What age did you learn to brush your teeth?

Post Reply New Topic

Continuing with the topics like this, i'm wondering what age you actually learnt. With me it was 4 which i think was WAY to early as i have dyspraxia and my teeth have suffered because of it

I don't remember how old I was. I was most likely a toddler, so maybe about two.

I was eight when I was doing it on my own but my mother had to do it after I was done because I didn't do a good job but it was only a few times. She had to tell me it takes a while to brush your teeth so I took it literal and spend minutes brushing them. It was about a couple years later when I finally figured out it's supposed to take you a minute to do it because I saw my mother brush hers and she didn't take very long and I saw other kids doing it and it didn't take them long either. I remember my mother telling me when I was 10 I was being crazy because I was taking five to ten minutes brushing my teeth.

When I was 8

When I was 2. I loved brushing my teeth. I used to brush them, four times a day, when I was little.

4. Not something that caused me any problems.

2 is very young, even for an NT

I dunno... I learned that very early... probably when I was 2-3. But I'm very impatient and only spend about 20 seconds brushing my teeth each time... I've developped germs due to that, but no rotten teeth.

Same.
