Choices of a toothbrush
It is essential that the toothbrush can move freely in your mouth to clean every tooth surface. The bristles should be soft so that it does not injure the gums.
The size of the toothbrush head should be appropriate to the size of the oral cavity
. In general, the size of a toothbrush head which is about the diameter of a one-dollar coin will be suitable for adults.
The bristle pattern and handle design should be determined by personal preference and habit.
Both manual and powered toothbrushes clean the teeth effectively as long as they are used correctly.
If you choose to use an interdental brush or a powered toothbrush, you should consult your dentist first.
