well i believe both time and way you brush your teeth matter.

I believe it is all about how you brush them, not necessarily how long. You could do it for 5 minutes, but do a poor job or do it for 2-3 minutes and do it right. I would surely agree that it matters how not how long.

I think 2-3 minutes is good enough. You just have to make sure that you brush everywhere properly.

I am not always believing those so called professional articles. People just made up things some time. How are your teeth? Are they still good? If so, just keep the way you are.

I usually brush my teeth for around 2 to 3 minutes each time. However, I saw a report a couple of days ago saying that you need to make sure toothpaste stay in your mouth for at leat 5 minutes. That means, you at least should keep brushing for 5 minutes then you teeth are cleaned.

I was shocked by this news because for fifty years in my life I only spend half the time it is required to clean my teeth. I was wondering how many minutes everybody brush teeth. Thanks.
