Dental tip of the day!
"Probably the most important aspect of tooth brushing is -----How long you brush your teeth. Recent published research indicates that brushing 1 1/2 to 2 minutes is significantly more effective at removing plaque than brushing 30 seconds to 1 minute. This is regardless of whether you use a manual toothbrush or an electric - my favorite. Sometimes 2 minutes seems like a long time- try humming your favorite song or listen to the radio while you brush- Time will fly- stay tuned for the next tip."

I have to say, this is a great dental tip! I find myself often brushing for only 30 seconds or so. I need to make sure to brush longer so my teeth get a good cleaning. I'll try listening to my favorite song while brushing and not stop until it is over! www.fheiselmandds.com
