Brush teeth The most important thing is: brush your teeth at least twice a day. The nasty caries bacteria don't stand a chance! Make this habit for your children. Many still believe that teeth need to be scrubbed firmly. But that's not true. You can injure the gums with it. How to do it right: 1. First, brush all the chewing surfaces; these are the parts of the teeth that are used to chew food after biting off. Start at the back of each side and then move forward towards the mouth.

We would be happy to show you the right way to brush the teeth again in our practice.
Floss Children should also floss regularly, that is, once a day. The molars in particular are often so tight that the toothbrush cannot reach the spaces between the teeth. To make handling the floss easier and to make it attractive for the children, there are now very nice holders, some in the form of small colorful animals. If they are unsure how to use it, have it show in the dental office.
The toothbrush It is best if they use a children's toothbrush. Because the handle and the head are the right sizes for them. The bristles should be soft so that they don't damage their gums while brushing. Sometimes an electric toothbrush is better. We will tell them in our practice which toothbrush is best for their teeth. When they have finished brushing their teeth, they should rinse the bristles with water and shake out the brush. Then put the brush upside down in their toothbrush cup to dry. After two months at the latest, the toothbrush is old and they need a new one.
Eat and drink healthy Do they like sweets, cakes, and chocolate? They are not the only one who likes to eat this. Because of the little caries bacteria in their mouth like the sugar in it. They need it as food and turn it into acid. The acid can make small holes in their teeth, which can then gradually grow larger. Incidentally, such a hole is called tooth decay; they’ve probably heard that before. But they can prevent that. By brushing and not eating or drinking sweets that often. It is best to only eat a piece of chocolate or cake or drink something sweet now and then. For example, after lunch. Fruits and drinks that are very acidic can also make holes in their teeth. For example, lemonade, cola, or fruit juice. Therefore, they shouldn't drink or eat them too often. Water and tea without sugar are better for their teeth. They taste good and also quench their thirst.
