Edit: Since it's come up a couple times in the comment, I'll add that there's evidence use of a water flosser is more effective than dental floss.

Enjoy perfect teeth
45 seconds? That seems a lot shorter than what I grew up being told. Then again I'm not using an electric toothbrush and I should be. I've let my teeth go to shit
Electric toothbrush is 2 minutes; 30 seconds per quadrant
Okay, that matches more what I was told when I had one of those sonic care toothbrushes 20 years ago.
My electric toothbrush has a timer for 2 mins, but otherwise this is my routine for no cavities going on 10 years.
