Quick reminders and tips to help care for your four-year-old’s health and well-being!
Once your little one turns three, it's time to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to brush his teeth.
Make sure your child spits out the toothpaste after brushing, instead of swallowing it.
Milk teeth do not fall out all at once - the first ones will fall out when your child is about six or seven, and the last ones will fall out around ages 10 to 12.
Protect your child's pearly whites. Bring him for a dental check-up once a every six months or as advised by the dentist.
Encourage your child to take 20 seconds break after 20 minutes of near-work activities.
