It is suggested that a parent should watch/supervise their child while they brush their teeth  until around the age of six.  Here are some other helpful tips on dental care.

1) Make sure your child uses only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and take care that your child does not eat or swallow the toothpaste.

2) Use a soft bristle tooth brush

3) Brush the inside surfaces of all teeth first. Angle bristles toward the gum line. Gently brush back and forth. Make sure to clean all outside surfaces of the teeth in the same manor.

4) Place tooth brush so bristles are on the chewing surfaces of the teeth then brush gently back and forth.
