It depends on the amount of teeth the child has at the time. For a 1 - 1 1/2 year old I recommend between 1 minute and 30. As the child gains more teeth then you increase the time. A patient with a full set of adult teeth or children with mix dentition (primary teeth mixed with adult teeth) should brush for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends 2X2 (2 minutes of brushing twice to day). I hope that this helps you in achieving optimal dental health.
