HOW LONG IS LONG ENOUGH WHEN BRUSHING?
Many people question how long they should take when brushing their teeth. Answers can vary, but the Academy of General Dentistry suggests, in their
website (www.agd.org), that the average person brush for 2 minutes per
day or 14 minutes per week. Mathematically this would mean that one brush
approximately 12 hours per year. The AGD suggests that the average person
should brush 6 minutes per day or 46 minutes per week which would equal
approximately 36.4 hours per year.
If you brush 2 times per day, that would mean you should brush for at
least 3 minutes each time.
