At Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces we encourage our patients to change toothbrushes every 3 months or when the bristles are worn down. If your bristles are worn down and hardened, your teeth are not being cleaned effectively even with toothpaste.
When it comes to the best toothbrush for your teeth, it all depends on how well you brush and how effectively. If you brush for a full two minutes using toothpaste, that is the most important thing. For patients whose teeth need to be cleaned more thoroughly, we encourage them to use an electric toothbrush to reach the plaque that is difficult with a normal toothbrush.
While electric toothbrushes can be expensive, studies have shown people to receive better results from cleaning with an electric toothbrush as opposed to a traditional toothbrush. During your next visit with us, we can recommend the best toothbrush for your teeth.
Regardless of the toothbrush you use, remember to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for the cleanest tooth possible.
To schedule an appointment, please visit one of the Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces offices located around the Phoenix area, or visit our website or call our offices.
