She's not even 3 years old… and she's already taking ownership of her health! 🥹💕
Today I was doing the dishes while Eva was watching her tablet when, completely out of nowhere, she asked for her Myochew!
No prompting. No reminding. All on her own!
This was the FIRST time she'd ever asked for it herself, and as both a holistic dentist and a mum, I couldn't have been prouder.
For those unfamiliar, the Myochew is an orthodontic chewing brush designed for children aged 2–8 years.
It's designed to:
✨ Encourage nasal breathing
✨ Exercise the tongue, lips and jaw muscles
✨ Support healthy oral muscle function
✨ Assist healthy dental and jaw development
✨ Assist with teeth cleaning
But here's what really struck me today…
She's not even 3, yet she's already learning that looking after her health is simply part of everyday life.
And THAT is exactly what I'm trying to teach my children.
Whether it's encouraging healthy breathing, being intentional about the water we drink, or making small changes to our everyday routines, my philosophy is the same.
Be proactive with your health, not reactive.
As a dentist, I've spent years treating problems after they've developed.
As a holistic dentist and mum, I'm increasingly passionate about helping families build healthy habits before problems arise.
Because health isn't just something we should think about when we're sick.
It's something we nurture every single day.
And watching Eva embrace that, before she's even turned 3, is a little reminder of why I do what I do. ❤️
I've included the Myochew information poster after the reel if you're curious to learn more.
What healthy habits are you teaching your little ones?
