The above FREE Tooth Brushing Chart For Kids And Children, is a great incentive for both parents and children to get involved in regular Tooth Brushing together. It can help create routine for regular Tooth Brushing, both in the morning and at night, everyday of the week for the whole family.
The FREE Tooth Brushing Chart For Kids And Children, includes areas to either add stickers or just to tick with a pen. This can help ensure that no Teeth Cleaning times are missed, whilst keeping your child or children, motivated towards completing the Teeth Brushing Reward Chart.
If you can, try to avoid incentivising your child or children with Sugary treats and perhaps replace the incentives with stickers that they like, or alternatively healthy snacks that will be better for their Oral Health in the long term as they grow up.
Oral Health Foundation Dental Statistics…
As we’ve recently highlighted in one of our latest News Articles – National Smile Month 2020 – Dental Statistics & Infographic – Too much Sugar is most certainly one of the biggest problems for Children’s Oral Health:
- In some cases, almost 3 times the recommended daily amount of Sugar is being consumed.
- An average of 3 School Days missed every year due to Dental Problems.
- 7926 Children under 5 have had Teeth Extracted. Tooth Decay is the most common reason a child is admitted to hospital.
Top Tips For Tooth Brushing With Your Kids…
- Brush teeth and gums thoroughly with a fluoride toothpaste last thing at night and at least on one other occasion during the day, ideally before breakfast.
- Children under 3 years old should have no more than a smear of toothpaste with no less than 1000ppm of fluoride content.
- Children over 3 years of age should use no more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste with at least 1000ppm of fluoride content.
