 All of us love to save a buck. However, there are places it really doesn't pay to go cheap. One of those places where it might not be good to pinch pennies is on your toothbrush. We know, we've seen millions of toothbrushes all over the dollar stores- but with regard to your toothbrushes, cheaper may come at a cost to your oral health. Why Toothbrushes Are So ImportantToothbrushes are the most important tool we have for cleaning your teeth. First, toothbrushes help to clean any excess food away from your teeth, which helps to prevent bacteria from gaining a foothold. We want as little bacteria in your mouth as possible, because bacteria cause both tooth decay and gum disease.Brushing your teeth also helps to keep plaque off your teeth. Plaque is that film that settles over your teeth. If it hardens, it can cause tartar, which may cause an infection of your gums. Brushing your teeth keeps plaque at bay. Don't Be Cheap Researchers have noted that while toothbrush handles are roughly the same no matter how cheap or expensive your toothbrush is, the bristles are not. You need to find a toothbrush that is soft, so that it won't damage your teeth. Stiff bristles can actually cause more harm than good. It can even scrape off your tooth enamel, which you definitely don't want. Also, cheap toothbrush bristles are not durable, which means you may not be getting the kind of clean you were hoping for. The bristles have a better chance of coming apart on a cheaper toothbrush than they do with a more expensive one. Do you have questions about how to brush your teeth effectively? Give us a call today, and let us talk to you about how to make sure you are getting the best toothbrush possible for your mouth. Your teeth will thank you. |
