Use the proper tools for them!

Parents should ensure that young children use an appropriate size toothbrush with a small brushing surface and only a “smear” of fluoride toothpaste at each brushing. Young children should always be supervised while brushing and taught to spit out rather than swallow toothpaste. Unless advised to do so by a dentist or other health professional, parents should not use fluoride toothpaste for children less than two years of age.
