S-milestone: Supervise brushing until at least age 8!
🪥 Think your child’s brushing on their own is enough? Think again.
🪥 Most kids don’t have the coordination to brush properly until they’re around 8 years old — even if they’re super independent in other ways!
🦷 Here’s what healthy brushing looks like:
✅ Twice a day, for 2 minutes
✅ Pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste (from 18 months+)
✅ Brushing all sides — not just the front
✅ Spit, don’t rinse — so fluoride can keep working
💡Tip: Turn it into a team activity. Brush together. Sing songs. Set a 2-minute timer & make it fun!
✨ These early years are when habits are built — and smiles are protected for life.
