How to Make Brushing Fun for Kids with Autism: Creative Ideas & Tools

For children with autism, teeth brushing doesn’t have to be a struggle—it can be fun! Creating a fun, engaging brushing routine helps children with autism get used to the process and even enjoy it.

Creative Ideas to make brushing fun:

  • Use a fun toothbrush: Our three-sided toothbrush is not only more effective but also features a colorful, kid-friendly design that appeals to children.

  • Play brushing games: Turn brushing into a game by timing it or using a reward system. Set a timer for a few minutes and challenge your child to beat the clock.

  • Sing brushing songs: Turn on your child’s favorite brushing song and make it part of the routine. Songs with simple lyrics can encourage your child to brush along.

  • Incorporate toys: Let your child hold a favorite toy while brushing, or use a fun, interactive toothbrush holder to make it feel more like playtime.
