Keeping your child’s smile healthy starts with the right brushing habits at home. At Dr. Thakur's Pediatric and Family Dental Care in Borivali West, Mumbai, our pediatric dentist team makes brushing simple, fun, and effective for every age.

Here are expert-backed tips from a trusted children’s dentist in your neighbourhood to support what we do in the clinic and keep cavities away between visits.

• ️ Use a soft, child-sized brush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste once your child learns to spit
• ️ Teach gentle circular motions on all tooth surfaces, including the back teeth where food gets stuck most
• ️ Help your child brush for a full two minutes, twice a day, until at least age 8 for thorough cleaning
• ️ Turn brushing into a game with songs, timers, or rewards so kids enjoy the routine instead of rushing
• ️ Visit our kids-focused dental clinic regularly so we can guide you on age-appropriate care, braces needs, and safe tooth extraction for kids when required
• ️ Calm, friendly care from an experienced pediatric dentist helps anxious little ones feel relaxed in the chair
