How to choose a toothbrush

The toothbrush is the most important tool in oral hygiene. For this reason, from our dental clinic in Tarragona we give you the keys to know how to choose the right toothbrush for you.

Tips for choosing the right toothbrush

Choosing a good toothbrush is easy, but it is not enough to just pick one up at random in any department store. Issues such as brand or aesthetics are not really important. And it's other features that you need to consider.

A brush adapted to you

The right size for your hand will make your work easier, so it is important that you select a brush with a handle that is comfortable and easy to hold and handle.

Power is in the head

Beyond the handle, you will have to look at the head. There are rectangular heads and others that are more circular. It is advisable that the size of the head is not too large, so that it can safely reach all the corners of the mouth. Also, make sure its hardness is medium or even soft. A very hard brush head can damage your gums if you tend to squeeze during brushing.

The difference between a manual and an electric toothbrush

One decision you will have to consider is whether to choose a manual or electric toothbrush. Each of these devices has its advantages, so you can weigh up their features to decide which one to choose. Generally speaking, an electric toothbrush can keep your mouth hygienically clean, but you will only have maximum control when brushing with a manual toothbrush.

Remember that, in addition to choosing the right toothbrush, it is important that you use the right technique to ensure optimal dental hygiene. Visit us at our dental clinic in Salou and we will help you to ensure that your smile is always perfect.
