 To prevent tooth decay, your toddler should brush their teeth at least twice a day, particularly when going to bed at night. Use an ADA approved soft bristle toothbrush. Hard toothbrushes are not recommended. Brush at a 45-degree angle right on the gum line. Always try to reach the back molars as well.
Your child should also floss at least once a day. At night before bed is best. Use a sawing motion to get between the teeth and curve the floss into a “C” shape under the gum line. Be sure to clean up and down and the sides of teeth.
