Explanation的部分打错了一个字，“口渴”是“口腔”之误。初来乍到，还不知道怎样编辑回答，就在这里说明了。

谢谢大家尤其是jyuan_us分享的见解。如果把“口腔护理知识”改成“刷牙基本功”，又如何？

brush up on basic oral care EXPLAIN

Explanation:
教你的小宝宝刷牙

这种MARKETING/PROMOTIONAL的文件, 有时不能直译, 直译的结果或者是译文的意思过份了, 或者是意思不充分.

其实所谓 basic oral care就是指刷牙, 对于一个刚学刷牙的小孩来说,译为口腔护理显然有点过份.

口腔护理的“the basics”就是挤牙膏到牙刷上,放入嘴里,上下刷,刷的次数,刷完漱口等,就是刷牙动作的分解.把这叫作"基础知识",用词有点过, 殊不知原文作者也把这个词加了引号, 因为它知道这个词有点大,只是为了效果才这样说.
原文照直译,未必能引起预期效果,除非也加引号.
