General Tips for Choosing a Toothbrush

 

Have you ever found that you really liked or disliked a specific toothbrush? Or do you just grab something from the shelf when it's time to replace your old one.

Picking out toothbrushes isn't rocket science, but there are some things to keep in mind. Size is one thing to consider. Toothbrushes with half-inch heads will work for most people. You can also pick from soft, medium, or hard bristles. Soft is going to be recommended for most people. If you're a very heavy plaque producer, your dentist may recommend using medium or even hard bristles. Otherwise, it's best to avoid these, as they can actually damage your tooth enamel and your gums.

Be sure to change your toothbrush out regularly. Old toothbrushes tend to have a lot of bacteria, which isn't great for your mouth.

It's worth noting that electric toothbrushes are generally considered superior to the plain kind. There are many models to pick from. Ask your dentists Miami Beach, FL for more information on picking out toothbrushes.
