Children’s oral health is a very important thing. Children’s teeth have large gaps, and if they are not cleaned properly, it can easily cause dental caries in children. Generally, you can start brushing your teeth when all 20 deciduous teeth have emerged. Children in kindergarten can already start to develop good brushing habits. So how can we help children master the correct method of brushing their teeth?
First of all, teachers should understand the essentials of brushing children's teeth: when the mouth is closed, that is, when the upper and lower teeth are biting together, put the toothbrush into the vestibule of the oral cavity, and use the bristles to lightly contact the gum area of ??the last molar of the upper jaw. Use the brush faster and wider. In an arc motion, small pressure is dragged from the maxillary gums to the mandibular gums. The incisal edges of the anterior teeth contact the incisal edges and vibrate in a continuous arc. The lingual and palatal surfaces need to vibrate back and forth from the maxillary dental arch to the mandibular dental arch. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and it is more important to brush your teeth before going to bed at night. You should brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes each time and be thorough. How to teach children such an abstract method? Children cannot understand things that are too written, so we can only find methods that are suitable for children's age, easy to understand, and easy to operate.
Children's songs are short poems targeted at young children. They are short and easy to remember. I extracted the two main points of brushing your teeth: brushing up and down, brushing in the morning and evening, and compiled it into a children's song. I hold a small toothbrush in my hand, open my small mouth, brush the upper teeth downward, brush the lower teeth upward, brush left, right, inside and outside. I brushed in the morning and at night, and my teeth were all white.
On the basis of learning children's songs, children should practice more with a toothbrush in front of the mirror, and cooperate with the teacher's guidance, coupled with the supervision and supervision of parents at home, to help children learn the correct method of brushing their teeth and develop the habit of brushing their teeth. good habit.
