Best and worst foods for your teeth

Brushing toddlers’ teeth can be a challenging task, especially when they resist. Here are some tips and tricks to make the daunting task a little easier: 

  • Use a small-headed, soft-bristled toothbrush that fits in their mouth comfortably.
  • Brush their teeth twice a day with a small smear of fluoride toothpaste for kids ages 0-3 years and a pea size amount for kids ages 3-6 years.
  • Have the toddler lay down with their head in your lap on the bed, on the floor, on the couch – wherever is comfortable, so that you can have better access to their mouth and more control of the situation.
  • Create a fun experience by playing games, counting teeth, using silly voices, or having a dance party after brushing!
