How to choose the right toothbrush?

I don’t know if anyone is like me. The most envious and fearful person in this life is a dentist... Envy is because of a tooth problem. It is too expensive for a wife to see a tooth, and a tooth moves hundreds of thousands; Because dentistry is as terrible as an operating room, the cold pliers are inserted into the mouth, and the heart is directly cold. Many people can see that a wisdom tooth can drag for a few years and dare not go... Therefore, dental health is very important. ! If you have visited the dentist or washed your teeth because of tooth decay/red and swollen gums/demineralized teeth/dental calculus, then you must have heard the doctor say: Go back and brush your teeth!

Doing a good job of daily tooth cleaning can not only keep the wallet, but also protect us from the suffering of "skin and flesh". It can be said that it is the most cost-effective way to "escape the dentist", and choosing a good toothbrush has become the key to good cleaning. What exactly is a suitable toothbrush? It is nothing more than the following major aspects: First, the bristles are soft and hard. If you have been bleeding from a hotel’s hard and difficult-to-use disposable toothbrush, then you must know why I was the first to say it...

Many toothbrushes have soft bristles, medium bristles, and hard bristles. Scientifically speaking, hard bristles are better for cleaning, but long-term use tends to wear teeth and stab the gums. Too much soft bristles will also make it difficult to master power , It is not easy to remove food residues and bacteria in the mouth. Therefore, it is recommended to choose bristles with medium hardness, but the elderly, children, and patients with periodontal disease are more suitable for soft toothbrushes. Second, the size of the brush head. Nowadays, the design of toothbrush heads is very diverse, wide heads, narrow heads, and even subdivided 6 rows of 48 holes, 7 rows of 65 holes... The size of the brush head can be flexibly rotated in the oral cavity, and the small head is more convenient for cleaning each oral cavity. Blind corners and back teeth (focus! The large back teeth are often clean blind spots for daily brushing).

Directly click on the reference data: the brush head usually used is the most suitable for covering two teeth after the toothbrush is placed horizontally, generally 2.5-3cm long and 0.8-1cm wide. Let’s post a little bit more. The brush head of the toothbrush used by children aged 0-2 should not be larger than 15mm, those aged 2-6 should not be larger than 19mm, and those aged 6-12 should not be larger than 22mm. Third, the brush handle. Although this part does not enter the mouth directly, the handle of the brush is the place we have to hold directly every morning and evening. It is the "feel" of the toothbrush in addition to the "taste". It is still very particular-easy to hold and non-slip design. At least it feels comfortable and convenient to use, and it can reach all parts of the oral cavity better. Of course, it would be better to look good~~~ Finally, everyone has probably seen it on the toothbrush packaging, but they have forgotten to make a "truth": the toothbrush is replaced every three months. There are always casual friends who think of replacing the toothbrush when the bristles are curled. In fact, the gain is not worth the loss. The bristles are curled, the toothbrush loses its cleaning effect, and it even scratches the gums, so you still have to replace it regularly! Then, let’s talk directly about the electric toothbrush VS the manual toothbrush. The last chapter said that after reading the teeth, the dentist will definitely tell you to go back and brush your teeth. Way or buy an electric toothbrush."
