Brushing time
Knowing the scientific brushing time can keep children's teeth healthy. The best number and time of scientific brushing is "three, three, three". That is, brush your teeth three times a day, three minutes after each meal and three minutes each time. This is because 3 minutes after a meal is the moment when bacteria in the mouth begin to move and cause harm to teeth. If you put off brushing your teeth before going to bed, your teeth will be damaged. Brush your teeth for 3 minutes at a time, no more or less, which is most conducive to protecting your teeth.

When brushing your teeth, you should include three tooth surfaces: inner surface, outer surface and horizontal chewing surface. Pay special attention to cleaning the posterior molars (lingual side) and the upper molars (buccal side), because these places are the most easily missed places when the baby brushes his teeth.
The following steps can teach you how to brush your baby's teeth correctly:
1, first brush the outside of the upper and lower rows of teeth, put the toothbrush obliquely on the edge of the gum, and move the toothbrush up and down with moderate force in groups of two or three teeth.
2. When brushing the outside of the upper and lower teeth, the horizontal brush and the vertical brush are combined, and the circular brush rotates the brush, that is, the upper toothbrush is M "shaped and the lower toothbrush is W" shaped.
3. Then brush the inside of the teeth and repeat the above actions.
4. When brushing the inside of the door, the toothbrush should be placed upright, from the gum to the crown, with moderate strength, as well as the lower teeth.
5, to brush the chewing surface, put the toothbrush on the chewing surface and move back and forth.
In addition, you must adhere to the "three-two system" when brushing your teeth, that is, brush it three times a day and pay attention to it once before going to bed at night. You should brush all three surfaces of your teeth (cheeks, tongue and occlusal surface) carefully for 3 minutes each time.

3, adult toothbrush is not suitable for children, because the brush head is too big, the baby is uncomfortable to use, and the bristles may be too hard, which will wear the baby's teeth and gums.
4. Choose a toothbrush with a hard handle, so that you can exercise your muscle skills to the maximum extent.
5. Place the toothbrush vertically and keep it dry. Make sure that the bristles of each toothbrush do not touch each other to prevent bacteria from spreading from one toothbrush to the other.

Tips for teaching your baby to brush his teeth
1, equipment family-armed to the teeth
"The baby has been interested in the brushing behavior of her father and me for a long time. She often compares her little hand to a toothbrush and brushes it up and down in her mouth. Before I let her brush her teeth, I specially took her to the mall to let her choose her own brushing tools. She chose Mickey Mouse's toothbrush, yellow cup and mushroom toothpaste. She was very happy. Since then, brushing your teeth has become your baby's favorite game. "
2, mutual assistance-some people are happy and some people are worried.
"My trick is to let the baby brush his teeth when his father brushes his teeth, so that the baby has been clamoring to help his father brush his teeth. When I was brushing my baby's teeth, his attention was focused on brushing his father's teeth, and naturally he gave in. Naturally, it is his father who suffers. The baby's little hands are not heavy, which often makes dad very uncomfortable. "
3, demonstration family-you brush, I brush.
"After the baby learns to brush his teeth, he is often lazy, so I will brush his teeth with him before the baby goes to bed at night. The baby looked at me seriously, and he brushed it off seriously. After the baby sleeps, I often eat something and can only brush it again before going to bed. "
4. Story family-make-up.
"The baby doesn't like to brush his teeth, which makes people have a headache. One day, I accidentally got a new propaganda tape, which said that a child didn't like to brush his teeth and became the king of tooth decay. Many children don't like playing with him. Later, with the help of the doctor, the tooth decay king repaired his teeth and brushed his teeth every day. I'll play it for my baby. He is very interested and often asks to listen to it again. In this way, it is an active thing for the baby to brush his teeth. "
5. Competitors-Who is the best?
"My baby doesn't like to brush his teeth. In order to enhance his interest, we launched a family brush contest. Every morning and evening before going to bed, a family of three will rush to the bathroom to brush their teeth to see who brushes their teeth most actively, seriously and thoroughly, and the winner will get a small red flower. No, the baby has become the most active one to brush your teeth. "
6, counterexamples shock people-somewhat losing face.
"Children play to depend on as soon as they brush their teeth, and say a laundry list is of no help. What shall we do? One day while eating, my tooth accidentally fell on the bone and a piece fell off. The baby asked curiously, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" I said, "if mom doesn't pay attention to brushing her teeth, her teeth will be bad." Look, even delicious bones can't be chewed, so she can only drink porridge in the future. "In the future, the baby will leave without reminding him to brush his teeth, and he will say from time to time,' Mom doesn't brush her teeth and can't eat well'. Although I have served as a negative example, I think it is worthwhile to see the children brush their teeth carefully. "
