Dear friend,
You really dont need to do that. Brushing about 5 minutes is enough,
you dont need to reload your gun again and again. Brush instead in
the morning and after dinner before you go to sleep, that will ensure
your oral hygiene.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Payal,
Thanks a million for your informative response.
I will surely implement your suggestions.
However, I would like to make a clarification here.
When I say I brush thrice, I mean that I repeat the same procedure of
applying toothpaste and brushing my teeth 3 times in one brush itself.
So, when I brush in the morning, I repeat that procedure 3 times.
I mostly do that because I don't know whether my teeth have become
perfectly white after brushing or not.
