Happy Healthy Tooth Brushing Activity!

Happy Healthy Tooth Brushing Activity

Tooth brushing should be done morning and night for 2 minutes with a soft bristled toothbrush.

Once all your child’s baby teeth have come through, a small amount of a childrens’ fluoridated toothpaste should be used.

To correctly brush your teeth, use small strokes in a circular motion, paying extra attention to the gum-line of all teeth and hard-to-reach back teeth.

Follow these instructions to ensure all surfaces of each tooth is cleaned properly:

1. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
2. Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
3. Clean the chewing surfaces
4. For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too

This tooth brushing activity is a fun and useful way to help your child understand the importance of brushing.
