Children in the age group of 3 to 6 years old are already starting kindergarten. In fact, children learn to imitate and tend to brush their own teeth after the age of 2. However, because of their young age, short attention span and poor manual dexterity, children cannot brush their teeth thoroughly on their own. So basically, at this stage, children brush by themselves first, and then moms check to make sure that every tooth is taken care of. What should mothers pay attention to at this stage? First, the choice of toothbrush. The basic principles of toothbrush selection for children under 3 years old are the same, mainly small brush head, soft bristles, easy to grasp brush handle, and suitable for children’s milk teeth at this stage. As this stage of children tend to do it themselves, the fun of toothbrush to be more prominent, love to brush teeth may be a toothbrush distance. Second, the amount and choice of toothpaste. 1, the choice of toothpaste: it is still recommended to use toothpaste marked with fluoride, safe and secure. Of course, you can still choose according to the taste of children. ps: recently come to see the teeth of the little fresh meat are so fond of strawberry flavor it! 2, the amount of toothpaste: children over 3 years old can already spit, so it is recommended to use a pea-sized amount for children aged 3 to 6 years old to avoid and reduce the amount of toothpaste swallowed by children. Third, the method of brushing teeth. Since children are too young and have limited dexterity to master complex brushing techniques, adult brushing methods are not recommended. We recommend that parents teach their children to learn the easy-to-grasp circular brushing method. Before brushing, teach your child how to hold the toothbrush. Generally, the pencil grip is used, as shown below. This toothbrush is designed to make it easier for children to hold it with their thumbs and brush their teeth. Step 1: With the child’s mouth closed, the toothbrush enters the buccal space of the back teeth, the bristles lightly touch the gum area of the last molar of the lower jaw, using a faster, wider circular motion and a clockwise chatter. In the second step, when you get to the front teeth area, mom lets the child put the incisive edge of the teeth in contact with the incisive edge (the incisive edge is the edge of the incisive teeth, for moms who don’t understand, see the first article on science), still doing a clockwise circular quiver. The third step is to brush the inside of the large teeth behind. Moms should not neglect this step. The main point of this step is to do a short distance of 5 to 10 round trips from the upper jaw to the lower jaw, using 2 teeth as a unit. The fourth step is to brush mainly the inside of the front teeth. The toothbrush is placed vertically on the tooth surface of the front teeth so that the bristles on the front of the toothbrush touch the edge of the gums, and when brushing the upper jaw, brush from the top down. Step 5 is basically the same as step 4, except that when brushing the lower jaw, brush from the bottom up. In the sixth step, when brushing the occlusal surface, point the bristles at the occlusal surface and brush back and forth for a short distance with a little force. Fourth, how to check the mother’s brushing. Given the poor manual dexterity of children at this stage, it is especially important for mothers to check. For younger children, the mother can still use the following posture. If the child is a little older, the mother can also adopt the following posture. Of course, mothers can brush their teeth together with their children! The mother stands on the right side or behind the child, so that the child can open her mouth wide or tilt her head up so that she can see all the teeth of the child. This should also be considered a good parent-child activity!
