Brushing for Toddlers – A Fun Start to Healthy Smiles
At The Confi Dental Clinic in Dickinson, TX, we remind parents that oral care begins earlier than most think. Baby teeth may be small, but they play a huge role in your child’s health and development. Teaching toddlers to brush properly helps prevent cavities and sets the stage for lifelong dental health.
Start by using a soft-bristled toothbrush with a rice-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste. Brushing should be done twice a day—once in the morning and once before bedtime. For toddlers, keeping routines fun makes all the difference. Sing songs, set a timer, or let them pick their own toothbrush with their favorite colors or characters.
Parents should supervise brushing until children are able to spit out toothpaste and clean effectively on their own, usually around age 6 or 7. In the meantime, guiding their hand while brushing can help teach proper circular motions.
At Confi Dental Clinic, we believe toddler brushing should be positive and stress-free. We support families with guidance and dental checkups that ensure children’s teeth grow strong and healthy.
