No. Ellos se sientan a la mesa. Luego, se cepillan los dientes.
Sentarse and cepillarse are both reflexive verbs. There's no need to repeat the pronoun Ellos in every sentence.

So i should just say "ellos sienta a la mesa y se cepillan los dientes"? - wstone36, May 23, 2013
Franco couldn't have told you any better. They are both reflexive, so you must add se to the front. And you can take out ellos (because the verb is already conjugated.) - jessicamccall117, May 23, 2013
Sentarse and cepillarse are reflexive verbs in this case. Se should always be part of their conjugation for pronouns él, ella, usted and ellos/ellas. - francobollo, May 23, 2013
