The simple question of whether you’re using the right toothbrush will generally elicit one of two responses: First, you may say, “Of course!” and then feel ready to list off all of the reasons you’re certain. Or, you might say, “Well, I’m not really sure,” primarily because you can’t list of all of those essential details that make up a good-for-you brush. If you fall into the latter group (or if you just want to be sure you’ve got your details straight), then we encourage you to take our dental hygiene suggestions into consideration!
About The Bristles
If you’re using the right toothbrush for your dental hygiene, then you’re using soft bristles. If you’re using anything other than “soft,” then you’re putting your oral health in danger. Caring for your smile is something that must be done with a gentle approach, so keep this in mind as you shop.
About The Handle
If you keep dropping the brush because the handle is too slim (or too big), if it’s a strange shape that digs into your hand, or if anything else about the size and shape of the handle (and the rest of the brush) is an issue … try something else. You want everything to feel natural and comfortable.
About The Color And Appearance
Remember that dental hygiene can be fun! Treat yourself to a brush that makes you smile by selecting a color you prefer or even a design. It’s worth it.
About ADA Stuff
It’s true. Acceptance by the American Dental Association (ADA) really does mean your brush is a reliable one for your dental hygiene.
