Brushing Technique
Nursery and primary section children should be taught correct technique of brushing,
mouth rinsing and gum massaging through live demonstration, role-playing and active
participation. Not only children enjoy such methods of active learning but also
the practices learnt at tender age would inculcate sound oral hygiene practices
in them for rest of their lives. It would go a long way in reducing caries prevalence
in children and adolescents.
