Why 2 Minutes for Brushing Teeth?
The American Dental Association recommends brushing for 2 minutes, twice a day. This gives enough time to thoroughly clean all tooth surfaces. Many people underestimate how long 2 minutes actually is - that's why a timer helps! Some dentists suggest dividing your mouth into 4 quadrants and spending 30 seconds on each.
