How Long Should You Brush?

Chandler Cosmetic Dentistry

Did you remember that brushing and flossing fights bad breath and removes stains?

If you have persistent stains that brushing can’t remove, get your teeth bleached at Harris Dental for a dazzling, stain-free smile.

The American Dental Association recommends two minutes as a minimum time for brushing. Most Chandler men and women think they brush that long but would be surprised if they actually set a timer. Most of us only brush for about a minute, if that.

I am Dr. Joe Harris of Harris Dental. In my practice, we emphasize preventative dentistry by working with our patients to establish essential oral hygiene habits.

If you are looking for a a family dentist in Chandler, I invite you to come meet my welcoming team.

Our Chandler office is located at 3200 S Alma School Rd, Ste 103. We offer general and restorative dentistry, including gum disease treatment and emergency dentistry.

And here’s a quick cold-fighting tip for my Chandler patients: get a new toothbrush when you catch a cold. A toothbrush teeming with germs can re-infect you!
