How to teach children to brush their teeth correctly?

First, cultivate children's awareness of brushing their teeth.

In addition to parents often brushing their teeth in front of their children and helping them brush their teeth, they can let their children know that they should brush their teeth every day, and they can also cultivate their awareness of brushing their teeth by watching cartoons, nursery rhymes and jingles.

1, watch cartoons of brushing your teeth

Parents can also refer to their children's hobbies, such as Dora, Page, Cat Handsome and other animated characters, and find the episode of learning to brush their teeth, so that their children can learn like "idols".

2, learn to brush your teeth children's songs

Recommendation: small toothbrush, in hand, open my mouth. Brush the upper teeth down and brush the lower teeth up. Brush left, brush right, brush inside and out. Brush in the morning, brush at night, brush clean without tooth decay. Smile after brushing your teeth, revealing shiny teeth.

Step 3 brush your teeth in jingle

Recommendation: Small toothbrush, hold it in your hand. Let's brush our teeth together. Brush the upper teeth down, the lower teeth up, the occlusal surface, and brush back and forth. Don't forget the inside of your teeth! Brush all the way up and down, inside and out, and brush your teeth to the extreme!

Secondly, there are two ways to teach children to brush their teeth.

After the child has the initial awareness of brushing his teeth, he can let the baby learn the specific brushing steps. You can watch the video of brushing your teeth, or parents can teach your baby by hand.

1, watch the brushing video.

Search online for videos of brushing your baby's teeth, such as Pap brushing, helping your child brush his teeth, correcting the brushing method for your child, and letting your child learn to brush his teeth while watching the video.

In addition, parents can correct what their children have not mastered and help them master the correct method of brushing their teeth.

Step 2 teach by hand

Parents can follow the steps of brushing their teeth: brush vertically from top to bottom and brush from bottom to top along the teeth; Then brush the upper and lower rows of teeth horizontally along the occlusal surface; Then gently brush horizontally along the junction of teeth and gums.

Moreover, it takes at least 3 minutes to brush your teeth every time, and each face should be brushed 15 to 20 times to achieve the purpose of cleaning your teeth.

I believe that the baby will gradually master the correct brushing method according to these three steps and after many exercises.

Of course, preparing a good set of toothbrush supplies can help your baby learn to brush his teeth faster.

It is recommended to prepare four kinds of toothbrush supplies:

1, waterproof gown to prevent children from getting wet when brushing their teeth.

2, soft toothbrush, silicone finger cover can not completely clean teeth.

3, baby's favorite toothpaste, use fruit-flavored toothpaste to lure children to brush their teeth every day.

4, a small stool, let the baby step on the stool and keep a moderate height with the sink.

But even if everything is well prepared, parents will always encounter various problems with their babies brushing their teeth. How to solve them?

Question 1: I bought a toothbrush, but my front teeth are too tight to brush. ...

Brush your teeth slowly. Parents must be gentle, ask their children why they refuse to brush their teeth, and then guide them to brush their teeth with stories, picture books and negative teaching materials. Parents can also brush their teeth with their babies to encourage them not to be afraid. Finally, children should be praised in time every time they brush their teeth to make their teeth shiny.

Question 2: The water was spit out immediately before it reached the mouth. What was spit out was not spit out, but flowed directly from the mouth.

If the child hasn't learned to vomit, don't squeeze toothpaste yet. Teach children to take a sip of water first, then grunt a few times, and then spit it out. Be careful not to let the child point at the nose when feeding water, and don't drink too much saliva at one breath.

Question 3: What if the baby cries as soon as he brushes his teeth?

Parents can enhance the fun of brushing their teeth. For example, change the taste of toothpaste, have a brushing competition with children, choose children's favorite dental appliances, and reward children with little stars to help them brush their teeth.
