When it comes time to purchase a toothbrush, one is given what he seems like a million options at their local grocery store. With colors and shapes of all sizes, it can be confusing to pick the one that is right for you. Here are a few tips to choosing the best toothbrush for you, be that electric or manual!
If at all feasible, purchasing an electric toothbrush is the best, and safest bet for protecting your oral health. Due to the battery operated brushing techniques, this toothbrush is able to do more with less work. Multiple tests have been done, and time and time again, studies show that electric toothbrushes tend to do a better job of cleaning your teeth and removing plaque than their manual counterparts. When contemplating purchasing an electric toothbrush, however, it is important to note that they do tend to cost more, and you will have to factor in the charging element to their use.
If an electric toothbrush is not something you’re interested in, a manual toothbrush could do the trick as well. When selecting your manual toothbrush, look for the brush with the softest bristles. Softer bristles are better at removing plaque, and tend to irritate the gums less. In terms of the size and shape of the handle, truthfully, whatever feels the most comfortable to you is the best option. Comfort is key!
