You pick it up each morning, and you use it every day…
hopefully. That’s right – your toothbrush! However, time passes by so quickly
and soon you realize it is time to replace your beloved dental utensil for a
new one. With the countless options we observe in the dental aisles, how does
one choose the correct toothbrush for them? Here is what one should look for
when choosing the perfect scrubber:
- Soft bristles only
It’s almost unfortunate that
toothbrushes are provided with medium and hard bristles to begin with. The
amount of force used in combination with the course textures can cause
inflammation of the gums and even recede the gum line if applied with too much
pressure. Avoid unhealthy gums and maintain a tight gum attachment by choosing
a toothbrush with soft bristles only. Don’t worry – they will eliminate debris and plaque just as good!
- Tongue scraper
Some people take advantage of this
cool texture on the back of the toothbrush while others do not. Throughout the
day, many germs and debris accumulate in the crevices of the tongue as they do
on and in between teeth. Utilize the scraper on the back of the toothbrush, or
even purchase a separate tongue scraper, in order to remove the additional
bacteria to ensure a healthy tongue!
- Conform to your mouth
You may have noticed that some
toothbrush heads are much larger than others. Small heads are better at
removing plaque in harder to reach places; however, you may be an individual
who prefers a larger surface to clean the teeth. Pick the size that works best
for you in regards to the shape and size of your mouth without sacrificing its
suitability to clean all areas of the teeth!
By choosing a toothbrush with each of these three features,
you can assure a healthier smile in no time!
