Children can brush their teeth by themselves without the help of adults?
Generally, the child should clean the oral cavity after the child’s first tooth emerges; after the age of one, start brushing the child with a toothbrush; after the age of three, start using toothpaste.

Parents should assist their children in cleaning their teeth during infancy and even during the entire preschool period.
