How to brush teeth for one-year-old baby

Teeth are very important parts of the body. Once the teeth become diseased or fall out for other reasons, it will have a great impact on the health of the body. Therefore, protecting teeth is very important and should be taken care of every day. Protecting teeth should also start from children, so that children can develop good habits of protecting teeth. So how do you brush your one-year-old baby’s teeth? Let us introduce it below.

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!

The above is the answer to the question of how to brush the teeth of a one-year-old baby. If you have children of this age at home, you can use the above methods to protect your child's teeth and help them develop good maintenance habits. In addition, we should also pay attention to giving children good training in living habits and eating habits so that they can grow and develop more healthily, which is very important for children.
