The best way to brush your toddler's teeth

We all know that the way and method of brushing teeth for children is very important. They should not brush their teeth randomly because their tooth enamel has not yet fully developed. If they brush their teeth randomly without mastering the correct method, it will cause damage to the tooth enamel. Therefore, it is very important for young children to master the correct method of brushing teeth. So what kind of brushing method is suitable for young children? Let us learn about the best way to brush teeth for young children.

Best Practices:

1. The correct way to brush your teeth is the "vertical brushing method". The so-called "vertical brushing" means using the toothbrush to follow the gaps between the teeth, brushing the upper teeth from top to bottom, and brushing the lower teeth from bottom to top. The occlusal surface can be brushed back and forth. As for how many times to brush your teeth every day, it is recommended to brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and not less than twice a day. Brush your teeth after breakfast and before going to bed at night, and rinse your mouth after lunch. Brushing your teeth at night is especially important. Especially for young children, who sleep for a long time, their mouths are in a static state for a long time, and the amount of saliva secreted is small, which is conducive to bacterial reproduction. If you go to bed without brushing your teeth at night, it will cause tooth decay and greatly increase the risk of tooth decay. Therefore, in order to protect children's white teeth, parents must urge their babies to brush their teeth every morning and evening.

2. It is best to brush your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening. Place the bristles on the teeth near the gums, with the bristles and tooth surface tilted at a 45-degree angle. When brushing the upper teeth, brush from top to bottom with the toothbrush; when brushing the lower teeth, brush from bottom to top with the toothbrush. Brush each tooth surface 8-10 times. When brushing your teeth, you should not only brush the outer sides of the teeth, but also the inner sides and biting surfaces of the teeth. Brush in a certain order, from left to right, and then from right to left. Brush your entire mouth for about 2-3 minutes. Don't use too much force when brushing your teeth. You need to brush carefully and seriously to remove the plaque. Children's deciduous teeth are smaller, so as long as they brush their teeth carefully, they do not need to use adult dental floss. When a child has food stuck in his teeth that cannot be removed, dental floss can be used to help remove the embedded food.
