How to Brush Your Teeth

Hi, everyone.

This presentation is how to brush your teeth and it

ISS for 2 to 5 year olds or toddlers.

So our objectives are that the child would demonstrate proper

brushing technique.

The child will state three foods that can cause cavities,

and the parent will list three tips to successful teeth

brushing with their toddler.

Okay, so why is it important?

And brushing your teeth is important because it removes all

the bits of food between your teeth that are left

after chewing your food.

Um, eso brushing your teeth removes plaque and plaque is

the sticky gunk that can build up on your teeth

in between your teeth.

And it's a mixture of bacteria and sugars, so we

don't want that.

We want to brush it in, prevent it.

So one of the main reasons to that you want

to brush your teeth is so you have fresh breath

and white teeth.

Sure, and in the picture, in the top right corner

is a bacteria, so we don't want that on your

teeth. So some of the foods that are really sugary

our candy, doughnuts, soda and basically any type of junk

food, so you want to make sure to especially brush

your teeth after eating these foods because they're very sugary

and can cause the plaque on your teeth from before.

So up next is the steps.

So the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna

put the toothpaste on your toothbrush.

Um, and you want the size of the toothpaste to

be about the size of a pea, and then you're

going to brush your teeth for two minutes, and you

can either listen to your favorite song or set a

timer. Have your mom's at a timer.

You're going to brush your top teeth in a circular

motion, right, and you're going to make sure you want

to get the inside of your teeth in the back

side of your teeth.

So both sides front and back, and then you're going

to do the same on the bottom.

Row on, and then you're also gonna want to brush

your tongue and your cheeks to make sure you get

all the germs.

Now, since your parent is probably with you at the

health fair parents these air some tips for you.

So you're going to want to make sure start brushing

at an early age just to get them into the

habit. And so whenever they get into the habit, there'll

be less of a fight later on.

Um, you're also going to brush with your child and

set an alarm for two minutes, so this tip kind

of makes it fun for them.

It's a bonding experience.

Um, and then the next one is you're gonna let

them pick out their toothbrush and toothpaste again.

This is just going to make the experience more fun

for them and give them a choice and what they're

doing, because to them it might be a chore.

So if they can pick out their favorite color or

a character on their toothbrush, it'll make them more likely

to want to do it and less of a fight

for you.

Um, and the last tip is to find a good

dentist and go for checkups.

Um, prevention.

When it comes to tooth, brushing is the best.

So the younger you start brushing your teeth, and if

you go to dentist for checkups, you'll be able to

catch any type of cavity.

Um, catch it really early and just make sure that

they can get it taken care of if there is

an issue.

Yeah. And also to another.

Um, tip is the, um, like the automatic toothbrushes that

vibrate. Children love those.

So you can also choose toe app.

For those, they are a little bit more expensive, but

they might be worth it if your child will be

more likely to brush their teeth by using one.

All right.

And that is it.

Thank you for listening.

Um, if you have any questions, um, please don't hesitate

to ask them.

And like I said, everyone just brush your teeth, prevent

the cavities in, Have a good day.
