Is my toothbrush good?

A toothbrush is a small brush with a long handle that is used to clean teeth. It was first mass-produced by William Addis in England. For most people, a soft-bristled toothbrush will be the most comfortable and safest choice. A medium to the hard-bristled toothbrush could be traumatic to the gum and increase the rate at which tooth enamel surfaces are rubbed off. The handle of a good toothbrush should be able to withstand normal use. Regular and correct tooth brushing reduces plaque build-up and gum disease in their early stages. Electric toothbrushes cost more than manual types. Some people don’t like the vibratory feeling of an electric toothbrush while others find it easier to use. Vigorous toothbrushing can damage one’s teeth and gum. A powered toothbrush may make it easier for you to be gentle on your teeth and gum and also get them cleaned at the same time. There is no significant difference in effectiveness when using an electric or a manual toothbrush in their ability to remove plaque and prevent gum diseases. A toothbrush should be replaced when the bristles are no longer even when viewed horizontally at the level of one’s eyes.
