You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, according to dental health guidelines.
Optimal Times for Brushing
The ideal times to brush your teeth are:
- Last thing at night (or bedtime): This removes plaque and bacteria that have accumulated throughout the day.
- At least one other occasion: This could be in the morning after breakfast, or at another convenient time during the day.
Additional Brushing Information
- Duration: Brush your teeth for 2 minutes each time. Use a timer on your phone or watch to ensure you brush for the full recommended time.
- Toothpaste: Brush with a fluoride toothpaste to help protect your teeth from decay.
