When was the last time you perused the oral care aisle at the drugstore? It’s packed FULL of options; choosing the best toothbrush can appear to be an impossible feat. Should you select a brush with soft or hard bristles? Manual or electric? The possibilities may seem endless!
Here are our top three tips for choosing the best toothbrush:
Ultimately, both are good options – it depends on your preference! A manual toothbrush, when used correctly, can get the job done. However, powered toothbrushes make thousands more brush strokes than you ever could manually, so many dentists recommend them for that fresh, clean feeling.
What about the rest of your family? Electric toothbrushes are a good option for all ages! Several models are designed specifically for kids, who don’t have much dexterity yet. Powered toothbrushes can be an effective option so they can reach more areas of their mouth than they could with a manual brush. Additionally, elderly family members may find an electric toothbrush easier to use, since most models have a thicker handle that’s easier to hold (especially for those with arthritis).
Once you’ve selected the perfect toothbrush, remember to pick up some floss and mouthwash as well. Maintain a healthy smile with a solid brushing routine and remember to visit Dr. Benca every six months for a check-up and cleaning!
