Your Teeth can Last a Lifetime.

If your teeth are correctly cared for, they will last a lifetime. The best way to take care of your teeth is to start early.

Parents play a vital role in helping their children maintain healthy teeth. An excellent way to get your child started with tooth brushing is to educate them about oral health.

Start Your Children Early

Parents can clean babies’ teeth as soon as the baby has their first tooth. As children get older, they can use a baby toothbrush with a bit of toothpaste. Start teaching your children to brush at the age of two.

Brushes specifically made for children are essential because of the small size of their mouths and hands. Dental professionals recommend using a soft-bristle toothbrush and short, gentle, back-and-forth strokes.

The parents should help their children brush properly while they still learn how to do it properly. Sometimes parents will need to clean what their child hasn’t cleaned.

The correct way to brush

Only 120 seconds

Did you know proper brushing takes only 120 seconds? You hold your brush at a forty-five-degree (45°) angle towards your gum line.

Before the inner surfaces, you must clean their outer surfaces. Pay attention to the upper teeth when brushing the bottom teeth. Do not forget to clean your tongue.

Soft Bristles are best

Dental professionals recommend using a soft-bristled brush because gums are sensitive. A small head brush is also more efficient at cleaning hard-to-reach places like the back teeth.

What is the best toothpaste?

The individual’s circumstances will influence the choice of toothpaste. There are many kinds of toothpaste today on the market, each offering a different solution to various dental problems. Based on the condition of your mouth and gum sensitivity, your dentist can recommend the toothpaste and toothbrush that is best for you.

How About Flossing?

Flossing helps to clean your gums, teeth, and gums. You can do it twice daily or as directed by your dentist. As with brushing, flossing should be gentle on your gums. There are many floss types available to help you choose the right one for your particular condition. While it’s essential to train your children on proper flossing habits and set a routine, it can be fun to bring joy to the experience. Use colorful toothpaste and toothbrushes for your children. If your children are the same age, you may set a specific time for them to brush.
