In order to brush all the areas of your mouth adequately, you should be brushing for about two minutes. While the sometimes mundane task of brushing your teeth may cause you to quickly swipe your teeth and go, it is important to spend enough time taking care of your teeth and gums. Top Choice Dental of Hopkinsville, KY wants to remind patients to brush effectively! Take some tips for making sure you are spending a full two minutes brushing!
Tunes
Play some music while you are brushing your teeth! It may even help you wake up in the morning! Most music players also have a timer, so just rock out until you hit two minutes!
Cell Phones
Phones are timers and watches for many people. Set a two-minute timer on your phone! If your phone has music on it, that’s bonus!
Break it Up
Split your mouth into four sections and spend thirty seconds on each section. Just don’t forget your tongue, inner cheeks, and the roof of your mouth!
Electric Toothbrushes
Many electric toothbrushes have automatic timers on them. They pause in vibration a couple of times when you have hit two minutes!
Keep a good at-home oral care routine and have great dental checkups! To schedule an appointment with Top Choice Dental of Hopkinsville, KY, call us at (270) 886-8585 or visit our website, www.hoptowndental.com.
