FREE Printable Teeth Brushing Chart for Kids

Your teeth are very important to your daily life and, unlike sharks, you won’t keep growing more and more teeth if yours come out! Babies’ teeth begin to develop before they are born, but in most cases don’t come through until they’re between 6 and 12 months old. At this point, you should begin brushing their teeth with a soft baby tooth brush to help kids get use to the sensation and protect those pearly whites. Most children have a full set of 20 baby teeth by the time they’re 3 years old. By Kindergarten, these first teeth will start to fall out, making way for larger adult teeth.
Teeth are very important in our everyday life. We use our teeth for cutting and chewing our food – they begin the digestive process. Teeth are also used to help with our speech. Each tooth is made up of four different types of tissue: pulp, dentin, enamel, and cementum. The pulp is the innermost portion of the tooth and consists of connective tissue , nerves, and blood vessels, which nourish the tooth. It is important to keep the tooth clean and free of build-up to keep teeth strong.
These super cute, and free printable teeth brushing charts are a handy tool to help kids remember to brush their teeth every day! It is so very important to teach children to take good care of their teeth so they don’t get cavities, begin to rot, decay, or fall out!

Young children can color the super cute clipart of the sun (for am brushing), moon (for brushing teeth before bed), toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss with crayons, markers, or colored pencils to personalize their free charts for kids.
You can tape the reminder on a bathroom mirror or lay it on the bathroom vanity. After toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and grade 1 students finish brushing, they can mark a tooth in the am or pm column with a check, x or color in the tooth.

Remember you can make it extra fun by letting them pick out their own colored toothbrush at the store. Don’t forget to replace it every 6 months or after they have been sick to keep it sanitary. They can even pick their own flavor of toothpaste!
Another fun idea is after they’ve finished a week of taking care of their teeth you can give them a sticker, small prize from a prize box, or a coupon for staying up late. This is a fun way to motivate kids.
