How often should we be brushing?

The answer is 2 times a day morning and night time!

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association both recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day - once in the morning and once at night. Regular brushing is essential to remove plaque and food particles that can accumulate on your teeth, which, if left unchecked, may lead to cavities, bad breath, and even gum disease. By sticking to this routine, you’re protecting not only your smile but also your overall health.

Establishing good oral hygiene habits early on is important for children, but it can sometimes be difficult to get them excited about brushing. Need a little extra motivation to help jumpstart these healthy routines? We’ve got you covered! To make brushing more fun and consistent, we’ve created a simple, printable, at-home toothbrushing chart. This chart helps parents and their little ones track their brushing progress, making it easier to form a solid routine of brushing both morning and night. Each day, you can check off the boxes as a visual reminder of the effort put into maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

Start today by using the chart to build a lifelong habit of great oral care for your child, and ensure a brighter, healthier smile for years to come.
