Toothbrushing ability is related to age in children

J H Unkel et al. ASDC J Dent Child. 1995 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Methods to assess toothbrushing ability vary. The purpose of this study was to determine whether age could be a predictor for toothbrushing ability in children. This study evaluated the brushing patterns of 122 children utilizing the horizontal scrub technique. The results obtained suggest that a child's age is a reasonable predictor for toothbrushing ability.
