Which toothbrush should I choose?

The best toothbrush varies from person to person, and from mouth to mouth. We know that many people choose toothbrushes based on old habits, choosing to get the same type you always have, just because you always did. Sound familiar? If this is the case, you may have overlooked a brush that suits you better.

CHOOSING A TOOTHBRUSH: SIZE AND HARDNESS OF THE BRUSH HEAD

It is important that the toothbrush feels comfortable in your mouth, so the size of the brush head is important in relation to the size of your mouth is one of the first things you should consider. It is not the case that larger bristles provide better cleaning, so don’t let that convince you to get a toothbrush that isn’t comfortable in your mouth. To be able to reach in all areas of the mouth, it is better that the brush head is too small than too large.

The optimal brush head is also on the soft side, so you can avoid damaging the gums. You should be aware that even if a brush head is described as ‘medium’ on the packaging, it may still be too hard for you. You might need to try out a few different toothbrushes before you find the bristle strength for your teeth. Also, it should be noted that bristle strength does not translate equally across different brands.

CHOOSING A TOOTHBRUSH: GRIP

A good grip is important to be able to maneuver the toothbrush around in the mouth. How narrow or wide the handle you choose depends on how your typically hold it. If you hold the toothbrush as a precision instrument, with just your fingers, you can choose a brush with a narrow handle. If you hold it as a tool, with your whole hand, you should choose a brush with a larger handle to get a good grip when brushing.

A soft and flexible toothbrush that bends too much can cause you to press harder to brush properly, and thus you can damage both the gums and the teeth. So be careful when choosing your brush handle too.

CHOOSING A TOOTHBRUSH: DESIGN

Functional design of a toothbrush promotes efficient cleaning and helps to ensure good oral hygiene. For many, the aesthetic design is also important. With many consumers looking for a fresh design that makes brushing more tempting. It is not recommended to make a decision based solely on this factor, however, as you may end up with one that does not really suit you and your teeth.

REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH REGULARLY

Using a toothbrush daily causes wear on its bristles. A worn brush does not clean the teeth as well as a new one. To get the best possible cleaning of your teeth, your toothbrush should be changed every three months. A good rule of thumb is to change the toothbrush with the seasons, or to check if the bristles have lost their natural shape. Thus, you will not have to worry about whether you teeth are being properly cleaned.
