SMILE MONTH – TOP TIPS 2
1. Take your child to the dentist early, as soon as possible. This will help them used to the sight, sounds and smells of a dental practice.
2. When the first teeth start to appear, try using a toothbrush designed for children, with a small smear of fluoride toothpaste.
3. A child’s tooth brushing should be supervised until they are about 7 years old.
4. Use a timer or brush a long to a song to ensure your children are brushing for the correct amount of time.
5. Use a reward chart to track your children’s brushing habits and get them actively involved in brushing their teeth.

SMILE MONTH – TOP TIPS 1
1. Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste.
2. Clean in between your teeth at least once a day using interdental brushes or floss.
3. Make sure your toothpaste contains fluoride; it helps strengthen tooth enamel making it more resistant to decay.
4. Change your toothbrush every two to three months, or sooner if it becomes worn.
5. If you use mouthwash don’t use it directly after brushing as you rinse away the fluoride from your toothpaste.
