Get Brushing!
At about age 6 or 7, children can begin brushing while a parent supervises, says Paul Casamassimo, D.D.S., professor of pediatric dentistry at Children's Hospital of Columbus in Ohio. By age 11, most children will be able to go solo. "It varies depending on the child, but by then kids generally have the skill and spatial understanding of what they're doing with the bristles," he says.
