Finding the Best Toothbrush for You
Finding a good toothbrush seems like an easy task until you visit the toothbrush aisle. There are hundreds of different toothbrushes and it can be difficult to pick the right brand, size and bristles. Here are some tips for finding the right toothbrush to suit your needs.
- Brand: Choose a brand that is recommended by the American Dental Association.
- The bristles: Don’t choose a toothbrush that has hard, stiff bristles. Though you want your toothbrush’s bristles to be firm enough to remove plaque, bristles should also be soft enough to avoid irritating your gums.
- The head: Choose a toothbrush that has a medium- to small-sized head. Large heads make it difficult to clean the curves of your teeth.
- The handle: Whether the handle is padded, angled, long, or short is up to you. Choose a handle that is comfortable.
- Manual or electric?: Choosing whether to use a manual or electric toothbrush is up to you. Electric toothbrushes can be more expensive, but they can also make brushing easier. If you’re shopping for a child’s toothbrush, some electric toothbrushes have countdown timers to motivate children to brush their teeth for the recommended time.
