Healthy habits make you feel good

From the first adult tooth and throughout life, your mouth matters. Establishing good habits early is the key to healthy teeth for life. Even though other things seem more important and fun, like sports, gaming, dancing and hanging with your friends, show some extra love for your teeth. Get the confidence to smile by keeping your teeth healthy!

 

A friendly tip to the parents. As adults, it's important to keep setting a good example of oral care - your kids will notice! Try to make the toothbrushing routine and that part of the day fun and engaging. 

Easy brushing routine for kids

It’s not hard to keep your teeth healthy, just brush twice a day – you’ve got this! Think it’s boring to brush your teeth in the bathroom? Brush in bed, by the TV or anywhere – what matters is that you really brush your teeth! Here are our best tips for toothbrushing routine.

  • Brush twice a day will keep the plaque monsters away
  • Use your favourite toothbrush, we have a few cool ones
  • Use a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste
  • Brush gently with small movements, slowly moving forward
  • Remember to brush the gum line – this is where the plaque monsters love to hide.
  • Most importantly, create a habit! Brush the inside, outside and biting surfaces in the same order to make sure to brush every side of the tooth.

Losing your milk teeth

At 5-7 years old, children start to lose their milk teeth, and keep losing them until they are around 10-12 years old. As milk teeth go, they are replaced by new teeth and wiggly teeth that will eventually fall out. During this transition the mouth can feel a bit sore. Want to learn more about milk teeth?

First adult teeth

When kids get their first front adult teeth, around the age of 5-7, they’ll also get their first molars – the larger teeth at the back. Don’t forget to brush these molars! It’s easy to miss molars coming in and forget to brush them, which is part of the reason they are most affected by caries. Our advice? Keep an eye out for the larger teeth in the back and give them some extra love and care!

The right toothbrush for kids

Level up your brushing game with our colourful toothbrushes. Choose between soft or extra soft bristles and different cool prints. The small brush heads make it easy to get rid of the plaque monsters. With these toothbrushes, the whole toothbrush experience will be more efficient and fun! By the way, put some of our toothpaste on the brushes for even gentler brushing routine.

Check your brushing game

A fun way to check if you are leveling up your brushing game is to use our TePe PlaqSearch. A chewable tablet that dyes the bacteria on your teeth, revealing plaque that is still on your teeth. Cool huh? Use the tablets after brushing, so you could see if you really made your teeth sparkle!
