Brushing teeth – one of the really big issues in everyday family life. At times, many children don’t like brushing their teeth at all, so everyday dental hygiene at home can become a real challenge. Of course, we parents know how important dental care is. We know that inadequate dental hygiene causes caries in the long term and thus also pain.
