Oral-B Addresses Children's Oral Health Needs at All Stages of Development During National Children's Dental He...(nts can choosea toothbrush designed to a...),Health

Date:2/12/2009

nts can choose a toothbrush designed to appeal to a toddler who is learning to brush and whose baby teeth are growing in, like Oral-B Stage 2. With a narrow brush head, simple bristle pattern and a Power Tip, the Oral-B Stage 2 brush effectively helps to reach all teeth.

-- Starting at the age of two, children should use fluoridated toothpaste, like Oral-B Stages Toothpaste, to help prevent decay as their teeth continue to develop.

    -- Supervise brushing until good habits are established.

Stage 3 (5-7 Years Old):

Parents with children between the ages of five and seven are often concerned about their child's learning and social development and do not realize that -- in addition to pain and infection -- untreated oral disease in children can lead to distraction from play and learning, as well as missed school days for dental visits(9).

What Parents Can Do:

-- Take an active role in children's oral health, focusing on day-to-day prevention in addition to providing access to a dentist who may recommend sealants, fluoride treatment and filling cavities once they've already developed.

-- Make sure your child uses fluoridated toothpaste and a toothbrush - like Oral-B Stage 3 - that is designed to brush the permanent molars that are beginning to grow in, yet is sensitive to the tender areas where baby teeth are lost. The Oral-B Stage 3 brush features cup-shaped bristles that surround each tooth and a Power Tip that easily reaches around and behind back teeth.

Stage 4: (8+ Years Old):

Untreated oral disease and poor oral hygiene can negatively impact a child's self-esteem during a crucial stage of emotional development. Everything from bad breath and plaque-covered teeth to discolored, damaged or missing teeth can result in embarrassment and a diminished self-image(10).
