#5 When Do You Allow Your Child To Take Care of Their Own Oral Hygiene?

There are a couple of tricks to help you make
sure your child has enough dexterity to care for
his or her own oral hygiene.
The first is their handwriting. Can they print
neatly between the lines with equal spacing
and letter size?

Another tip is if your child is adept
at tying their own shoes. If your
child has mastered these tasks,
they should be able to brush their
own teeth with minimal
supervision. Otherwise, be
prepared to help them brush those
hard to reach spots.

Even when your child is old enough to brush alone,
they still may need some help remembering to
brush for two minutes. There are a lot of great
toothbrushes out there that will play a song while
they are brushing to remind them when the two
minutes are up. Or, you can have them sing a song
in their head that is approximately two minutes long.

The important thing to
remember is to make
brushing a fun,
rewarding experience
they will look forward
to everyday.
