Proper brushing takes at least two minutes-that's right,120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved,try using a stopwath to properly brush your teeth,use short,gentle strokes,paying extra attention to the gumline,hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings,crowns or other restoration.Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:
*clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth,then your lower teeth.
*clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth.
*clean the chewing surfaces.
*for fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too.

I think I spend enough time to brush my teeth. The reason is I usually brush the teeth when I am in front of the computer. I surf the net and meanwhile I am brushing my teeth. This is why I am sure I brush my teeth over 2 minutes:) I pay attention to my dental health.
