    No. I think it will just increase the spread of germs.

    As long as each child has a toothbrush holder to keep the germs away, I think it's a great idea.

      I think it's a great idea. Children love to learn and what a better way to start this most important lifelong habit!

        My children brush their teeth 2 to 3 times a day at home I don't want them using a toothbrush at school no matter how careful they are.

          Children learn by imitating their parents. Early dental hygene is very important.
