Most of the families are themselves not in a habit to brush twice a day and the children also pick up the same habit. However, research has shown that people brushing their teeth twice a day experienced fewer dental problems as compared to individuals brushing their teeth once a day.
Another point in consideration is the technique of brushing. Due to laziness or in a hurried brushing activity, your kids may not be giving the right cleaning to their teeth. Proper ten to fifteen minute of brushing your teeth is essential for it to be clean. There are a lot of videos on the internet that actually demonstrate the right way to brush. One can also consult the dentist to know correct methods of brushing. Regular dental checkups are a must for your little one especially during the period when they get their permanent teeth.

Also teens with braces need to be careful because it is common that food is caught in the braces and stays close which can cause damage to the teeth. Hence braces should be regularly cleaned along with the teeth.
