Kids

Resources for Parents

Want a fun way to for kids to chart tooth brushing? This tooth brushing chart was initially created by our clinic as a learning tool for our preschool dental hygiene presentations.  It’s also a colouring activity!

It’s important for parents and caregivers to know that kids age six and under will require assistance in brushing. We recommend the use of soft bristled toothbrushes. These should be replaced at least every 3-4 months or when the bristles are bent. 

Flossing is also an important part of maintaining good oral health. Flossing should start once your child have two teeth that are in contact with each other. As with brushing, kids age six and under will require assistance.
