Parents are encouraged to be role models for their children when it comes to taking care of their oral hygiene. Adults should supervise young kids to brush their teeth every day. After age 6 when the first permanent molars start to erupt, children can be encouraged to brush their teeth on their own. It is important that all the teeth surfaces are properly cleaned using a toothbrush. At Dr Tosun Dental Clinic we always spend ample time educating the young patients on correct tooth brushing and flossing techniques.
