When the school year kicks in, mornings can get hectic—breakfast on the table, backpacks packed, and everyone out the door on time. With so much going on, brushing teeth can sometimes be rushed or skipped altogether.
But keeping a consistent oral hygiene routine isn’t just about avoiding cavities—it’s about helping kids build lifelong habits that support their overall health. Fall is the perfect time to re-establish those routines, especially with cooler weather, changing schedules, and a fresh start to the school year.
Why Fall Is a Good Reset Point
The start of the school year naturally brings structure back into daily life. Adding consistent morning and evening brushing times into that framework makes it easier for kids to stick with the habit.
And with fall comes more comfort foods, seasonal treats, and—let’s be honest—a fair share of Halloween candy. That extra sugar can linger on teeth, making proper brushing more important than ever.
Practical Ways to Support Brushing Routines
Keep Oral Care Tools Accessible
When everything they need is in one place, kids are more likely to brush without reminders. Canary’s Kids’ Oral Hygiene Kits bundle toothbrushes, toothpaste tablets, and a travel tin in a ready-to-use set—making it simple for kids and parents alike.
Use Toothpaste They’ll Actually Use
Mint can be too strong for younger kids, and sticky paste can make a mess. Our Kids’ Toothpaste Tablets are lightly flavored, foam just enough, and are mess-free. They’re also perfectly portioned—no more squeezing too much out of the tube.
Build Brushing Into the Routine
Kids thrive on predictability. Set brushing at the same time each morning—right after breakfast, before getting dressed, or as part of a “ready to leave” checklist. The more it becomes second nature, the less it feels like a task they can skip.
Lead by Example
Kids notice what you do. Brushing together in the morning or before bed is a simple way to reinforce the habit without extra nagging. It turns oral care into a family routine, not just another chore.
