Dear friends,
I believe brushing teeth at night is more important than brushing at morning. I do have the habit of brushing my teeth after the dinner on regular basis. But I am really tired up with children; they can do only on my instructions.
Why feeling so hard to do yourself after dinner since you know I won’t let you sleep without brushing the teeth.
Do you brush your teeth after dinner?

@Sreekala Yes,I do brush my teeth before leaving for bed,and it takes me 20 minutes to finish the task.Children begin feeling tired and sleepy by night and are in a hurry to jump into bed and fall asleep.They hate "wasting" even a single second in such "useless" and "time consuming" things.LOL!!

Yup, it is SOP before going to bed. I mean it's hard, considering that your body is in a state of shutting down. But brushing is a necessity, as it will save you the toothache.

@Shavkat haha but I don't do that. He has a habit, whenever he feel sleep he asks me to hug him, yesterday he was in bed and I asked whether you brushed, he nodded, saying 'no', he was very sleepy but on hearing the refusal of hugging he get up and done the brushing. Very sad if I think that now, but what can I do

You are so right about brushing teeth before bedtime! I used to skip it when I was a youngster and wound up with a mouthful of cavities to show for it
I learned my lesson, I am fanatical about caring for my teeth now

@Sreekala Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. A quote from Oscar Wilde-Source: Brainy quotes. Unfortunately, mistakes sometimes become our best teacher

I floss and rinse after each meal, but have to admit, I don't brush after each meal.

@Sreekala So true. I guess that as often as possible is rule of thumb!
