A good\r\ntoothbrush could be the difference between healthy teeth and gums and\r\ndeveloping oral-related illnesses. Regular brushing will always be recommended\r\nby your dentist and with a good routine your teeth will stay strong and you\u2019ll\r\nhave a bright, shiny smile you can be proud of. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
But, when it\r\ncomes to choosing a brush what should you go for and how will it affect your\r\nteeth? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Most\r\ndentists will recommend using an electric toothbrush as it usually offers a\r\nmuch deeper clean than the manual kind. Using a vibration and rotation\r\nmovement, the brush head removes plaque buildup much easier, which prevents\r\nbacteria, infections and other related problems. Many electric toothbrushes\r\nalso come with a timer, so you can ensure you\u2019re brushing for the right amount\r\nof time. Of course, a manual toothbrush is better than not brushing at all, but\r\nan electric type is definitely something you should consider.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Most people\r\nthink all toothbrushes are the same, but there is actually a lot of variety\r\nbetween each brush. Choosing an appropriate bristle type can make brushing your\r\nteeth more comfortable, using a hard bristled brush could cause bleeding\r\nwhereas soft bristles may not give you the clean feeling you desire. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Toothbrushes\r\naren\u2019t designed to last forever, but you\u2019d be surprised how long people decide\r\nto keep them for. The more you brush the more the bristles get worn down and\r\ncan bend out of shape, which means you\u2019re teeth aren\u2019t getting the proper clean\r\nthey need. Furthermore, with all the food and plaque that\u2019s picked up on your\r\nbrush, it\u2019s hygienic to make sure you switch brushes regularly. Replacing your\r\ntoothbrush or brush head every three to four months is fine, however, you may\r\nwant to do this earlier if you notice any changes. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
