BRUSHING A
CHILD'S TEETH
Few
children before the age of 5 can brush their teeth independently.
Monitor the brushing habits of your child. Brush twice daily. Use
fluoridated toothpaste of the size of a peanut on a baby brush.
Concentrate not only on the front but also the back teeth and not
only the outside but also the inside surfaces of the teeth.
Flossing
Flossing removes bacteria and
plaque that brushing can't reach. Floss your child's teeth daily.
When the child is old enough, a floss holder can help him or her
floss.
Fluoride
Fluoride makes the tooth enamel
stronger. This helps prevent cavities. Ask your dentist if your
child can be given fluoride supplements. The dentist may also
apply fluoride to your child's adult teeth at regularly checkups.
