A member asked:
Is there some way to brush my teeth more efficiently so it's less than 2 minutes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's the hurry?: I'm sure you can spare that extra minute. Two minutes is a guideline to help people understand that it takes time to do it properly. If you end up missing spots and have problems such as cavities and gum disease, you will spend hours at the dental office. Spend the time and do it right.
