AnswerBank Answer:

What kind of toothbrush should children use?

A child's toothbrush should be scaled down to child size, since their hands and jaws are much smaller than an adult's. The handle of a child's toothbrush should be easy to grip and shaped to be easy to hold. The brush head should be small and rounded with soft bristles. Children can use a powered toothbrush once they are able to brush their teeth on their own.
