age to brush teeth

It's never too early when it comes to oral hygiene. When children are too young to brush their teeth, you will help them clean their teeth and mouth area for them. But as soon as your child is old enough to follow instructions and have a handle on his or her motor skills and coordination, he or she should be ready to brush his or her teeth alone or with little supervision. I reckon 3-4 would be a good age to let your child brush his or her teeth independently.
