How to brush teeth for a one and a half year old baby

Developing good living habits is very important for good health. Only by maintaining better living habits can you protect your body from being harmed by diseases. Brushing your teeth regularly every day is a good habit. Once you develop this habit, your teeth will be well protected and your body will be healthier. So how should a one and a half year old baby brush his teeth? Let us introduce it to you below.

Some parents do not care about tooth decay in their children's deciduous teeth, and think that they can just pay attention to brushing their teeth when their permanent teeth grow out. This is a concept that needs to be corrected. At this time, children's gross motor skills and fine motor skills are developing rapidly, and they want to touch and play with everything. At this time, a toothbrush can become a good game prop for children to accept naturally and happily.

A one and a half year old baby can already stand. Parents can choose soft-bristled baby toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, flavored toothpaste, etc., and start to attract the child's attention from the toothbrushing utensils. The focus at this time is to let the baby have a direct impression of brushing teeth and stimulate the baby's enthusiasm. Don't be too demanding whether the baby's movements are correct. When teaching your baby to brush his teeth during this period, you should still focus more on the "joy of the game" rather than forcing the baby to learn it. If the baby is unwilling, don't force him. You can wait until he wants to play.

Starting from the age of two and a half, you can choose a toothbrush suitable for your baby's age group. Twice a day, morning and evening, stand behind your baby and teach him the correct way to brush his teeth. However, the actual toothbrushing work still requires the assistance of parents, because the baby's control ability is not very good at this time, and it is easy to accidentally swallow toothpaste foam and hurt the gums.

If you want your child to practice brushing his teeth obediently, you can make good use of the mirror. Because children of this age are very curious about themselves, the mother can guide him to look at himself in the mirror. If the child cries, stop and continue after his emotions have passed. Generally speaking, it is a good way to encourage babies to brush their teeth if they see the whole family brushing their teeth together and make it a must before going to bed every day!
