' Since children are prone to tooth decay, they should clean their teeth after each meal and every night before going to bed. To most dentists recommend using a toothbrush that has a straight handle, a flat brush ing surface and Soft, end rounded bristles. The tooth brush should be small enough for children to provide easy access to every tooth. The toothbrushing method recom mended for children by the ’ American Dental Association for plaque removal involves a gental back and forth scrub bing motion with short strokes. With the bristles tips held at a 45 degree angle against the gum line, the brush cleans the teeth and gums at the same time. Chewing surfaces are also brushed with short scrubbing strokes. Your family dentist,' however, may recommend another method which he feels best suits the needs of your child. Disclosing tablets or solu tion-which may be obtained at most drugstores-can be used after cleaning to check the effectiveness of the child’s brushing methods. With the help of instruc tion, supervision, and regular dental care, your child can be free from dental disease. ■' ■ ■ ■ i- i— i.
