Happy Healthy Tooth Brushing Activity
Tooth brushing should be done morning and night for 2 minutes with a soft bristled toothbrush.
Once all your child’s baby teeth have come through, a small amount of a childrens’ fluoridated toothpaste should be used.
To correctly brush your teeth, use small strokes in a circular motion, paying extra attention to the gum-line of all teeth and hard-to-reach back teeth.
Follow these instructions to ensure all surfaces of each tooth is cleaned properly:
- Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
- Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
- Clean the chewing surfaces
- For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too
This tooth brushing activity is a fun and useful way to help your child understand the importance of brushing.
Instructions
- Print out the page and laminate.
- Draw on some tooth germs using a whiteboard marker.
- BRUSH TIME! Using a clean toothbrush, brush in gentle circles to remove all the tooth germs and reveal a happy and healthy smile.
