When should a child start brushing his own teeth?
Hello, your question is a commonly asked one and we use this simple rule to decide when to allow solo brushing... when a child is able to properly tie their own shoe lace, it is time for some independent brushing, since the dexterity need to tie a shoe lace is the same needed to manipulate the toothbrush in the molar regions.
