Bright Smiles for the Whole Family!
★
As a parent, you can help your children protect their teeth and gums by
making sure they brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste,
especially after eating breakfast and before bedtime. Brush along with them ★
to make it a fun family event! And remind them to floss daily, too.
★
How to Brush
1. Place brush at
angle along outer
gumline. Wiggle
gently back and
forth. Repeat for
each tooth.
2. Brush inside
surface of each tooth,
using wiggling
technique in Step 1.
3. Brush chewing
surface of each
tooth.
5. Don’t forget to
brush your tongue!
How to Floss
2. Hold the floss
tightly against each
tooth. Move the floss
away from the gum,
gently rubbing the
floss up and down
against the side of the
tooth.
1. Pull 18” to 24” (45
to 60 cm) of
dental floss from the
dispenser and wrap
the ends around your
middle fingers.
★
4. Use tip of brush
to brush behind each
front tooth, both top
and bottom.
