Our children sometimes disregard brushing the teeth especially during at night when they are too tired of playing and we just have to force them to eat and then suddenly lay down and fall asleep. We should help them in their attitude especially in brushing teeth, this is not a big issue, indeed. But this should not be disregarded for this may cause bad for the health of our little ones. We should make sure our little ones clean their teeth to remove the germs that build up in their mouth every day. Bacteria in plaque produces acids that over time dissolves the enamel of the tooth causing cavity. In motivating them and for a kid who just start to learn brushing teeth on their own, just put a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, at least brush the teeth twice daily, day and night and or other occasion. Brush teeth for about 2 minutes each time and it should be up and down and also include the tongue. And avoid sugary food or drink, it is not good for our teeth as this can cause decay. Thanks for reading.

very good discussion. Good for you. dental hygiene in children is very important. tovo everything depends on us parents. because children watch and imitate us. it is important that we teach them how my kids so I've learned when I brush my teeth and they with me. and that means the morning and evening so their teeth are healthy. nice day!

Yes, it's true. As parents, we should be a good model to our little ones. We are their first teacher, so we carry this responsibility so our children can learn a lot.
