Mine said the same

Maybe we have the same dentist

Nervous Portuguese lady?

Mine would have said the same, had I had such a conversation with a dentist, because it’s CORRECT.

I brush my teeth for:

  • Less than a minute
  • 1 - 2 minutes
  • 2 - 3 minutes
  • 3 - 4 minutes
  • 4 - 5 minutes
  • over 5 minutes

I’ve never looked into it, but i tend to stop after a long slow vibrate of the electric brush. This is after 3 short slow vibrates, which I presume happen every 30 seconds, giving me 2 minutes of brushing, but it might be more like one minute, who knows? Impossible to tell, really.

Been bugging me this recently, I’ve not looked into what they mean as I can’t be bothered finding the manual. I don’t know what it’s trying to tell me.

I tend to go between 3 and 4, I’ll put a song on Spotify in that length and when the song ends, so does the brushing

It’s impossible to know.

To shift quadrants

I do:

Top row of teeth
Bottom row of teeth
Top gums
Bottom gums

Then the same order but for the other side of the teeth

You got a teethbrushing playlist or something?

I do the same, I think it’s about two minutes

I just got the manual out. Mine stops buzzing for a split second every 30 seconds to tell you to brush a different area. And then stops entirely after 2 minutes. Thanks Colgate. Tholgate.

Yeah, they might say that in the manual, but it’s still impossible to know for sure.

Is it better to brush after you’ve eaten or before? I can never remember.

Before

Tell you one thing for free, if you’ve recently been drinking acidic drinks, you might want to consider just mouth washing, as the acid might have softened you enamel and brushing could well do more harm than good, or mostly good but more harm than you’d like. Not advice I’ve been told directly , but advice I’ve heard, second hand, from a very trustworthy sauce.
