How to choose a toothbrush? 4 tips for choosing a toothbrush!


Since we were young, we have been taught to brush our teeth at least twice a day in the morning and evening. However, it turns out that the wrong choice of toothbrush or the wrong way of brushing not only affects the cleaning effect, but even hurts the gums. According to a 2014 survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong on the oral health of Hong Kong people, about 33% of the respondents believed that they had problems with receding gums or elongated teeth. Professional dentists pointed out that the size of the toothbrush, the hardness of the bristles, and the shape of the bristles all have an impact...


The size of the brush head is about 2cm

Generally, most toothbrushes on the market refer to the oral cavity size of Europeans and Americans, and the design is too large. Compared with the cheeks, teeth, and oral cavity size of Asians, it will be too large, causing many dead spots when brushing teeth, or getting stuck during brushing and causing pain. It is recommended that Asian adults try to choose a smaller one, and the bristle area of ​​about 2cm is more suitable.


soft bristles
Too hard bristles can easily cause damage to the teeth and gums due to improper brushing force. Over time, there will be gum recession or sensitive teeth caused by damaged enamel. When choosing a toothbrush, you should choose softer bristles. You can try to brush the skin of your hands lightly with the strength you brush your teeth. If you feel pain, it means that the bristles are too hard for you.


Personal choice of flat or raised bristle shape

For people with well-aligned teeth, it is enough to choose a flat bristle shape. For people with uneven teeth, you can choose a toothbrush with a serrated multi-purpose design to strengthen cleaning of special positions.

The bristles should not be too dense
Too dense bristles are easy to get stuck in food residue, and the toothbrush itself is not easy to clean and may become a breeding ground for bacteria. At the same time, it is recommended to replace the toothbrush regularly at least every three months, but for the bristles that have exploded, the frequency of replacement should be increased.
