Along with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy is an emblem of a child’s imagination, helping to guide them through the younger years by explaining why their teeth are starting to wobble, and the reward they may receive when it falls out. This can be a coin or a figurine, a booklet or just a nice note thanking the child.
Educating children on the importance of looking after the teeth and gingivae is vital, setting them up for a proactive future where consistent daily oral hygiene lowers the risk of oral disease. Encouraging parents and guardians to maintain the Tooth Fairy tale can increase a child’s engagement with looking after their teeth.
Fantasy meets reality
To help paediatric patients better understand the long-term value of toothbrushing, Curaprox has launched the Tooth Fairy Gift Set, combining the iconic appeal of the fantasy character with first-class oral hygiene products.
Chief among these is the Curaprox Kids Toothbrush. Available in six dazzling colours – blue, pink, green, purple, red, orange – the toothbrush is visually enticing, helping to reduce any anxieties or discomfort that some paediatric patients may have. Suitable for children aged 4-12, the toothbrush contains 5,500 super-soft filaments. These are gentle on the teeth and gingivae whilst effectively removing plaque to protect the emerging secondary teeth.
The Kids Toothbrush is designed for optimal handling and efficiency. The octagonal handle comfortably sits in both smaller and larger hands, should the parent/guardian need to assist. The angled head also ensures excellent control and better access to the tooth surfaces, aiding children in honing the correct toothbrushing technique.
Fruity flavour
A great toothbrush needs a great toothpaste, and the Tooth Fairy Gift Set contains a Curaprox Kids Watermelon Toothpaste. It contains 1,450ppm fluoride, providing a daily defence against cavities and keeping the enamel and gingivae strong and healthy.
Whilst mint toothpastes may be too intense for children, the Kids Watermelon Toothpaste brings the cool taste of summer to every brush time. With its fruity punch, compliance will increase. Furthermore, no harmful ingredients are used to achieve the pleasant taste, with enzymes, fluoride, sorbitol and a dash of xylitol all working together to strengthen the teeth and prevent the spread of oral diseases.
Unique resources
What makes the Tooth Fairy Gift Set unique is the array of resources it provides to boost understanding and toothbrushing performance. This includes a five-step guide to cleaning teeth and a tooth loss chart to increase children’s interest in their oral health. The latter uses a simple diagram for children to work out which tooth they may have just lost, then they can mark the date. Despite its simplicity, the chart can improve children’s understanding of their own dental anatomy. Supporting this further is the series of five information videos that the child receives every 10 weeks directly from the Tooth Fairy and her helpers; professional dental hygienists. These give helpful hints and tips on how and why it is important to maintain good oral hygiene habits.
For interacting with the Tooth Fairy, the set comes with a fun hanging sign that can be placed on the bedroom door handle. A sleek tooth pouch is included for children to hold their lost tooth and tuck under the pillow.
A helping hand
To support the parents/guardians, the Tooth Fairy Gift Set contains special envelopes, notes and tooth receipts. These add to the excitement the following morning, with children able to open the envelope and read the note from the Tooth Fairy.
As a bonus, the parents/guardians receive a discount code for the CS 5460 Triple Pack of toothbrushes. This enables them to join their child in harnessing the excellent cleaning power of Curaprox products.
The Tooth Fairy Gift Set is lovingly designed to appeal to children, stimulating their imagination whilst increasing their interest in looking after their oral health. Through careful education and the reliable oral hygiene products from Curaprox, the next generation can be more compliant and proactive in their self-care from a young age, setting them up for a healthier future.
