How many times a day should a child brush their teeth?
user
A lot of things depend on the age and health of the child, but it’s a good idea to start from a young age with a lot of brushing.

What do you mean a lot?
user
Enough that they brush their teeth for at least 3-5 minutes.  The longer you can get a child to brush their teeth, the better.
assistant
And how many times a day should we do this?
user
We would typically recommend that you do this daily, but not before bedtime, since there’s something about the nightly acid in the mouth that’s detrimental to the teeth.
assistant
Wait, I shouldn't brush before bedtime?
