Toothbrush: how to choose the ideal model?

Toothbrush: how to choose the ideal model?

Brushing your teeth is an ancestral custom. Ancient civilizations used twigs after meals, slowly rubbing their teeth to clean them. The toothbrushes we know today were only created in 1930 and became really known after World War II - and thereafter there was a popularization of the product. According to the Brazilian Association of Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics (Abihpec), the demand for the toothbrush market has been increasing steadily over the years.

But what is the ideal brush? Is it the most recommended by dentists?

After much studying, and testing, I go back to the old maxim: the less is more. The best brush is the simplest. During brushing, the main actress is the brush that promotes the mechanical removal of plaque adhered to the dental surface. The toothbrush deforms and breaks this plaque on each tooth, so it must have a size that wipes from one to two teeth at a time and allows access to the bottom teeth with the same effectiveness. Therefore, it is not the size of the arch or mouth that interferes with the choice of brush size. The ideal, in fact, would be the use of a small head brush, similar to the child's brush, for all people.

Another important point is that the brush has soft and homogeneous bristles, that is, all of the same size and with rounded finish. This allows cleaning without damaging the tissues around the teeth, scratching the dental structures or causing gingival retraction, leaving the root of the tooth exposed and sensitive to stimuli such as cold, hot, sweet or salty foods. provide a good grip, which guarantees the correct execution of the movements. The tongue can be cleaned with your own brush or with your own plastic cleaners best suited for this purpose.

Electric brushes are a good option only for those who have motor difficulties. In the case of people without motor problems, they should not be used so that the person does not lose the brushing ability.

How to conserve the brush?

To keep your toothbrush clean and away from germs, the correct one is wash it with running water, remove excess water, sprinkle 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution on the brush and store it. Another important thing to note is the right time to change brushes. This should occur whenever the bristles are bent and kneaded, or up to a maximum of three months of use. This change is fundamental because as the brush is used, the bristles undergo the fatigue process and fail to perform their activity efficiently. In addition, it is very important to change the brush after a flu or contagious disease, to reduce the risk of new infection through the germs that adhere to the bristles.
