Children are sometimes lazy
The St James Dental Group

• Children are sometimes lazy when it comes to
  brushing their teeth. Even if they fully
  understood the importance of maintaining clean
  teeth, they do not like brushing.

3
They may try to bluff you!
The St James Dental Group

• They sometimes bluff and tell you that they have
  already brushed, even if they really havent.
  Caring for your childrens teeth means
  encouraging them to brush regularly.

4
Check to make sure!
The St James Dental Group

• You really have to check on them if they have
  brushed or not. Of course, if your child is a
  toddler, then you should be the one to brush
  their teeth for them.

Children are wise
The St James Dental Group

• Children are wise and got a handful of tricks to
  use on you. To counter that, you should also have
  your own to use on them. Here are few tricks to
  make them get busted on brushing

The dry tooth brush
The St James Dental Group

1. Dry tooth brush. If your child told you that he
   already brushed his teeth only a few minutes ago,
   you should expect that his toothbrush is still
   wet when you check on it. Dry toothbrush means it
   is unused.

7
Food between the teeth
The St James Dental Group

1. Food between the teeth. Actually, it is not only
   food that you can see between his teeth when he
   does not brush. You can also see sticky plaque
   hanging around them. His tongue may also look
   whitish due to thick deposits of plaque.
   Remember, bacteria love plaque!

8
The squeaky test
The St James Dental Group

1. Flanked the squeaky test. This is the most
   effective toothbrush test of all. If you notice,
   freshly brushed teeth are clear and have no
   sticky plaque on it. Ask you child to gently rub
   his wet fingers on his teeth. If it is clean, it
   will surely produce squeaking sound.

9
Bad breath!
The St James Dental Group

1. Bad breath. If you can smell your childs bad
   breath then, BUSTED! He did not brush. Foul
   breath is caused by food debris trapped between
   teeth. Flossing and brushing will remove these
   and your child will have a fresh mouth.

10
Occurrence of toothache
The St James Dental Group

• Occurrence of toothache. If your child has
  developed a toothache, this means that he or she
  is not brushing at all or not brushing correctly.
  Toothache is a real sign of bacterial invasion
  (bacteria attaching tooth structure).
• If this happens, take him or her to the dentist
  right away to alleviate the pain. The dentist may
  advise that your child needs a filling or other
  intervention that is needed for his teeth.

11
Good oral hygiene
The St James Dental Group

• Good oral hygiene is the best way to keep your
  childs teeth healthy. Training your child to
  brush and floss regularly will become a good
  habit (daily routine) and will help him avoid
  plaque and tooth decay.

12
Regular dental exams
The St James Dental Group

• But remember this is not enough, you should also
  take him regularly for dental exams and dental
  cleanings.

13
Your dentist can help!
The St James Dental Group

• Your dentist will help you take care of your
  childs teeth and teach him or her the proper way
  of brushing and flossing. American dental
  Association recommends a routine check-up and
  dental cleaning every 6 months.
