Two Minute NotesHow long should you brush

About Two Minute Notes

Two Minute Notes is written for adults who want to brush more effectively and are unsure whether they are doing enough. It is an independent guide, not a clinic, and it does not offer personal treatment advice.

The guides cover brushing time, the reasoning behind two minutes, timers and apps, a section-by-section method, brushing to music and helping children reach a full two minutes. Each one is practical and ends with something you can try that day.

The aim is to help readers make sense of everyday oral health topics so they can have better conversations with their dental team. For anything that worries you, a dentist is the right person to ask.

What you will find here

Two Minute Notes publishes 5 guides about how long should you brush, among them Why Two Minutes: What to Know, Brushing Timers and Apps, The Four-Quadrant Method.
