Children should brush at least twice a day, and fl oss daily. Many children skip brush- ing in the morning due to the rush of getting out the door. Be sure to not let this happen, even if you need to monitor their brushing rou- tine. Set a scheduled time in the morning and evening to brush and fl oss and stick to the schedule. This will help set healthy dental hab-
