Did you know that the recommended brushing time is two minutes?
That's longer than the average time of 45 seconds, but those extra few minutes are worth it to keep your teeth healthy. A study published in The Journal of Dental Hygiene found that brushing for 120 seconds removed 26% more plaque than brushing for 45 seconds.
Here's a tip: set a timer on your phone for two minutes. Or, even better, play your favourite two-minute song!
Try "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen (1 minute and 58 seconds), "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong (2 minutes and 21 seconds), or "All the Small Things" by blink-182 (2 minutes and 48 seconds) and brush away!
