2-4 years old baby, children's toothbrush, adult assistance
Brush the teeth of 2-4-year-old babies, and use a small-headed, soft-bristled children's toothbrush.
Brush your teeth twice a day in the morning and evening, 2-3 minutes each time, the brushing method is the same as that of adults, up and down, left and right, inside and outside.
Before the baby is 7 years old, the fine hand movements cannot be done very well! Therefore, you must not let the baby brush his teeth!
The essentials for brushing the teeth of a 2-4 year old baby are:
Place the toothbrush on the tooth surface, gently press to bend the bristles, draw circles on the tooth surface, repeat the circle on each part more than 5 times, and then move to the next position, and overlap with the previous position. When brushing the inside of the teeth, you need to put the teeth upright.
For babies before the age of 4, it is best to have their parents brush their teeth. If possible, a knee-to-knee approach can be used.
Here's how:
Two parents sit knee to knee, the baby lies on the knees of two parents, one of whom fixes the child's hands and feet, and the other parent holds the child's head with one hand and brushes the child's teeth with the other.
For older children, parents can let their children sit in small chairs, lean on themselves, and brush their teeth.
