The right toothbrush, how to choose

Why you need to spend so much time choosing a toothbrush

According to research, more than 75% of people do not pay enough attention to choosing a toothbrush, buying it in a variety of places: in a hardware store near their home, at the market, in a supermarket, just from consultants on the street ... Few of these people think that in fact a toothbrush should be bought in a pharmacy or in specialized stores. Why is it so important to buy a toothbrush in a pharmacy? Because there you will be met by a smart and highly qualified pharmacist who will individually advise you exactly the toothbrush that will suit your enamel type, and will also meet the required parameters of hardness.

The right choice of toothbrush depends not only on the hygiene of your oral cavity, but also on its condition. The wrong choice of "tool" for brushing teeth can lead to such consequences as damage and weakening of enamel, cracked gums, stomatitis, etc.

There are a large number of different variations of toothbrushes, but they can be divided into the following categories:

• regular toothbrush;
• ion toothbrush;
• electric toothbrush;
• ultrasonic toothbrush.

Next, we will consider all types of proposed toothbrushes and still try to figure out which toothbrush is worth choosing.

Regular toothbrush

When choosing a regular toothbrush, you should pay attention to its level of hardness, as it can be soft, medium, hard. A soft toothbrush is suitable for children under 5 years of age and for those people who have increased sensitivity of the gums. A toothbrush of medium hardness is recommended for use by both children and adults. A hard toothbrush is not recommended for anyone, as it can damage the enamel of the teeth or harm the gums. It can be used by people only on the recommendation of a dentist.

Toothbrush using ions

A toothbrush using ions is very convenient and useful in that it can be used without toothpaste. This toothbrush has a titanium dioxide coating on its rod, which releases negatively charged electrons and when they interact with human saliva, ions with a positive sign are formed. Such a brush will also saturate your oral cavity with oxygen when brushing your teeth.

A toothbrush that runs on electricity

A toothbrush that runs on electricity performs rotational cleaning movements, which covers a larger area than a regular brush. With the help of such movements, almost 90% of all bacteria are removed, which is undoubtedly a good characteristic.

A toothbrush using ultrasound

A toothbrush with an ultrasonic wave has a therapeutic effect on the gums, restores tooth enamel, and prevents the appearance of tartar.

So which toothbrush should you choose?

Dentists and other specialists still recommend choosing brushes that come with artificial bristles, soft or medium hardness. You will choose the brand of toothbrush for yourself, as it is individual for each person. The main thing is that when you brush your teeth with your toothbrush, you do not harm them, but on the contrary, only strengthen and make your oral cavity healthier in general.

Choose toothbrushes for yourself and your family correctly and brush your teeth for health!
