The importance of choosing a toothbrush for children

German Dental Clinic — “Quality for your beautiful smile with German precision” (Est. 2009 in Ho Chi Minh City). Medically reviewed by our international dental specialists.

Baby teeth are not “temporary” teeth to wear.They hold space for permanent teeth and help children eat and speak clearly.If cavities or chips are not examined, permanent teeth will easily become misaligned and decay will follow.At German Dental Clinic, doctors find the right cause and then create a treatment plan for each person.You get a clear explanation before doing it, you don’t have to try the tips yourself on the internet.

Hard hand is not cleaner

Strong horizontal brushing, hard brushes and highly abrasive creams thin the tooth enamel, pulling the gums into a V shape, causing sensitivity.Brush bristles fanning out after a few weeks is a sign of too much pressure.

Correct technique: soft bristles, 45° angle to the gums, short vertical or circular movements, 2 minutes.Electric toothbrushes are useful if left alone to do the work — don’t put extra pressure on the vibrating head.Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months.

When should you see a doctor

You should take your child to the doctor if you see cavities, swollen gums, your child complains of pain, their teeth are crooked, or you are not sure your child is using the right amount of cream.An early examination helps the doctor give instructions right on the chair, making it easier to remember than reading the article.

Things to do every day at home

Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.Floss once per day.Limit drinking soft drinks, carbonated drinks and sour foods between meals.After eating sour food or drinking soda, rinse your mouth with filtered water and wait about 30 to 60 minutes before brushing.
