Empowering Children To Care About Teeth
|
| • | Help apply the correct amount of toothpaste and brush your teeth alongside your child |
| • | Buy your child a toothbrush with a small head and extra-soft bristles |
| • | Let your child choose a toothbrush |
| • | While your child brushes, play a favorite song or tell a two-minute story to establish the recommended length of time for brushing |
| • | Make sure each day includes crunchy vegetables and fruits. Offer these when you know your child is hungry |
| • | Schedule regular checkups and encourage your child to ask the dentist a question or two. We love to talk with kids about anything - not just teeth! |

If you are the parent of a small child, you've already discovered that establishing habits early saves a lot of grief later. Did you know that you can begin motivating children toward good oral health practices as young as 2-5 years of age?
