Rushing My Toothbrushing! / myLot

Sometimes, specially when I wake up late in the morning that I have to rush myself, I just grab my toothbrush put some toothpaste and brush my teeth in a hurry. It only takes me around 20 to 30 seconds to do it. But do you know that proper brushing should take at least two minutes! That is 120 seconds! That means I haven't done 25% of the proper brushing. Do you also rush your way in brushing your teeth?

I probably spend almost 2 minutes brushing - at night. The problem with brushing in the morning is it ruins the taste of breakfast. So you think you're bad. I only brush at night before going to bed.

I have never brushed my teeth for only 20-30 seconds. I also spare time to brush my teeth even if I am already late. I also dont like brushing my teeth in a hurry cause there is a huge possibility of getting a canker sore when you hit some parts of your mouth.
