When children are very young then they need to have their teeth brushed for them, but as they get older they will undoubtedly want to brush on their own. We feel it is very important that young children learn how to care for their oral health. Learning to look after their teeth while they are still young will help them maintain great oral health hopefully for life.

When Should My Child Start Brushing Their Teeth on Their Own?

You will generally need to brush your child’s teeth for them until they are about age 7. After this they will still need supervision during brushing and you will probably need to continue flossing for them until about age 10. This is because young children often lack the dexterity required for flossing. Our oral health therapist does work closely with parents and can offer plenty of advice on how to make brushing and flossing more enjoyable for everyone.
