Kids should brush twice daily for two minutes using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste (a tiny rice-grain size for under age 3).

Parents should supervise brushing and assist with daily flossing until the child develops the manual dexterity to clean thoroughly on their own around age 7–8.
