Temecula Dentists Provide Tips on Choosing a Toothbrush
at Oasis Family Dental would like to offer you some toothbrush choosing tips.
Tip #1: Size is Everything
When choosing a toothbrush, you want to purchase one that will aid you in reaching all of the nooks and crannies in your mouth. The handle of the brush should be long enough that you can maneuver it in and out of your mouth with ease. The average store-bought toothbrush will have a head that’s about an inch long and a half-an-inch wide. This should fit the average mouth. However, if you find that size tends to be a problem, talk to your Temecula dentists about alternative options.
Tip #2: A Soft Touch
Most toothbrushes are made with soft nylon bristles. You might think that you’ll be able to do a better job with a harder toothbrush, but this can actually be too abrasive for your protective tooth enamel. If you have particularly large amounts of calculus (tartar) buildup, even with good oral hygiene and regular cleanings, a medium or hard toothbrush might be recommended. Just be sure to follow your dentist’s orders, and when in doubt, ask.
Tip #3: Rock Down to Electric Avenue
Many patients wonder if they should invest in an expensive electric toothbrush, or just stick to the manual, disposable versions they grew up with. For people with issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or those that simply have trouble sticking with their twice-daily oral hygiene routine, electric toothbrushes might be the best way to give your teeth the proper two minute cleaning they deserve. You may even be surprised to know that teeth and gums sometimes receive a gentler cleaning from electric brushes. At the very least, they are far more consistent. If you do go down the electric avenue, be sure to change your brush heads every three months. Dental
