Children around 3 years old have certain imitation ability, and this requirement will be made when they see adults or other children brushing their teeth. Parents should be inspired and induced. Of course, it is impossible for a 3-year-old child to master the method of brushing his teeth. For a period of time, parents do it for them, and brush it once in the morning and evening. After several months of practice and hands-on teaching, children's understanding ability is gradually improved, and finally they can operate independently, and form a good hygiene habit of brushing their teeth regularly every day. It is also common for children with strong understanding to learn to brush their teeth for less than a week.
In the stage of learning to brush teeth, children can brush themselves first, and then parents can brush them to ensure that they can meet the requirements of cleaning their mouths. Toothpaste is generally nontoxic. In order to prevent swallowing, it is best not to use toothpaste in the first few months, but to brush your teeth with a toothbrush dipped in water.
Parents should brush their children's teeth or teach them to practice brushing their teeth. They should cover everything from top to bottom, from left to right, from inside to outside, from front to back, and they must do it in a certain order, so that they can form the habit of grinding their teeth over time and avoid omission or formality.
Brush your teeth at night, not after meals, but before going to bed. Don't eat candy or snacks after brushing your teeth. Vegetables, radishes, apples, pears and other fruits are rich in cellulose. When chewing, they have a mushroom-like cleaning effect on the tooth surface. Children who can't brush their teeth eat more of these foods, which is good for oral cleaning.
