Begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts, typically around 6 months of age. Use a soft-bristled, age-appropriate toothbrush.
Brush your child’s teeth twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed. Ensure that the brushing routine includes all surfaces of the teeth and the gums.
Start flossing as soon as your child has two teeth that touch. This helps remove plaque and food particles between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
If your child has a toothache:
-Rinse their mouth with warm salt water.
-Apply a cold compress to the outside of their cheek to reduce swelling.
–Contact your dentist for an appointment to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
Lead by example by maintaining your own dental hygiene routine. Praise your child for their efforts, make dental care a positive experience, and incorporate it into their daily routine.
