Children upto the age of 8 need adult monitoring and guidance for Brushing.
Various YouTube animations videos available to teach the children Brushing.
First let the child do it and you do in front of him. For Children we suggest simple hand movements - round and round up and down, front and back, front and back..
When the child is done, it's the parents turn. You have to make sure that the brush cleans most of the tooth surfaces.
Ask the child to clean the tongue with a brush itself and you be a model and show him how.

Baby brushes are available. Please choose a soft tooth brush. Teach him to rinse after he eats. U can use the tooth brush to clean the tongue. Move the brush from the gums to the teeth edges for both Upper&lower teeth. Brush the back side of the teeth also.
