Brushing children’s teeth with safe and healthy fluoride toothpaste for two minutes two times a day helps prevent tooth decay, the number one chronic childhood disease, says the American Dental Association.
This holiday season, nestled among the Legos and baby dolls, cartoon movie DVDs and Candyland game, make sure there’s a two-minute toothbrushing timer to keep little ones focused on teeth health. Oral B has teamed up with Disney to produce free online timers featuring popular animated movie characters as well as super heroes. These colorful, affordable timers are available as easy-to-download free apps and YouTube videos from the Crest website.
Remember, keep toothbrushing fun and effective. Use the right amount of children’s fluoride toothpaste: a thin smear the size of a grain of rice for babies up to age three, and a dot the size of a small pea for children ages three to six.
