    Around 3-4 minutes, with a normal toothbrush. I always walk around the house while brushing my teeth, so it might be even longer than that. ^^;

    shit... u'll be expecting some serious gum recession soon lol..
    hardcore? hmm... u should brush gently.. not with hard force... brushing hard doesnt equal clean..
    more movement's better

    its true... electric toothbrush's better... hmm as for brushing longer.. i dont know.. well i would say brush effectively..
    it would be pointless if u brush for 5 mins.. but just brushing on a few specific spot
    eheheh

    yup yup.. flossing's really important.. cos u will get good debris stuck in between ur teeth.. which would cause interproximal caries later... that wot usually ppl get.. either the occlusal or interproximal.. so flossing is very important :)
    n also to prevent deep pocketing at ur gums :)
    good one woot! floss!
    eheheh

    I usually brush less then 1 minute. The gum starts bleeding just 15 seconds of brushing
