Teeth Brushing Sticker Chart – Free Printable, 2 Boxes a Day

How it works

This teeth brushing sticker chart is a weekly grid you type and print. It opens on one name and 2 rows, Brush in the morning and Brush at night: 14 boxes a week. It quotes the NHS and adds no advice of its own.

Two rows, 14 boxes

The NHS says to brush children's teeth twice a day for about 2 minutes: once just before bed at night and at 1 other time. So a tooth brushing sticker chart needs two rows, and the sample has them. Type over the name, and over the rows if you word them differently.

Two children, or more rows

For two children, type both names with a comma between them. Each name gets its own block with both rows. Pick from 64 steps adds a row from the list, such as Brush for one whole song. Up to 12 rows fit.

The NHS suggests timing about 2 minutes with an egg timer. Our sand timer has a 2 minute glass with a Tooth brushing routine.
A sticker chart for brushing teeth prints plain boxes and no pictures. Tooth stickers, foil stars or a pen check all fill them.
For a teeth brushing reward chart with a target, switch to points: 2 rows over 7 days make 14. The reward prints under the chart.

Questions and answers

Which rows suit a toddler and which an older child?

The NHS says a parent or carer should brush a child's teeth up to age 3, a child of 3 to 6 brushes with an adult supervising, and children of 7 and over can brush alone, still watched. The list is grouped to match.

What else can go on a brushing chart?

The list has 64 rows in 8 groups: the full 2 minutes, every step at the sink, floss, braces and retainers, nights away and the dentist. Two of them: Wear your retainer tonight, Let the dentist count your teeth.

Does it print a tooth, a sun or a moon?

No. The page prints a title, a Week of line, the day names, the boxes and a reward line. The words morning and night in each row stand in for a sun and a moon. New week clears the ticks and keeps the rows.

Morning and night 6

Brush at night One box for the night brush. The NHS says to brush just before bed at night and at 1 other time.
Brush before the school bus Brushed, and the brush back in its cup, before the front door opens on a school day. Retype it for a car ride or a walk.
Brush in the morning One box for the morning brush, at whatever hour the family does it. The NHS page on children's teeth says twice daily for children up to 3 and at least twice daily from 3.
Brush, then pick the bedtime book The night brush comes first and the book is chosen afterward. The box is for the brushing.
Morning brush after breakfast Brushed once the breakfast bowl is cleared. The American Academy of Pediatrics says it is best to clean teeth right after breakfast and before bedtime.
Night brush, last thing before bed Brushed, then straight to bed. Last thing at night before bed is the NHS's own wording for the night brush.

How this list was compiled: Row wordings and hint lines written for this site on 2026-09-18 and revised on 2026-09-20. Every row is something a child does at the sink, at the dentist or with a grown-up, worded as what to do. None is a reward or a prize. Where a hint line names a body, the detail was checked against that body's own page on 2026-09-20. NHS, Children's teeth, https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-teeth-and-gums/taking-care-of-childrens-teeth/ (reviewed 30 June 2025; the next review is due 30 June 2028). American Academy of Pediatrics, healthychildren.org, Good Oral Health Starts Early: AAP Policy Explained, https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/oral-health/Pages/Brushing-Up-on-Oral-Health-Never-Too-Early-to-Start.aspx (last updated 4/17/2026; the address still carries the page's older title). American Dental Association, MouthHealthy, Brushing Your Teeth, https://www.mouthhealthy.org/all-topics-a-z/brushing-your-teeth (no review date shown). The braces, retainer, mouthguard and nights-away rows carry no guidance of their own. Left out because none of the three pages says it: tongue brushing, mouthwash, how long to wait after eating, sugar and snack rules, and any age for starting to floss. Licence: own work
