Best toothbrushes 2022
The effectiveness of brushing your teeth depends on two factors: the first is how it is done, the second is how. The wrong brush can do a lot of harm. After all, they are like yogurts – not all are equally useful.

Tooth enamel is the hardest mineralized tissue in the human body. It is able to withstand chewing pressure, which is more than 70 kg per 1 sq. see But, despite the strength, it requires careful and systematic care. And here you need a reliable assistant – a toothbrush.

How to choose a toothbrush

When choosing, you need to focus on several parameters. It’s worth starting with the bristles, because this is the most important part of it.

Firstly, the bristles must be artificial and nothing else. The fact is that in natural there is a median canal – a cavity in which bacteria accumulate and multiply. As a result, this can lead to serious illnesses.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the level of stiffness of the bristles. This information is indicated on the packaging:

  • ultra soft;
  • soft (soft);
  • average (medium);
  • hard (hard).

The level of stiffness of the bristles determines the indications for use. For example, using an ultra-soft and soft brush is recommended for children, patients at the implantation stage (after surgery until the stitches are removed). But such recommendations are given by dentists, based on the characteristics of the oral cavity.

A brush of medium hardness should be used by everyone, even with fillings, prostheses, unless there are special recommendations from the doctor. By the way, bleeding gums is not an indication for replacing a medium-hard toothbrush with a soft one. This is just an indication to visit the dentist.

Brushes with hard bristles are designed for high-quality cleaning of dentures.

Thirdly, you need to pay attention to the number of bristles. The more of them, the better. The bristles should have rounded ends, otherwise the risk of injury to the gums and enamel increases.

Separately, it is worth talking about the presence of additional silicone inserts, which are designed to improve the quality of brushing your teeth. But not all dentists recognize the effectiveness of these inserts. They can be useful in the presence of orthopedic constructions, because they additionally polish the crowns, but reduce the quality of brushing the teeth.

In addition, you need to pay attention to the size of the working head, which should be about 2 – 3 cm. Larger brushes are inconvenient to use, and this reduces the effectiveness of brushing your teeth.

Popular questions and answers

The level of hygiene and, therefore, the likelihood of dental diseases also depends on the choice of toothbrush. Despite the fact that there is a lot of information on the Internet, some of it is not true, and following such recommendations will cause serious harm to health. The most popular and provocative questions will be answered dentist, implantologist and orthopedist, candidate of medical sciences, associate professor of the Department of Dentistry of the Central State Medical Academy Dina Solodkaya.

When are soft and hard toothbrushes used?

For all patients, I recommend using medium-hard brushes. It is this bristle that provides high-quality cleaning of all surfaces of the teeth and massage of the gums to stimulate blood circulation and prevent periodontal disease.

The use of soft brushes can be recommended for patients with severe hypersensitivity of the teeth, with erosions and pathological abrasion of the enamel, as well as after the introduction of implants and other operations in the oral cavity.

Hard brushes are not recommended for patients with natural teeth. They are recommended only for cleaning dentures, and then taking into account the material of manufacture and with strict observance of all cleaning rules. Otherwise, the probability of formation of microcracks on the surface of prostheses, where plaque accumulates, increases.

How to take care of your toothbrush?

It would seem a simple question, but it is here that you can notice the greatest number of errors on the part of patients. In order for the brush to work properly and not become a hotbed of “infection”, it is enough to follow simple rules:

Use only your brush. It is strictly forbidden to use other people’s toothbrushes, even people who are in close contact. The fact is that all diseases of the oral cavity are of a bacterial nature, and pathogenic bacteria can be transmitted with a brush. Consequently, the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease increases.

Store your brush properly. After brushing your teeth, the brush should be thoroughly rinsed under running water to remove food debris and foam. Store the brush in an upright position, with the working head up, preferably in a place with access to sunlight. It’s important to remember that each family member should keep their brush separate, so a “shared” glass is not the best option. In addition, studies show that with a combined bathroom, intestinal microflora is found on the surface of the toothbrush, which scatters with each flush of water in the toilet. To avoid these risks, special storage containers equipped with an ultraviolet lamp will help.

Do not use caps or cases. They are recommended only when traveling, they are not suitable for home storage, because you need a constant supply of fresh air. In such devices, the bristles do not dry out and this contributes to the growth and reproduction of bacterial flora on the surface of the brush. In addition, most of the pathogenic microflora is anaerobic, that is, oxygen is detrimental to them. And caps and brushes contribute to the prolongation of life and the reproduction of bacterial flora.

How often should you change your toothbrush for a new one?

On each package of the toothbrush, the service life is marked – 2 – 3 months. After the brush loses its cleaning ability and the quality of hygiene is reduced. Some brush models are equipped with an indicator: the bristles lose color as they wear.

Nevertheless, there are indications for replacing a toothbrush, regardless of the timing of its use:

● after an infectious disease – SARS, various stomatitis, etc.;

● if the bristles have lost their elasticity, shape and become like a washcloth.
