Brushing with fluoride toothpaste
fights plaque and keeps
your smile bright!
Show your child the proper way to brush.
1. Place brush at an angle along outer gumline. Wiggle gently back and forth. Repeat for each tooth.
2. Brush inside surface of each tooth, using the wiggling technique in 1.
3. Brush chewing surface of each tooth.
4. Use tip of brush to brush behind each front tooth, both top and bottom.
5. Don’t forget to brush your tongue!
Every Snack Causes Plaque
= 20 minutes of plaque attack
20 minutes + 20 minutes + 20 minutes + 20 minutes + 20 minutes =
All at
once
Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, especially after eating breakfast and before bedtime.
Brushing gets rid of food and plaque – and fluoride keeps teeth strong and helps fight decay!
Limit the number of times you eat snacks each day.
Every time you eat or drink anything other than water, “plaque” bacteria attack your teeth. That’s why you shouldn’t eat snacks too many times during the day.
Visit the dentist regularly.
The dentist is your partner in oral health. Between checkups, you need to help by taking caring of your own teeth and gums every day!
