What kind of toothbrush should I get?

Invest in a toothbrush with gentle bristles. Teeth and gums can be harmed by medium and firm ones. Two times a day, apply gentle pressure for two minutes.

Both electric and manual toothbrushes are effective in cleaning teeth. Mixed bristle lengths or tilted bristles on manual brushes clean more than flat, level bristles. If you have problems brushing your teeth with your hands, electric toothbrushes may be a better option.

Make a note in your calendar to change your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months. If the bristles appear crooked or fanned out, throw it out earlier. Bristles that are bent do not wash. They could also indicate that you're brushing too aggressively.
