The important thing of a toothbrush is that it is the right one for your child, in the market there are an infinity of them, but these should be chosen depending on the age of the child, so in a baby for example, a little casita should be used for its hygiene sterile or a brush like the deponent or a very soft bristle brush and small head.

In children from one year of age we can use brushes of different sizes and characteristics depending on their age.

The qualities that a toothbrush should have are the following:

1. Small head so that it reaches all areas of the mouth
2. Rounded anterior part or diamond tip termination
3. Dense area of ​​bristles
4. Synthetic bristle material
5. Soft and rounded at the end to allow proper cleaning
6. Long, round handle to make it easy to hold

The brushes keep bacteria and viruses in humid and dry environments so it is recommended that if the child has been sick the brush is replaced immediately.

To clean your children not only can use the paste and brush there are accessories that would help them to perform a perfect hygiene, such as flossing.

The use of the thread should always be supervised by an adult, and preferably be used by him since a child can get hurt, more or less at the age of 9 years is when we can begin to let them do it themselves.

The technique that should be used for its use is sliding in those teeth that are close together, gently and in horizontal movements put it until you feel it is released, and immediately slide it out.

We also have to complement the cleaning of the dentobacterial plate developer, which is recommended for those children who have a lot of plaque accumulation and in this way they can visualize the areas where they are accumulating more or where they are not brushing.

Just chew a pill or place a drop or two on the tongue and that the child goes through all the faces of their teeth the substance, it should not be passed, it spits and can be rinsed, not vigorously so that it does not disappear. Paint, and preferably only once, all teeth will be painted including soft tissues and tongue, and the areas that are most marked with a more intense color is the plaque dentobacteriana and the area that we should brush with more care.
