Toothbrushing twice-a-day was frequent in the studied population, however, the percentage of children who brushed at school was low, as well as the percentage of children who performed all the correct toothbrushing related procedures. Toothbrushing at school was more likely in private kindergartens. Performing correct toothbrushing related procedures was more frequent in children who had a previous oral health appointment and whose parents had a higher education level.
