For brushing teeth to effectively discharge its mandate, it must become a daily routine to get up after each meal and again before bedtime. Consistency is crucial, because plaque is formed continuously, and only removing it again and again may prevent their harmful effect.
But as important as respect this rule is to undertake a proper technique: if the brushing is wrong, does not fulfill its purpose and, worse, can be harmful, damaging the teeth and irritate the gums. It is important that parents know what is the correct technique for brushing teeth before you teach your children, because if the procedure is not learned well from the beginning, then it is difficult to correct.
Better yet, can request the cooperation of the dentist, who with the help of special models, can make it easier and effective understanding of the art and also, if necessary, you can monitor how the child performs. It is worthwhile to stress these aspects because studies conducted in this regard reveal a large percentage of children who do not brush their teeth often enough and that even among those who do, many do not know how to brush properly. If brushing is considered as what it is, a technique, and learn to do well, be certain to protect the teeth.
