If you are thinking about buying a new toothbrush, then you need to make sure that the one you are choosing is suited to your needs. If you don’t, then you may find that your teeth don’t get as clean as they could and this will cause you major issues. If you want some more advice then simply take a look below.

What are the Different Bristle Types?

Usually, there are three different types of bristles. You have extra soft, soft and then finally medium-soft. Hard bristles are often called firm bristles and they are most commonly found in specialist stores. The reason why you won’t usually find this type of brush is because they can be harsh on the teeth. You should only use them if you know that you are going to need it, with the plaque that you have.

Soft or Hard Bristles?

Toothbrushes were invented hundreds of years ago. People often used twigs and even animal hair for the bristles, but now we have way better ways of doing things. In this day and age, there are truly many different options. Some of them include soft bristles, hard bristles and more. If you want to learn more about the bristle options that are available or if you want to be able to distinguish between the two then you should know that most Canadian stores will stock medium brushes. Your local Brampton dental clinic will probably advise that you go with this option unless you experience gum irritation from bristles that are too hard.

What to Think about when Choosing a Toothbrush

When you are choosing a toothbrush, you need to think about bristle firmness. You also need to think about the angle of the bristles and the number of layers as well. Of course, thinking about which one is best, whether it is soft or hard is also important. Most dentists will recommend that you opt for soft if possible, purely because if you go with one that applies too much pressure then this can negatively impact your tooth enamel. The ADA recommends using a soft-bristled brush that comes with an angle if possible. Ideally, you should be using toothbrushes that are flat. Multiple layers on the bristles are also very helpful so keep that in mind.

How do you Choose?

You have to make sure that you choose a toothbrush that is both easy and comfortable for you to use. You need to use it twice a day as well. If you want, you can opt for an electric toothbrush as this will help you to clean your teeth way better. If you tend to brush hard against your teeth though then make sure that you opt for soft bristles. More pressure never equals cleaner teeth, in fact, it can cause gum loss. If you want to get around this as a hard brusher then opt for an electric toothbrush as it will make it easier for you to avoid putting too much pressure on your teeth.
