Most Parents Supervise Child's Brushing
June 28, 2001
A recent survey found that fifty percent of parents monitor their child's daily dental hygiene habits. Forty-five percent of the respondents use reward systems including threats of taking away the child's television privileges for not brushing. Sadly, five percent do not monitor their child's daily dental care.
Experts say that adult supervision of dental care is vital to the child's development of an effective brushing technique. Additionally, supervision may be required to keep young children from swallowing toothpaste.
