Learning how to brush up is a process, not a skill that appears at once. Children require accompaniment and an understandable routine. Giving them progressive autonomy can coexist with the adult supervision necessary to make their teeth clear.
A foreseeable routine
To choose stable moments of the day makes it easier to create a habit. A quiet environment, a mirror at his height or a short song can help make his task more clear. The goal isn't to turn hygiene into a competition but to repeat it in an assumed way.
To allow the child to start may increase his or her participation but an adult should review and complete according to his or her age and skills. To know how to hold a brush doesn't mean to achieve all surfaces properly.
Suitable brush and dough
The size of the head should allow easy access to the mouth. The choice of dough and quantity is consistent with age and occupational indications. Fluor is a caries prevention tool when used correctly.
Avoid presenting the dough as a snack. Teach him how to spit up his excess and keep his products out of his reach when they aren't used. If you have questions about the quantity, ask to be shown with the product you use.
Review what makes the habit difficult
Rejection can be related to brush sensation, taste, tiredness or discomfort. Observing what's going on is more useful than assuming that it's always about bad gain. If you have pain or blood repeatedly, you should check with them.
A small adaptation, as an acceptable flavour or easier to hold mango, can facilitate collaboration. No need to buy several devices before we know what the actual difficulties are.
Food and revisions
Hygiene works best with appropriate feeding habits. The frequency of exposure to sugars also matters. The revisions give an opportunity to evaluate the risk of caries, dental evolution and the need for family-specific advice.
