Choose And Replace Toothbrush
For children, choose a toothbrush with a small size easy to handle which is grasped. Fur brush is fine but strong. The end of the brush head for easy reach narrows the inside. For infants, there is a choice of rubber toothbrush, hair, or a toothbrush to be worn on the index finger father / mother. If a tooth has been out more than 8, clean with a baby toothbrush that has a small tip and fluffy, with a code size of P20, or a hairy rubber.
Furthermore, children 1-5 years can use a brush with 3 fur series. At the age of 6 years and over (the period of mixed dentition teeth), in addition to brush with 3 fur series can also be used brush with 4 rows of feathers.
If using a hard bristle brush, the gums will experience abrasion. Gum tissue will be damaged so that the roots of the teeth will be open. Tooth root that is not coated with this email will ache when eating food. Replace your toothbrush when fur had bloomed or irregular so as not to injure your gums.

But should, choose pasta with fluoride content of at least. When about to brush your teeth, apply a little toothpaste, which is nothing more than the size of a pea.
