10 Daily Tips To Improve Overall Oral Health

Brush For Two Minutes

A dentist's general rule for ensuring proper daily cleaning is to brush for at least two full minutes, twice daily. It takes at least this long to see clean results from a brushing session, and there is a reason for that. Each section of the tooth requires approximately thirty seconds of efficient brushing to be properly cleaned, and there are four sections in a patients mouth. If someone is in a hurry and only brushing for a few seconds through their entire mouth, they are not brushing long enough to improve even their breath, let alone getting an efficient clean. Committing two minutes a day is a small price to pay to ensure overall good oral health and minimizing the risk of painful and unsightly cavities.
