When should a child start brushing his own teeth?
First I applaud you for brushing your child’s teeth and also for wanting him to be self-sufficient. You can’t brush his teeth forever. There is not one set answer or age to stop assisting you child’s tooth brushing because all children learn new skills at different times. One strategy for now might be to let him brush his teeth first while you watch and coach him. Then after he is done brushing, look at the teeth, are the teeth clean? Now is the time to take your turn and brush any areas that he missed. He gets a turn brushing and mommy gets a turn. If you do this consistently he will progress to being a great tooth brusher. Don’t forget flossing; it is very important. It will take a child a longer time to learn how to floss; it is a more complicated task. READ MORE
