Proper toothbrushing and flossing can prevent early childhood tooth decay and gum disease and maintain proper dental health. When a child’s 1st tooth comes in, a soft, damp cloth should be used to clean the mouth at least twice a day. As your child gets more teeth, a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride-free toothpaste may be used to clean teeth. Once your child can spit out the toothpaste, fluoride toothpaste should be used. By age 2 or 3, you can begin to teach your child how to brush. When children are 7 to 8 years old, they can generally brush on their own. Flossing can be a difficult skill for kids to master, and children under age 9 need assistance.
Whether you are assisting your child, or they are brushing and flossing on their own, the following techniques will result in a clean and healthy mouth:
In addition to regular toothbrushing and flossing, regular dental visits are necessary to ensure your child’s dental health. To supplement your child’s at-home care, Burg Children’s Dentistry has professional pediatric dentists and a fun atmosphere. Make an appointment today!
