The time comes when parents begin to worry about whether it is possible to start brushing their teeth to the child and what should be the brush? Dentists advise starting to brush children’s teeth immediately after the appearance of milk teeth, although some parents neglect this process, citing the fact that the milk teeth will soon fall out. But you must admit that healthy milk teeth are the key to the health of permanent teeth, to start instilling a child with the habit of morning and evening hygiene of the oral cavity is needed as early as possible.
To brush your teeth, the child needs to choose a toothbrush very thoroughly. A special attack, which is sold in a pharmacy, is suitable for the baby, for children under three years old you should choose a bristles with rubber grooves, as the bristle can damage the child’s gum. It is better that the children’s brush has a long handle, since the parents first brush the teeth of the child, and the comfortable thick handle will greatly facilitate the process. Starting from four years, you can already accustom the baby to independently brushing your teeth, for this, purchase a comfortable brush with a small head and a thick handle with rubber lining.
Very often parents offer children such a device as an electric toothbrush price in the store which is higher than the usual. Say that this is a definitely correct choice, you can’t. Some dentists believe that such a brush can only be given to children from 12 years of age, since it can injure still fragile dens and enamel of children of an earlier age.
