Get your child to brush his pearly whites by giving him a toothbrush that he will absolutely adore: a "fun" toothbrush with brilliant colors and wacky shapes. But fun isn't the only requirement; here are other brush essentials to keep in mind:
- Choose a toothbrush that's small enough for your child to hold comfortably. A long one may strain his arm while brushing.
- Look for small, rounded head. A big headed brush may not reach the tight areas of his small mouth.
- Change toothbrush every three months. By then, the bristles are worn out, less effective, and may also harbor harmful bacteria.
