Your teeth are very important to your daily life and, unlike sharks, you won’t keep growing more and more teeth if yours come out! Babies’ teeth begin to develop before they are born, but in most cases don’t come through until they’re between 6 and 12 months old. At this point, you should begin brushing their teeth with a soft baby tooth brush to help kids get use to the sensation and protect those pearly whites. Most children have a full set of 20 baby teeth by the time they’re 3 years old. By Kindergarten, these first teeth will start to fall out, making way for larger adult teeth. From the age of 3, children should be offered fluoride varnish application at least twice a year. Younger children may also be offered this treatment if your dentist thinks they need it.Your dentist or hygienist may give you more advice based on your own dental health and needs. Should I use an electric or manual toothbrush?

Using a mouthwash that contains fluoride can help prevent tooth decay, but don't use mouthwash (even a fluoride one) straight after brushing your teeth or it'll wash away the concentrated fluoride in the toothpaste left on your teeth. Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes to help keep your teeth and mouth healthy.Get more tips on taking care of children's teeth Don't rinse with water straight after toothbrushing Start brushing your baby's teeth as soon as the first milk tooth breaks through (usually at around 6 months, but it can be earlier or later).

Don't let children run around with a toothbrush in their mouth, as they may have an accident and hurt themselves. Take your child to the dentist when their first milk teeth appear. This is so they become familiar with the environment and get to know the dentist. The dentist can advise you on how to prevent decay and identify any oral health problems at an early stage. Just opening up the child's mouth for the dentist to take a look at is useful practice for the future. Fluoride varnish can be applied to both baby teeth and adult teeth. It involves painting a varnish that contains high levels of fluoride onto the surface of the tooth every 6 months to prevent decay. Some children may need this more often. It works by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.You can use interdental brushes or single-tufted brushes instead of flossing, especially if there are gaps between your teeth. Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth if you don't brush them properly. It contributes to gum disease and tooth decay. Children aged 7 and over should be able to brush their own teeth, but it's still a good idea to watch them to make sure they brush properly and for about 2 minutes.
