Oral Care Milestones for Children

About their teeth:

Age 0 - 2 Children have front primary teeth and are developing molars.
Teeth start to erupt at about six months and continue until age three. Once teething begins, it will continue until all 20 baby teeth have come through.

Age 2 - 5 Children have front primary teeth and are developing molars.
At 4, children are able to brush with supervision.

Age 5+ Children have a mix of primary and permanent teeth. Fine motor skills are improving, and children are learning proper brushing technique.
