It’s important to make sure your child is brushing their teeth two times per day. Once in the morning after breakfast and once before bed at night. Help your child brush until the age of 7 when they should be able to start doing a better job on their own.

Flossing is as important as brushing. Floss your child’s teeth or encourage the use of child flossers before bed each night to prevent decay from forming in between the teeth. If you are only brushing your child’s teeth then you are not cleaning all sides/surfaces and decay/cavities will form between the teeth.
