Your pediatric dentist in Medford (and everyone else) will tell you that there’s no better way to keep tiny teeth clean than to brush them twice each day. It’s ideal to have your kiddo brush their teeth in the morning before starting their day and at night before they head to bed. You’ll want to find a soft toothbrush for them with bristles that are rounded at the edge, so they’re gentler on younger gums and teeth. You can even opt for an electric toothbrush for your child. Today, there are many kid-friendly options on the market, featuring useful brushing tools that can help deep clean their teeth. When your child is ready to brush, give them a small, almost pea-sized amount of toothpaste on their toothbrush. You’ll want them to help teach them how to hold the brush at a 45-degree angle and brush all around their mouth (including the tongue) for at least two minutes.
