How Long Should You Brush Your Teeth?
The ADA consensus recommendation is two minutes, twice a day, with fluoride toothpaste.
Why timers can help
Many powered brushes include a two-minute timer, and some add 30-second prompts to divide attention across the mouth. A timer is useful only if it helps you follow a complete routine.
What about “faster” toothbrush claims?
A multi-surface brush may contact several surfaces at once, but that should not be interpreted as permission to ignore general professional guidance. Follow your dentist’s advice and the product’s instructions.
