I often get asked when a child should start brushing their own teeth. This really depends on the child’s motor skills and dexterity. There’s no perfect age for the child to take on this responsibility on their own. Some kids this can be at age 5, and some kids it can be at age 12. The main point is to supervise when they are brushing if they want to do it on their own so that the parents can go in to finish and “touch up” to get all the surfaces 🦷 When did you have your child start brushing their own teeth?
