It’s one thing to see your child off to a slumber party (especially if it’s the first one). It’s another issue altogether to have no control over how nightly dental hygiene is going to go. Will your child brush? Will flossing happen? Should you show up in your robe and slippers around bedtime to make sure all is going well or would that be a bit embarrassing for your son or daughter? When your usual routine is interrupted in this way, the challenge can feel quite enormous. Fortunately, we are here to swoop in with easy-to-follow advice that will help keep your blood pressure from spiking.

Send A Note Or Talk With Other Parents

When you’re worried about your child’s dental hygiene during a slumber party, it’s best to take a proactive step, so you know you have tried! You should feel comfortable speaking with your child’s friend’s parents about their habits and letting them in on any particulars when it comes to your child’s needs. Or, send a note along with instructions (and fingers crossed that your little one remembers to deliver it).

Pack Up The Essentials

Pack up essential dental hygiene products for your child in a fun sleepover bag, so necessary items are within reach. A toothbrush and toothpaste will do the trick! Talk over your expectations with your child, so he or she remembers to brush before getting into bed.

Remember To Relax!

Remember, you are brushing and flossing alongside your child at home. One slumber party isn’t the end all of your child’s dental hygiene! It will get easier and easier as this habit becomes second nature to your son or daughter.
