    Oral care and looking after one's teeth and gums are very important for maintaining good health. In order to clean teeth it is necessary to remove plaque and tartar from it. The accumulation of plaque and tartar on tooth surfaces will lead to disease and infections like dental caries and periodontal disease. To clean teeth several factors should be taken into consideration like the toothbrush, toothpaste, the angles of cleaning the teeth etc. some people think that brushing the teeth for a longer time would help to clean it better. This is a wrong assumption with no basis.

    The other factors are more important than the time your teeth are brushed. The time for brushing one's teeth is a personal issue and varies from person to person. While some require only some time some other need more time. Yet generally teeth should be regularly brushed for twice a day i.e. before breakfast and after supper for three to four minutes. This would help in the healthy maintenance of teeth.
