Parents can continue brushing their children’s teeth or practicing their own brushing under their parents’ supervision. Pay attention to the choice for children a comfortable toothbrush, fit, can brush all the surface of the teeth. Toothpaste for children needs the right amount of flour and their favorite flavor to help them get interested in brushing their teeth.
