Active Little Smiles

Fun and educational programs to help educators, kids, and their parents learn about keeping healthy mouths for life!

Welcome

Getting your kids to brush their teeth can seem like another chore in an already busy schedule – I hear you as a fellow parent – but there’s a really good reason why we need to do this every day!

Hands up if your kids have ever complained about brushing their teeth? My kids definitely have! ‘Do we have to?’, ‘I don’t want to’, ‘Not again!’ The struggle is REAL! The problem is that dental decay in children is still a prominent health issue and if we don’t all brush and floss our teeth every day, our risk of dental decay increases, which can lead to lengthy treatments and costly bills.

The trick is getting your kids to want to brush and floss in an easy, exciting and enjoyable way – every day!

Active Little Thumbs

Thumb and finger sucking is a very common habit amongst young children. The issue is that long-term thumb and finger sucking habits can impact correct oral development of your child’s teeth, facial muscles, swallowing and breathing patterns and increase the need for orthodontic treatment.

The Active Little Thumbs Program helps your child to stop their thumb and finger sucking habits using methods that are child-friendly and easy to incorporate into your busy schedule. The best part, is that this program allows your child to say goodbye to their habit without any emotional stress or overwhelm.
