Brushing teeth

Brush twice a day.
Children under 7 years should be assisted by an adult.
Use short, gentle massaging movements.
Concentrate around the necks of the teeth and in between the teeth.
Brush the inside and outside surfaces of the teeth.
Electric toothbrushes can be effective in cleaning teeth.
Discuss additional cleaning aids (floss, interproximal brushes etc) with the dental staff.
