The Brushing Problem Parents Face

It's harder than it should be — and you're not alone.

Our recent survey of 100 parents in revealed:

1 in 3 children don't brush for a full 2 minutes
28% of children don't brush twice a day
21% of parents never supervise brushing at all
Nearly half of parents say their child doesn't brush for long enough
1 in 5 parents say their child simply refuses to brush
And while 72% of parents think their child knows how to brush…over 40% admit they're not sure if they're doing it properly

The Bigger Picture
