Child unwilling to brush. Should you negotiate? 🤔 “We sometimes assume that small children are as smart and conscious as us grown-ups. But long-term thinking, willpower and discipline are very hard-to-master skills at an early age. Some parents believe that they can explain to a 2-year-old the need for brushing and oral hygiene. So, they tend to wait for the child to give their consent. But since the child does not give it, and the parents don’t want to put pressure on the child, the teeth are left unbrushed. This is clearly not the way to establish a healthy routine. Before roughly age 3 we need these short-term tactics to establish routines and rituals: games, quests, stories and challenges.” 👉 Read more on: https://gently.curaden.com/how-to-get-your-children-to-brush-teeth/

Should parents finish brushing after their children? (Yes!) “I strongly support parents helping to brush their children’s teeth all the way until the children are eight years old. A small child won’t be able to properly brush and clean out all the germs at an early age – at least, it’s very challenging. I explain to them that at 4 years old their child is unable to follow all the steps to good cleaning. Here is what I do: I show both the parents and the child the places loaded with plaque. I make them understand that this can be avoided if they do it together, as a team. I present the brushing techniques to both parents and children so the small ones know and practise, but the parents should definitely finish it.” 👉 Read more on: https://gently.curaden.com/how-to-get-your-children-to-brush-teeth/

Children have whiter teeth than adults, but why? Because children’s enamel is thicker. As we grow older the enamel wears off, and more of the dentine (which has a brownish-yellow hue) shows through. Over the years, the enamel acquires tiny cracks, scratches and openings, which are all ideal surfaces for food stains. This is how the discolouration usually starts. It’s completely normal. Accumulated over the years, these tiny traces from foods can make up the darker tint that is characteristic of grown-up teeth. A safer way to whiten your teeth at home is by using a gentle whitening toothpaste, like Curaprox 'Be You': https://shop.curaprox.co.uk/ 🛒

Conventional toothbrushes are not enough. Braces make your teeth move, and where there is movement, there will be a change in your interdental spaces. Bacteria can now find ways into new spaces between your teeth and sit there, very well protected, inaccessible to both manual and electric toothbrushes. To clean out these spaces between your teeth, you’ll need interdental brushes like the CURAPROX CPS brushes: they are gentle, easy to use and safe for your teeth and gums. ✅ Use CPS Prime to clean between your teeth ✅ Use cone-shaped CPS 14 for ribbon retainers and inner wires ✅ Use CPS 18 for the areas under the outer wires
