How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?

Also, should you clean your gums at a separate time with just water?How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?
Providing you don't particularly need a filling often, at 19 you'll have all your teeth (with your wisdoms coming through possibly), and should be brushing at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. It's normally recommended you brush for at least 2 minutes, 30 seconds per quarter of your mouth (upper left/upper right/lower left/lower right).


I would also suggest brushing from the back teeth, forwards, as these are commonly most ignored.





You should aim to floss before brushing, twice a day, however if you can only floss once a day, do it before bedtime.





There isn't a real need to clean your gums at a seperate time, however mouthwashing twice a day often improves the condition of your gums too.How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?
