Brush for 2 minutes.

No more, no less.

One is not enough.

Three is too much.

Four is right out.



good brushing is technique independent of time

if you brush for 2 minutes but don't get enough passes over each square mm of surface area, you have done a bad job of brushing

instead of watching the clock, imagine each of those surface areas and make sure you hit them

plus gums, tongue, roof of mouth, etc.


the SonicCare has this "quad-pacer" feature where every 30 seconds it makes a sound to remind you to change quadrants of your mouth, and after 2 minutes it shuts off.
