Teaching Your Kids To Brush Their Teeth
An important part of being a parent is that we never stop teaching out kids. Just one of the things we do teach them is how to take care of their teeth. When it comes to teaching your child how to brush their teeth you want to teach them by example.
Start an everyday habit with your child or children when they are just infants. Yes even if your infant has not teeth. You can simple take a slightly damp wash cloth and gently rub their gums every night at bath time and every morning after breakfast. This will help not only to keep their gums healthy but get them use to doing this and will make brushing their teeth then they come in easier.
Once teeth start coming out you can then start to introduce them to a soft baby tooth brush. When they become older enough to hold their toothbrush you can let them take over for them themselves with your supervision. The process of teaching your child how to brush also help them to learn responsibility which is an added bonus.
