Toothbrushes and floss are a lot alike, in that the one you should buy is the one you feel comfortable
using.
“When discussions of toothbrushes arise it is generally in
reference to the two main types of brushes: manual or powered, but there are
some other things to keep in mind,” says Dr. Denine Rice from her Periodontal
and Implant Practice in Riverside, California. “You should make sure the size
and shape of the brush head fits into and allows easy access to all locations
of your mouth. You will also want a soft or very soft bristled brush, as this
is less damaging for gum tissue and teeth. Finally, a handle that is easy to
grip in your hand will make the process more comfortable.”
Regarding the manual versus powered brush. “Manual brushes
are fine for most people. Some children, though will brush better when they
have a powered brush and some adults with dexterity challenges will find a
powered brush more effective.”
What’s the most important thing to keep in mind when
purchasing a new brush? Brushing and flossing daily is a great way to keep you
smiling for a lifetime.
