Resources

for Children

  • Brush your child’s teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Help your child brush their teeth until they have good brushing skills.
  • If your child is younger than 6, watch them brush. Make sure they use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and always spit it out rather than swallow.
  • Ask your child’s dentist to apply dental sealants when appropriate.
  • Drink water that contains fluoride.
