How do you go about choosing a toothbrush? Sometimes, it’s not easy. There are a lot of choices out there when it comes to purchasing a toothbrush, which makes it difficult to know what to look for.

Read on to find out how to choose good toothbrush.

  • A good starting point for choosing a toothbrush is to ask your dentist for a recommendation.
  • Choose a toothbrush with a small toothbrush head and a bristle design that helps you to get to the hard-to-reach places of your mouth.
  • Your toothbrush should have soft bristles that are gentle on your teeth and gums.
  • Many toothbrushes have non-slip grips which make them easy to use even if wet..
  • Remember that regularreplacement of toothbrushes or toothbrush heads contributes to maintaining a consistently high level of oral hygiene because clinical research shows a new toothbrush can remove up to 30% more plaque than one that’s three months old.
  • Angled Toothbrush Bristles Better Than Straight Ones
  • Multi-angled toothbrush bristles, are designed that way to increase contact with tooth surfaces between teeth, lifting out plaque even from tough spots.
