How often should I brush my teeth?

Brush at least twice a day. You should brush for two minutes each time. That's 120 seconds. Some kids use a kitchen timer or a bathroom clock to time how long they've brushed. Or, you could count to yourself: 1 MISSISSIPPI, 2 MISSISSIPPI, 3 MISSISSIPPI until you reach 120.
