Brushing teeth to measure

Brush your teeth to the beat of the following music to get the most out of your brushing.

There is a rhythm and structure to brushing your teeth properly. A dentist and a musicologist joined forces to find the ideal music to brush your teeth.

The five best songs to brush your teeth
1. Psy – Gangnam style
2. Rihanna – Diamonds
3. Gotye- Somebody that I used to know
4. Olly Murs – Troublemaker
5. Wiley- Heatwave
6. Cheryl Cole – Call My Name

Perfect brushing
In a perfect brushing session, you brush at least thirty-five times per side, ideally making seven brushing movements in five parts. To perform these movements smoothly to music, a song should consist of eight bars, then two times four bars. There must also be a double chorus and a bridge in the song.
