Opinion- Let Us Know How long is appropriate To Brush The Mouth And Have a bath by nickxtra(m): 9:01am On Jun 21, 2016
I was in a heated argument with a friend of mine this morning over a small matter, as the time frame for one to brush the mouth and for bathing. It happened that I went to brush this morning and I came out of the bathroom after about 3 minutes, but my friend (a guest of mine) just hissed and said that if I cannot brush my mouth upward to at least 5 minutes and bathe at least upward of 20 minutes, that I should not call that brushing or bathing as the case may be. As he kept on teasing me, my wife took sides with him in the same argument, but I told them that 2 to 3 minutes is enough for me to scrub/brush my mouth and that I don't even need to bathe in a period exceeding 10 minutes, including toileting where applicable. I told my friend that brushing mouth in period upto 5 minutes is not only time wasting, but awkward and bathing more than 7-10 minutes is also a waste of time. This is particularly so, because I know I have a clean and odourless mouth and body. I brush well within 2-3 minutes and bathe within 5 to 10 minutes with satisfaction of cleanliness and I have never had any cause to complain,
after all, I am not a nursing mother who should take a whole lot of "sleeping" in the bathroom in the name of brushing and bathing. I believe the time frame to do both is personal and relative depending on the circumstance.

My question now is, how long do you do your mouth brushing and bathing, particularly in the morning? As for me, 2 to 3 minutes is enough to brush and 5 to 10 minutes is enough for me to have a satisfactory bath, including toilet.

Nobody wants me to enter the bathroom before them. That'll give you an insight into the minutes I use.
Weekends, I use thirty minutes.
Workdays, I half the minute. That's fifteen.

Brushing for anything more than 3 minutes would affect your gums on the long-run.
