Can a 2-year-old child brush their teeth?

Patient's question:

Can a two-year-old and two-month-old child brush their teeth? If so, how many times a day is best?

Doctor's answer:

Babies can start learning to brush their teeth after the age of two. Parents can buy toothbrushes and cups specifically designed for children for their babies. When parents brush their teeth, they can let the child imitate them while brushing, and parents should be very patient in teaching the child the correct brushing method. At the same time, it is important to cultivate the child's interest in brushing their teeth. From the age of two to three, which is about a year of practice, the baby can basically learn to brush their teeth. After the baby turns three, they can brush their teeth independently.
