How long do you brush your teeth?

You are supposed to do that after each meal for a minimum of 90 seconds, so I was told. I checked and I usually find 50 seconds more than enough.How long do you brush your teeth?
About 2 minutes. I have an electrical toothbrush that will let me know when the 2 minutes are up.How long do you brush your teeth?
twice a day, generally for about 2-3 minutes each time, but after hearing these answers, i'll be increasing that! I always gargle my mouthwash first though, then brush my teeth afterwards rather than the other way round.. Not sure why! I think it's because i dont like the lingering taste of mouthwash in my mouth.
Hmmmm, usually, around 2-3 minutes. Gosh, others can make it till 5? haha, the toothpaste's minty flavor might have ran out by then. But, I make it a point to brush at least 3 times a day. 5 to the most, coz I love chocolates, so I need to make up for it. LOL
This is what I do.. Brush for 3 minutes, Spit, Use Mouthwash, Brush retainer, Put retainer back in mouth then do whatever.
My dentist says brush for two minutes twice a day. I have an electric toothbrush which buzzes after two minutes, so it must be a recognised period of time.
In the morning, I brush the longest time, about 2 mins. but first I BRUSH, then rinse, then brush and then brush again, in total about 3 minutes.
Someone told me it needs about 3-4 minutes for the whole effect, because if you do it for less you could miss parts of your mouth.
1 minute usually, unless I've had garlic.
thats actually not true. brushing your teeth twice a day is enough, I don't know who told you that...





i brush twice a day for 3 minutes precisely.

once a week (if i remember) and i saw the dentist this week and he said i must look after my teeth very well.


Brushing is overrated...
2 minutes brush and 1 minute mouthwash. I have a timer in the bathroom.
