Create a fun atmosphere.
"Tooth brushing fun~" "I feel good~"
Upper lip band
Beware of the upper lip band (like a string that connects the back of the upper lip and the gums)
If you hit the tip of the toothbrush during brushing, it may cause you to dislike brushing.
The number of teeth has also increased. It's time to eat three meals.
Do you have any sweets?
Let's polish it once a day before you get sleepy at night.
If you like to have a toothbrush yourself, let's have it if you like it.
It's awkward, so be sure to take a look.
Let's take a closer look at the color of the teeth.
Finish polishing posture
You can easily see the inside of your mouth and make it easy to finish.
Let's try various ways to see which posture will make you look.

Sitting on a chair
Hug

A good example

Did you gargle well?
Can I get the water out of my mouth? Can I put air on my cheeks and move it quickly?)
Have you been able to move your toothbrush sideways well when brushing yourself?
Let's speak to your mother and try it together.
The number of children who can do not hate finishing brushing is increasing.

Use of thread yoji and dental floss
Use it if there is no gap between the teeth of the back teeth and the front teeth.
Let's have a family dentist
Let's start a regular medical checkup.
Check the caries and teeth alignment.

It's time for adults to grow their teeth. Let's look at your mouth carefully.

Don't forget to finish brushing even if you have permanent teeth!
