When brushing your teeth, how long should you brush your tongue and roof of mouth?

A clean mouth isn't just about your teeth. You need to brush your tongue, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth, too, altogether for 2-3 minutes a day, twice a day.

Yes I know but how long for everything besides the teeth. Its 2 minutes for the teeth so is it 2 minutes for the rest?

@Asker Well, I would think that 2-3 minutes for everything

2 minutes, is recommended brushing time. Don't exaggerate because too long brushing leads sometimes to gum infections. Philips sonicare toothbrushes have an inbuilt timer.
