Do you PHYSICALLY BRUSH for your kids or only SUPERVISE??
Massive difference!! Until your children are 8 years old YOU MUST BRUSH FOR THEM! Kids think they are great but in most cases they don’t have the fine motor skills to remove the plaque properly when they are young. Make it a family affair in the bathroom to brush your kids teeth twice a day toothbrush 🪥🪥🪥🪥

Which toothbrush? Stick to the basics: soft and small head. Harder toothbrushes will damage your enamel and larger heads can be difficult to reach in all areas. Happy brushing!

Physically brushing your kids teeth is ESSENTIAL!

Until they are 8 years old a parent should be brushing their child’s teeth every morning after breakfast and before bed. It can be a struggle at times but persistent is key.

This ensures their decay risk remains as low as possible until their motor skills develop to brush properly themselves.
