Brushing kids teeth?

When did you stop helping your kid’s brush their teeth?

How did you get them to brush for 2 full minutes?

get a timer (do you brush for a full 2 minutes???) -time the 2 of you together. use an anti plaque rinse, provide a fresh toothbrush every couple of months, toothpaste, & floss. see the dentist every 6 months and keep soda out of the diet.

I stopped doing it for them when they started school.
I also brought them an electric toothbrush to make it more fun for them!

My son is 5 and I let him brush first and then I go over them.

My kids brushed at four by themselves, but I noticed they stopped doing so well at 5 and 7!

Now I go over them after they brush in the morning and I let them do it all at night – with a good inspection.
