Tools of the Trade
Learn how two two trusty tools help keep kids' teeth healthy.
It takes two tools to keep children’s smiles healthy for a lifetime: a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Toothbrush:
- Look for children’s toothbrushes that have small heads and soft bristles. Get children involved by letting them choose the color or pattern.
- Keep germs away by rinsing toothbrushes after brushing. Stand them up so they can air dry.
- Change children’s toothbrushes about every three months. If the bristles are no longer straight and firm, or if children have been sick, change the toothbrush right away.
Toothpaste:
- Help children learn to use the right amount of toothpaste by putting it on their toothbrushes. Children under age two need just a smear. Children ages two to five need a pea-size amount of toothpaste.
