How to Get Your Kids To Brush Their Teeth: Oral Hygiene Skills
Episode 4
Monday, 9 February, 2026

We're talking oral hygiene! My friend and our family dental hygienist, Megan Robbins, teaches us how to help our kids keep their teeth sparkly clean, including a demo with some giant choppers—so you might want to watch this one on YouTube rather than just listening. She'll answer some of your burning questions, like whether you should you floss first or brush first? Which would win in a fight--regular floss, flossers, toothpicks, or waterpicks? How bad are energy drinks and soda for your teeth? What about vaping? And what's the deal with fluoride? We also talk about strategies for kids who don't want to brush, and things may get a little out of hand when I decide to prove just how large my big, podcasting mouth really is.
