10 Tips for Young Children's Teeth
1. Brush in the morning and at night. Your child should learn how to brush properly. Teach by example. If they see you brush, they will also want to brush. It should take at least 2 minutes for a thorough brushing. Check on them occasionally and don't let them ignore home care which is the most important part of good oral hygiene
2. As early as possible teach them how to floss. If they can ride a bicycle they can also learn to floss properly. Teaching by example would be great for the whole family.
3. Choose the right brush. Toothbrushes should be soft and be the right size for your child's mouth. There are so many to choose from so let your child pick one that they really like and will be happy to brush with.
