What Type of Toothbrush Should You Buy?
A toothbrush is one of the most valuable tools you will ever use to keep your teeth clean. For best results, use a toothbrush in combination with dental floss and mouthwash. However, before we get too involved in the brushing process, which toothbrush is best for you? There are many brushes out there you can purchase; which one should you choose? The bright blue, hard-bristled one? Or, the soft-bristle, green toothbrush with rubber alongside the bristles? To help you out, here is a key element to keep in mind when choosing a toothbrush:
Many dental professionals agree that a soft-bristled toothbrush is best.
Contrary to popular belief, a soft-bristled toothbrush may be able to remove more debris and plaque from your teeth than the hard-bristled ones; in fact, they are actually safer for your tooth enamel too. A toothbrush which has too hard of bristles may end up removing plaque on your teeth, but watch out because the enamel is likely to jump aboard the brush-bristle train. In combination with soft-bristles, if you choose a toothbrush with a smaller head, you’ll likely be able to reach all areas of your mouth, including the hard-to-reach areas, such as your back molars.
