Dental Hygiene and schooling is very very important and most people tend to ignore this. Teaching children the nuances of proper hygiene will hold them in good stead over a long period. You must also ensure that you tech them the proper procedure of brushing and cleaning their teeth. Children are often in a hurry and they do not brush properly. This can lead to teeth decay and cavities in the long run. Parents have the responsibility to ensure that children brush for a minimum of five at least two times a day of not more. Ideally one must brush after every meal.
