Do you brush your young child’s teeth? You should! Until 10 years of age, most children do not have the dexterity to properly clean their teeth. We recommend you brush for your child on a daily basis (after they try to brush by themselves first) until your child is 8 years old. Thereafter, you can reduce the frequency of this “parental brushing” until the child is brushing their teeth completely on their own at around 10 years of age.
Should you brush your child’s teeth or let them do it themselves?
