"Studies show that to properly brush your teeth you need six minutes. Play Bohemian Rhapsody before starting"

SIC Notícias10 September 2026 at 07:30

Dental doctor Filipa Fernandes revealed that studies show that at least six minutes are needed to properly brush teeth, suggesting that the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" be played before starting to brush. This statement was made as part of the "Open Consultation" section, dedicated to discussing health topics.

The article addresses the importance of oral health, which is often undervalued by the population. One of the reasons pointed out for this undervaluation is the lack of access to dental clinics, which means many people do not seek regular dental care.

However, the article emphasizes that with simple daily care it is possible to maintain a good smile and preserve oral health. The main message is that adequate and consistent brushing can be enough to care for teeth on a daily basis.
