Do you actively make sure your child\u2019s teeth are cleaned every single day? Just as with oral hygiene habits with adults, young children need to have their teeth cleaned and cared for on a daily basis. Listed below are a few tips and techniques to use for brushing your child\u2019s teeth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 You should begin brushing your child\u2019s teeth from the time the first tooth grows in until they can safely do the task themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Be sure to bring your child in for an oral examination to their pediatrician before they turn one year of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 For children under 3 years of age, a rice-sized dab of toothpaste should be used. For children 3-6, a pea-sized dab of toothpaste should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Use toothpaste that has the ADA Seal of Acceptance and has been recommended or approved by your child\u2019s pediatrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Never share utensils or dental cleaning tools between you and your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Always use a toothbrush with soft bristles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Brush your child\u2019s teeth at least twice every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
