No use: a doctor told which toothbrushes you shouldn’t buy – they harm your teeth and gums
There are many different types of toothbrushes available today.
But not all of them are equally beneficial for the health of teeth and gums.
Dentist Yuliana Romanova, as reported by Doctor Peter , explained what to pay attention to when choosing a toothbrush.
The specialist pointed out that the task of the brushes in this case is to clean the surface of the teeth.
However, not all of them can do this effectively enough.
Speaking about classic brushes, the expert noted that you need to monitor the length of the bristles.
In this case, they should be the same. It is also important that the brush is sufficiently "thick".
It is emphasized that various irregularities and protrusions can harm teeth.
In addition, the expert advises to avoid hard brushes.
She explained that in such a situation they can erase the enamel structure. And this is fraught with increased sensitivity of teeth.
Therefore, according to the specialist, it is better to give preference to brushes with medium hardness.
And if you have some problems with your gums, you can choose a soft brush.
In addition, the doctor noted that ultrasonic or electric brushes can be used. But their effectiveness in this case will be questionable.
Earlier, the doctor spoke about a common mistake when brushing teeth, which reduces the effect to a minimum.
