The Children’s Oral Health PSAs aim to motivate parents to take action to reduce their children’s risk of oral disease by making sure their kids are brushing their teeth for two minutes, twice a day.
To demonstrate what a short amount of time 2 minutes is for such an important part of parenting, the PSAs feature parents trying – and struggling – to squeeze other parenting lessons into such a short time frame. These scenes suggest that while most parenting is hard, making sure your kids brush for 2 minutes, twice a day is one aspect that’s easier. Parents are directed to 2min2x.org, where they can find fun 2-minute videos that kids can watch while brushing.
Brushing for two minutes now can save your child from having severe tooth pain later. Two minutes, twice a day. They have the time. For fun, two minute videos to watch while brushing, go to www.2MIN2x.org/watch-brush.
