Ever since you were a little child, you probably had parents that would always tell you to make sure to brush your teeth. Kids do not really care about taking the time to go into the bathroom every morning and night to take care of their mouth.

It is also hard to get little children to brush for enough time. Some people have a song to sing or a timer that they put right next to the sink so that you know exactly how much time you have left to clean them.

But a lot of times, no one ends up really scrubbing them for the appropriate amount of time and this leads to dental problems later on. So how long should you clean them for?

Believe it or not, you should be scrubbing them for two minutes at least twice a day in the morning and at night. Most people only spend about thirty seconds on it and think that they are doing a good enough job.

How should you brush? By holding your brush at a forty-five degree angle, you brush in from where the tooth and the gum meet to the chewing surface using short strokes in a circle formation.
