Have you ever walked down the oral health aisle, just to find yourself overwhelmed by all of the decisions? Fear not, because Drs. Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk are here to help you pick the right instrument to clean those pearly (or not so pearly) whites. It’s important to know that it doesn’t matter if you use an electric or a manual toothbrush, as long as you are putting the time and effort into your oral hygiene routine.
Any toothbrush that you choose for yourself should have soft bristles. Hard bristles can cause abrasion to periodontal tissue and will only make the teeth more sensitive. Select a toothbrush head that will easily fit in your mouth. If you are shopping for a child, it’s important to select a toothbrush that has soft bristles for gentle cleaning, a small head to fit their tiny teeth and a large handle, because this is easier for a child to grip. You should replace your toothbrush once every three months or sooner if the bristles become worn out or frayed.
