Choosing the correct type of toothbrush is important
as it will make brushing easier and more effective.
Certain areas of the mouth are more prone to collecting
plaque and calculus.
This includes the area below the lower incisors which
are constantly being washed by the ducts of the salivary
glands under the tongue.
A fluoride toothpaste will help prevent tooth decay
and freshen the mouth.
When buying a toothbrush you should consider
the following factors;
Toothbrushes with small heads are better as they can
reach difficult areas at the back of the mouth and between
the tongue and molar teeth.
Some toothbrushes have bristles that stick out in
different directions.These help to remove more plaque.
After three months of use the bristles become less
effective.At this time it is best to change the brush.
The toothbrush should be held
at 45 degrees to the tooth and moved in a circular
motion gently.Clean just a few teeth at a time
for maximum cleaning effect
