Children should brush their teeth twice a day with a small, soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

Brush in the morning and at night, just before bedtime. The fluoride in the toothpaste will stay on your child’s teeth during the night and help make them stronger.

Use a “dot” of toothpaste, the size of a pea, on the toothbrush.

From 6 years of age, you can swap children’s low fluoride toothpaste for any adult fluoride toothpaste.

You should help your child to brush their teeth until they are 8 years old.

After brushing "spit, don’t rinse"

Don’t let children share their toothbrushes.
