I have the same discussion with the two kids I partake care of, that is, starting at zero by suggesting teeth are brushed at all (yes) at least two times a day. I say, after breakfast is the most logical time to me but if I have to leave the house before or without breakfast, I´d always do it as part of normal morning routine before leaving home. In Sweden where I grew up, tooth and other personal hygiene is (or at least was, when I was small) normally good, taught and supported at school with regular flour givings in class, information etc. so I still have medically perfect teeth at my age (also due to the homemade nourishment of my mum but that was unusual in 1960s Sweden) and like to brush my teeth after each meal, if possible. I often have a small portable brush in my bag, because it´s so pleasant to have clean teeth, it can easily be done anywhere. I try and advocate this toward the kids...
