How Long Should You Brush?

tooth brush on a counter

Doctor Teichmiller and the American Dental Association recommend two minutes as a minimum time for brushing. Most people think they brush that long but would be surprised if they actually set a timer. Most of us only brush for about a minute, if that.

Decatur Smiles provides preventative dentistry. We work with our patients to establish essential oral hygiene habits.

If you are looking for a family dentist in Decatur, I invite you to meet my comprehensive team. We offer general and restorative dentistry, including full-mouth rehabilitation and comprehensive care and cosmetic work.

And here’s a quick cold-fighting piece of advice for my patients; get a new toothbrush when you catch a cold. A toothbrush teeming with germs can re-infect you!
