What is the proper way to brush my toddler’s teeth?
It’s a good idea to supervise your child’s brushing until the age of six: -Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. -Use a toothbrush with soft bristles. -Brush tongue-side surfaces first, where plaque accumulates most. -Angle bristles toward the gum-line. Brush gently back and forth. -It is important to also brush the gums gently. -Clean all cheek-side surfaces of the teeth. -Angle bristles toward the gum-line and brush gently back and forth. -Place brush so bristles are on the chewing surface of the teeth. -Brush gently back and forth.
