Helping Children Build Calm Oral-Care Habits
Children often respond better to a predictable routine than to pressure. Keep steps short and supervision clear.
Practical checklist
- Use the age guidance printed on the approved pack.
- Keep products out of reach when supervision is required.
- Use a timer, song or visual checklist.
- Ask a dentist about repeated discomfort or bleeding.
Final quantity, frequency and supervision guidance must come from the approved pack and dental professional.
