How long have you been relying on the same toothbrush to clean your smile? If your dental hygiene has included the same brush for a period that has lasted longer than three to four months, it is time to part ways with your brush and start fresh. You may purchase the same variety if you were enjoying its benefits. Just make sure you continue to replace your brush in intervals of about three months to ensure your brush is providing you with the plaque removal and effective care you need.
If your brush is not too old or frayed, you’re already doing a great job. However, it is certainly important to consider some factors that can make for better oral health. For instance, this part of your dental hygiene experience should include a gentle instrument that cleanses without scraping your enamel. You can accomplish this by dedicating yourself to purchasing soft-bristle brushes and always avoiding medium- or hard- bristle selections. You will also want to pay attention to the following:
