To understand this in detail, Jordan recently surveyed Malaysian parents to find out what their child’s smiles meant to them. From this, an exciting finding emerged where, compared to toys or screen time, 86% of the respondents said that family quality time is the number one factor that makes them smile. A healthy smile is undoubtedly one way children develop interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.
“Most parents can be too busy with the inevitable hustle and bustle of life that results in them missing out on some special moments, particularly within the crucial growing-up stage for the little ones. We embarked on the Jordan Can’t Smile Without You campaign as a personal and important mission for us. We know that it can be stressful knowing we cannot spend enough quality time with our children. It is the big bright, clean smiles of our children that we always remember and keep close to our heart as they grow older,” Jerry Ng, Country Manager for Malaysia, Thailand & Philippines at Jordan Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd, shared.

Good Oral Hygiene In Children
The survey also found that 97% of respondents use age-appropriate toothbrushes for their children, with 62% of respondents stating they change their children’s toothbrushes every three months.
“These are especially encouraging results as it shows that many parents are sufficiently aware of the necessity for proper oral hygiene amongst little ones,” Jerry continued. “At Jordan, we always highlight the importance of starting oral hygiene habits and education from a very young age; the early inculcation of these habits results in healthy, strong teeth as children grow up.”
Dr Noorhidayah Bt Zainal Aalam, Dental Lecturer, Department of Paediatric Dentistry Orthodontics; Faculty of Dentistry at Universiti Malaya, commented that good oral hygiene habits are crucial in helping children avoid teeth caries. “Caries is essentially caused by dental plaque that grows on mouth surfaces. It consists of bacteria that thrives off mainly sugar and refined carbohydrates, and it can eventually result in tooth cavities if left on tooth surfaces for long enough. Because it is one of the more common diseases worldwide, incorporating early oral hygiene education and consistent brushing habits can help keep caries and cavities at bay. A healthy smile greatly affects social interaction, which is important in how children are seen, felt, and perceived by others. Studies have also shown that children without caries smile more positively and show more teeth when smiling. As parents, we must encourage good oral hygiene habits for our children to have a better quality of life.”
The Jordan Kids Universe Steps range consists of 3 key toothbrushes that ensure your little ones’ pearly whites are cleaned and protected in the cleanest, most gentle and effective way in three main age groups: Step 1 (0-2 years); Step 2 (3-5 years), and Step 3 (6-9 years).
