5 steps for brushing teeth with your child

 

Step 1

Smear a pea-sized amount of low-flouride toothpaste onto a soft children’s toothbrush.

Step 2

To properly brush children’s teeth, the parent or child should angle a soft-bristled toothbrush at 45 degrees towards the gums of the upper and lower teeth.

Step 3

Move the brush in gentle circles to clean the outer sides of the teeth and gums.

Step 4

The tip of the brush should be placed in an upright position to reach behind the front teeth on the top and bottom.

Step 5

Brush the tongue to remove bacteria on the surface. Encourage your child to spit out the toothpaste
