Are You Brushing Long Enough?
It’s common knowledge that we should brush our teeth two to three times a day, but for how long? Researchers have noticed that those who brush often enough usually don’t brush long enough to do a good job. Dentists suggest that an effective toothbrushing routine should last at least two to three minutes. Yet most of us are investing about 45 seconds!
Find a way to extend your toothbrushing a minute or two longer. While you’re brusing, sing a song (to yourself), count to 300 or find an inexpensive egg timer.
