What age did you start introducing your child for a tooth care? We started using the gum cleanser when our children was 2-3 months old just so they would get use to it. Now some kids does not want to brush their teeth for a lot of reason. Some are scared because the tooth brush aren't soft, they are afraid that they might get hurt. If this is the case try to add a lil' fun, buy them battery operated toothbrush. My kids loves it when their toothbrush are spinning inside their mouth hehehe...
As a kid, brushing your teeth may have seemed like a hassle, but as an adult, you should be aware of how important healthy teeth and gums really are. First of all, many of the foods that help your body build strong muscles and bones also build strong teeth and healthy gums. Dairy products, breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables, and lean meats all contribute to healthy teeth and a healthy body. In addition, good oral health may help you manage the following conditions—or better yet, prevent them altogether.
