How to Brush Your Child's Teeth as Explained by a Dentist

Dr. Ashly Okoli, a dentist and pediatric dentistry resident, talks about the importance of brushing your child's teeth - morning and night. If you've been wondering when to start brushing baby teeth or when is the right time for your child's first toothbrush, Dr. Okoli has the answers. In the five-minute video, she shows the tools to brush your child's teeth: FOREO ISSA™ baby infant toothbrush and FOREO ISSA™ kids toddler toothbrush and the proper toothbrushing technique.

Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, before they do, they serve many important functions, such as keeping the space open for the adult teeth, forming the structures of a child's mouth, and helping with chewing, eating, and speech. Tooth decay affects around 520 million children worldwide, which is why oral hygiene is important from a young age. 

Dentists worldwide recommend electric toothbrushes for kids to establish good brushing habits. At the same time, parents say it's easier to get kids to brush better and for longer with electric toothbrushes due to ease of use, entertaining features, and built-in timers. 

ISSA™ kids has a unique hybrid brush head that is tough on plaque yet gentle on gums and tooth enamel. It's clinically proven to improve oral hygiene by up to 140%. Its wide grip handle makes it easy for small hands to grab onto, and its soft yet durable bristles and gentle sonic pulsations clean the teeth perfectly. 

When it comes to babies, pediatric dentists recommend cleaning babies' gums after feedings, which helps fight bacterial growth and keep good oral health.
