As Hawaii’s leading pediatric dentists, Pedodontic Associates cares for hundreds of children throughout the region. Known for offering expert oral health care in an inviting, friendly atmosphere, they have become the state’s leading source for dental care for children. 

When patients and their parents visit one of their three convenient dental practice locations, the pediatric dentists at Pedodontic Associates often remind parents of at-home oral health care practices. As always, it’s incredibly important for parents to make sure their kids are brushing with clean toothbrushes!

Brushing with a bacteria-filled toothbrush does not do you, your children, or your health any good. In order to ensure your child’s toothbrush is clean, make sure you establish the good habit of thoroughly rinsing their brush in water after every use. There are also various toothbrush sanitizers on the market. 

And as always, find the perfect place to store your toothbrush after each use. Make sure your toothbrush is stored upright in a place with airflow, so it can properly dry and avoid growing mold. Most importantly, replace your toothbrush every three to four months, and do not share your brush with anyone else! If your child has recently recovered from a bad cold or flu, toss their toothbrush and replace it with a fresh one.
