Brush to the Beat

TOOTH TALES Toothbrushing is a fundamental part of a good oral hygiene regimen. Most kids think of brushing as a chore and like to rush through this step. However, proper brushing of all the surfaces in a round buffing motion takes at least 2 minutes and should be done at least 3 times a day to fight cavities. Want to make toothbrushing fun? Add music. The average length of a song on the radio is 3 minutes. Dividing the mouth into 4 quadrants and brushing each for 30 seconds is also helpful to keep the momentum.
