Toothbrushes

The toothbrush is rarely thought about what a particular design, or that the bristles, stiffness, shape handles and other details can somehow affect the health. Dentists with this fundamentally disagree. This article is about what are toothbrushes and how to pick out this useful little thing.

Today toothbrushes are subject to mandatory certification in several ways. First, there is rigidity. There are brushes hard (hard), of medium hardness (medium) and soft (soft). Some companies produce a very soft brush (extra soft). Hard brushes can be used for those who believe in their strong gums. It is these brushes provide the most powerful massage the gums. As for the cleaning bristles force, then it depends on the hardness of a lesser degree. Soft and very soft toothbrush should be preferred in the case of frequent bleeding gums, so as not to injure the addition of the already traumatized gums. Medium hard brush as if specially designed for those who doubt what to choose.

The second thing worth noting is the bristles. Today, dentists are unanimous in the opinion of the worst natural ingredients, that is, the pig bristles. Typically, this type of bristle tends to leave his cell in the head of the brush well before end of the first dental cleaning. Incidentally, the stubble, which fell into the gastrointestinal tract, once even accused of occurrence of appendicitis. At one time, pathologists in the study of the appendix are remote because the bristles often find that surgeons have to worry about, not a tooth brush to blame for the occurrence of acute appendicitis. Scientific disputes resolved after epidemiological data have shown that appendicitis sick and those who do not clean their teeth.

Modern materials of construction for the brush, in contrast to their natural families is not stratified, do not leave their place and they rarely infest microbes. In addition, modern technology has enabled to make the indicator bristles. So in some models use a special paint brushes, which are gradually disappearing, the owner indicates that it is time to go to the store or pharmacy to purchase a new copy.

Stubble should be neatly trimmed, and is close to the edge of the plastic head. "Shaggy" instances should cause concern for the trade origin of the brush. Brushes with a two-level "haircut" (interdental) bristles are more cleaning power with respect to interdental spaces. It is in these areas almost half of the caries.

Third, we should pay attention to the design of the brush. Placed on the non-slip rubber sockets in his hands, thereby preventing gum injury in the intensive movements of hands and the morning of inhibition of the central nervous system. Reduce pressure on the gums helps bend the brush - "Snake" or "ball", which are far from the cleaning surface. Sometimes manufacturers have resorted to a lengthening of the handle to reduce the pressure on the gums.

As to the form, you should choose "rounded" shape, because they have less chance of damage to the mucosa of the mouth. Size can be selected in terms of the oral cavity. If you're brushing your teeth feel in the mouth is not nearly the place, you should get a smaller brush. Cleaning the head should not be large, otherwise the cleaning efficiency is reduced.

Mechanical brush, according to dentists, designed for the lazy. They can buy, if it allows your family (or non-family) budget.
