PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you brush your teeth?
Brush your teeth twice every day, for about 2 minutes each time. One of those times is just before bed.
The NHS recommends brushing twice a day for about two minutes, including last thing before bed. Afterwards, spit out the toothpaste but do not rinse straight away with water. That way the fluoride keeps working longer.
- Use fluoride toothpaste
- Brush all surfaces of your teeth for about 2 minutes
- Spit out the toothpaste, but do not rinse straight away
