Kodomo
means children in Japanese. Fittingly, the Kodomo Lion brand provides oral care
solutions developed exclusively for children from 6 months to 12 years of age.
It includes two toothbrush ranges that cater for different stages of oral
development, and four variants of children’s toothpaste.
The
need for an oral care campaign specifically targeting children and their
parents is pressing as tooth decay scientifically known as dental cariesaffects
the physical and mental development of children, yet research studies done
among Malaysian children estimates that between 7 out of 10 children in
Malaysia have this oral health problem.
This
is why the brand is launching the Kodomo Lion Healthy Teeth, Happy Smile campaign
that engages parents and children to make tooth-brushing a fun and healthy
family bonding activity, where parents model good brushing behaviours to
children to set them on the path to lifelong good oral health.
“As
the number one children’s toothpaste brand in Malaysia, Kodomo Lion feels a
duty to promote better oral health for children. The recommendations that we
are making are based on years of research and development by LION Japan, the
No.1 Oral Care company in Japan oral care products
that are suited for every stage of a child’s development for better long-term
oral health.”
“Our
campaign is simple, as kids need Healthy Teeth for Happy Smile. It is easy to achieve
– equip them with the right toothpaste, toothbrush, technique and the ideal
role model, their parents to learn from. With just a bit of effort, and some
precious daily bonding time every child can have Healthy Teeth, Happy Smile for
life. It is important to look after children milk teeth as it will pave the way
for good healthy adult teeth,” said Southern Lion Sdn Bhd, Senior Brand
Manager, Oral Care Division, Ms Loo Mei Fong.
Kids
and parents were encouraged to try the activities as a team before joining an
interactive session with noted dental surgeon, Dr Lim Zi Wei who shared on the
challenges of pre-schooler oral care, and the role of parents in forming good
oral care habits.
“A
child’s dental health is just as important as his or her overall well-being.
Once your child starts to have first teeth, it is time to pick up a tube of
children fluoridated toothpaste and start brushing. Brushing a baby or toddler's
teeth should be a task for parents, at least until your child is able to brush
on his or her own around age 5 or older.”
“The
time spent together between parents and children while brushing teeth is
precious for bonding. It also helps to keep cavities at bay and instil a
lifetime of healthy dental habits. As your child grows, plan on routine dental
check-ups based on your dentist's recommendations. Keeping sugary foods in
check, encouraging regular brushing and flossing, and working with your dentist
will lead to good dental health,” Dr Lim explained.
Kodomo
Lion will also collaborate with the Ministry of Health Malaysia to take this
campaign to pre-schools. The brand has been working with schools in Johor for
the past 20 years on children’s oral care, and will be expanding to other
states.
Kodomo Children’s Toothpaste comes in fun designs with Dr Lion and
buddies and four sugar-free flavours (Strawberry, Grape, Orange and Apple) to make brushing effective and fun.
