Kids should brush their teeth 2 times a day with a toothbrush that has soft bristles.  Put a  small strip of fluoride toothpaste  on the brush and move the brush in small circular motions. Hold the toothbrush at an angle while brushing and cover all areas between teeth and the surface of each tooth. Do this for several minutes to thoroughly brush your teeth.  You want to brush down on the upper teeth and brush up on the lower teeth and remember to brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth before you rinse.  Talk with your pediatric dentist about regular check-ups.
