How to use these pages
Color one step, then talk about where it belongs in the child’s morning or evening. A brushing chart can make the sequence easier to remember.
Keep a printed chart near the bathroom, away from splashes. Use a fresh copy or a clear sleeve for repeated marking.
The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day for two minutes. A child can color a brushing chart after each session. Ask your dentist for advice specific to your child.
