Is Your Child Brushing Properly? Signs Parents Commonly Miss

Brushing is one of the earliest habits children learn — but many don’t learn it correctly. Parents often assume daily brushing equals good oral health. That assumption leads to cavities.

Common Signs of Improper Brushing

• Spending less than two minutes brushing

• Bleeding gums during or after brushing

• Bad breath that persists despite brushing

These signs usually indicate plaque buildup or early gum inflammation.

Why Early Correction Matters

1. Improper brushing in childhood can lead to:

2. Tooth decay

3. Gum problems

4. Painful dental treatments later

Correcting technique early builds lifelong oral health.

What Parents Can Do

• Supervise brushing until age 7–8

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush

• Ensure 2-minute brushing twice daily

• Schedule regular dental check-ups
