    We aim for twice, but I'd be lying if I said we don't skip the morning once in a while.  I rarely forget at night.

    I aim for twice. We brush together in the morning, then again right before bed. He's finally started enjoying brushing his teeth, so that makes it easier.

    I brush LOs teeth twice a day. My older daughter brushes her teeth herself and does it three times a day. She was doing it twice a day but after I stopped supervising her every time, I noticed she was not doing it as well as she should be so now it is three times a day. Teeth issues run in my family so I am a stickler about it.

    Twice

    ETA - I do sometimes forget on weekend mornings.  We have a usual routine on weekdays, so I rarely forget then.

    Twice with me supervising but she goes in to the bathroom multiple times a day and does it on her own. She loves brushing her teeth!

    We brush DS's teeth 3 times per day - after each meal. We floss his teeth after the 3rd brushing.

    At least once a day, but we aim for twice.  Sometimes I forget in the morning, but always remember at night.

    yeah- I do it 3x a day- but both of my kids love brushing their teeth.

    I do it after breakfast- before nap/after lunch and before bed.

    Chase would walk around with his toothbrush all day if I let him.

    My kids are strange- they have ALWAYS loved brushing their teeth.

    I brush mine 3x too- but its a weird thing with me- i have to brush my teeth after eating- Even when i worked.

    Three.  After breakfast, before nap, and before bed.  I'm strict about it b/c I had a lot of cavities as a kid.

    Just bedtime, but I think we will be adding morning too. My little guy is pretty good about it, so I don not think it will be too tough to get him to do it twice.

    This.  It's my least favorite part of the day.

     I shoot for 2x. Once before morning nap and once before bed. We only skip it if we're not home (not like if we're on vaca, but if he falls asleep in the car, for example.)

    Once a day.  DD really hates it & I hate doing it too because it's always a battle.  We just had her 6 month check up & the dentist said her teeth look great!  She only drinks milk & water & rarely has sweets.  She also had a sippy of water in her crib at night.  He said this helps a ton.

    She just got 2 teeth in the last month. Pedi said to brush them 2x/day--mostly to get her used to it so it is not so hard when she's older.  I forgot this morning, but in the last week have been good about doing it 2x/day.

    Twice unless we're in a rush and don't have time in the morning.
