Children need help brushing their teeth until about age 7 or 8. Make it fun by singing their favorite 2-minute song while brushing. 🪥🎶

🦷 Another Toothy Tip: Let your child brush first and then you finish to make sure every tooth is clean.

While daily brushing can help keep the sugar bugs away, it doesn’t guarantee a cavity-free smile. Make sure your child visits the dentist regularly to make sure their oral health is in top shape.

🔎 Find a dentist, and read the “Jasmín Goes to the Dentist” book at SmileCalifornia.org.



Los niños necesitan ayuda para cepillarse los dientes hasta aproximadamente los 7 u 8 años. Hágalo divertido cantando su canción favorita de 2 minutos mientras se cepillan. 🪥🎶

🦷 Otro consejo dental: Deje que el niño se cepille primero y luego termine usted, para asegurarse de que todos los dientes queden limpios.

Aunque el cepillado diario ayuda a mantener alejados a los “bichos del azúcar”, no garantiza una sonrisa sin caries. Asegúrese de que los niños visiten al dentista con regularidad para mantener su salud bucal en óptimas condiciones.

🔎 Encuentre un dentista y lean “Jasmín va al dentista” en SonrieCalifornia.org.
