Which tooth brush is right for you?
You may feel as long as you brush your teeth twice a day, it doesn’t matter which tooth brush you use, especially as you are going to throw it away in a couple of months.
However, the type of tooth brush you use can have a detrimental effect upon what procedures your dentist will have to do the next time you visit!
If you are clueless to what tooth brush you should be using to take care of your teeth, below we have outlined a rough guide for what you should be looking for the next time you buy a tooth brush.
Brushing is easy, but if you are sometimes lazy - just use Smile 4 You to brighten up your teeth for a GORGEOUS smile!
- Soft bristled brush – easier on your teeth and gums, soft bristled tooth brushes are your best route for removing plaque and debris without causing your gum tissue and enamel to wear away.
- Opt for comfort – by now you’ll have noticed that there are a variety of different shaped tooth brushes available on the market. Ranging from rectangular to tapered, easy grip handles to flexible necks – aim to pick a tooth brush that is comfortable, isn’t too big and which can reach all places in your mouth.
- Electric tooth brush – whilst many of you may prefer to manually brush your teeth, electric ones do have their own advantages. Helping to give your teeth a consistent clean with little effort from yourself; whether you opt for the vibrating or the oscillating brush, each can help to get into those crevices and remove plaque/debris.
Just remember when using electric tooth brushes that you don’t need to scrub as this will eventually stop the brush from working.
Is there a best way to brush your teeth?
Proper teeth brushing should take at least 2 minutes and should ensure that every tooth surface is gently massaged by your tooth brush…
Simply aim to brush your teeth using short, gently strokes paying extra attention to your gumline, your back teeth and any areas surrounding fillings/crowns.
- Tilt your brush at a 45 degree angle against your gumline and sweep/roll the brush away
- Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short, back and forth strokes
- Gently brush your tongue to remove any bacteria and freshen your breath
Benefits of regular tooth brushing
It’s true… brushing your teeth twice a day can make a huge difference to the appearance of your teeth as well as to your oral hygiene.
Helping to remove any plaque/debris that has accumulated over the day; regular brushing can also prevent a build up of acids which can erode away your enamel and leave the detrin underneath looking exposed and yellow.
But this is not all…
By removing this plaque you can escape the embarrassment of bad breath and benefit from a glistening, beautiful smile.
However, even regular brushing can not prevent all staining…
Consume tea, coffee or cigarettes in excess and no amount of brushing can completely rid you of their stains.
