Brushing Tips for Children

For Infants (Birth – 2 Years):
-
Clean your baby’s gums and tongue gently using a clean, soft cloth or gauze after feeding and before bedtime.
-
Once the first tooth appears, use a soft, small-headed baby brush without toothpaste.
For Toddlers (2 – 6 Years):
-
Begin brushing twice daily under parental supervision.
-
Use a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste.
-
Encourage your child to brush in small, gentle circular motions.
-
Choose soft-bristled brushes to protect delicate gums.
For Older Children (6+ Years):
-
Teach independent brushing while continuing to monitor proper technique.

Replace the toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if bristles fray.

Reinforce brushing after every meal and flossing once daily for complete hygiene.
