How do I get my child into the habit of brushing his teeth regularly?

The best way to teach your child to brush their teeth is by starting them young and using positive reinforcement. Start by having your child practice brushing with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste when they are young, like around age two or three. Make sure you show them how it's done, so they understand why they should be doing it. Then reward them for successful brushing sessions and gradually increase the time spent brushing each day until they are comfortable with the process. Finally, make sure to remind your child about regular brushing as they get older.
