Claremont Dental Studio is frequently asked how to select the most fundamental tool of oral care, the toothbrush. Choosing a toothbrush can be as difficult as choosing a paint color, and there appear to be an equal number of options.

You know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever gone to the dental area of your local supermarket. Brushes with different length bristles, brushes that massage your gums, and brushes that change color when they’re used up are all available.

 

Choosing a Child’s Toothbrush

If you’re buying a toothbrush for a child, ensure sure it fits comfortably in his or her hand. If the child finds the size and angle uncomfortable, he or she will be less likely to use it for long enough to clean all areas of the mouth. A toothbrush designed for children is not required. Some children are better suited to an adult-sized brush than a small, thin child-size brush. If you have any doubts, consult your dentist.

Is your child brushing with the right toothbrush and technique? To discover out, schedule an appointment at Claremont Dental Studio. Our exceptional dental hygienists at Just for Kids Dental assist patients of all ages in learning effective brushing practices.

 

Firm Bristles Should Be Avoided

The hardness of the bristles is an important element. For cleaning burnt meat from a grill or hard water deposits from a shower floor, hard bristles may be more effective. This is not the case with your teeth, however. Brushes with a medium or strong bristle can harm your gums. Bristles that are soft and extra-soft are stiff enough to remove plaque, food particles, and surface stains from your teeth. For hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, soft bristles provide extra flexibility.

 

Make a Dental Cleaning Appointment

If plaque has solidified into calculus on your teeth, you should schedule a dental cleaning. A toothbrush with a stiff bristle won’t be able to securely remove it. Gum disease can be avoided with a dental cleaning. In addition, your teeth will feel great!
