What is the recommended amount of time you should spend brushing your teeth?

Answer explanation

Brushing your teeth for 2 minutes is important because it allows enough time to thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas between teeth and around the gum line.

If you brush for less than two minutes, you may not be able to remove all of the plaque and food particles. Additionally, brushing for a shorter amount of time may not give your toothpaste enough time to do its job, which is to help fight bacteria in your mouth and strengthen your tooth enamel.
