Toothbrushing Time and Frequency

For many years, dental providers advised patients to brush their teeth after every meal. Research has indicated that, if plaque is completely removed every other day, no harmful effects will occur in the oral cavity. On the other hand, very few individuals completely remove plaque; therefore, frequent brush is still extremely important and recommended. This repeated brushing will maximize sulcular cleaning as a measure to control periodontal disease, as well as introduce more frequent use of fluoride dentifrices to control caries. In areas with periodontal pockets, even more frequent oral hygiene procedures are indicated.

Thorough tooth brushing requires a different amount of time for each individual, depending on such factors as the tendency to accumulate plaque and debris; the person’s psychomotor skills; and the adequacy of clearance of foods, bacteria and debris by the saliva. Often a compromise is made by suggesting 5 to 10 strokes in each area or by advocating the use of the timer. A person should be encouraged to brush for up to 2 minutes and to use a timing device. In addition, many power toothbrushes are designed with built-in timers that signal the patient when to move to another area of the mouth; the timers shut off when the designated number of minutes has passed.

Patients tend to apportion more time and effort on the facial areas of the anterior teeth. Often, right-handed people do not brush the right side of the arch as well as the left side; left-handed people similarly neglect the left side of the arch.
