a great hands-on way to try it!
Thank you for making oral health a fun activity for kids.
Love these ideas! My kids love anything to do with paint. Such creative ways to teach all about dental health.
