On the shelves of health stores there are a lot of different types of toothbrushes available for customers, so it can happen that we look at the different toothbrushes with special handles or bristles helplessly but is the most expensive or the newest type the best one? What aspects have to be taken into consideration if we want to achieve perfect cleaning? Now, we are sharing the answers with You.
It is essential to know that strong scrubbing is not good for the tooth enamel and the gums alike therefore we should not buy a toothbrush with hard bristles. These type of toothbrushes are ideal for removable dentures but on the lung run they can cause the withdrawal of the gums which will make the dental neck unprotected.
In general, the most recommended type of toothbrush is the medium one which means it is medium hard. With the help of this we can remove the remained plaque on the teeth effectively and this way we can prevent the quick formation of tartar.
We can buy toothbrushes with different length of thread and their function is to clean the back teeth (posterior) and the area between the teeth more thoroughly. But we can also find such brushes which has rubber bristles or plates. These types can massage the gums while we are washing our teeth.
Having bought a toothbrush with whichever hardness, You should buy one with rounded bristles because this way You can make sure that You will not reach a reverse effect with thorough cleaning.
Though, dental hygiene specialists explain how we should wash our teeth correctly in a detailed way, there are people who do not want to leave immaculate cleanliness to chance. For them, the best choice is an electric toothbrush which only has to be kept to the surface of the teeth and it will do the rest of the work instead of them.
The small and rounded brush heads perform circular and pulsing 3D movements and they also reach the hindermost teeth and do a very precise cleaning on those areas where it would be very difficult to get rid of the remains of food and plaque.
However, even the application of professional toothbrushes cannot protect us from the insidious activity of bacteria hiding between the teeth which can cause dental decay. Our most effective weapon against bacteria can be dental floss and interdental toothbrushes. The former one is suitable for the cleaning of tight teeth and the latter one is ideal for people who do not have tight teeth.
Whichever toothbrush You choose, do not forget to change them regularly at least after two months but in case of sickness or after herpes infection it is recommended to buy a new toothbrush.
