How do you know a good toothbrush?
A dentist announced that the most harmful toothbrushes are the natural, hard and different bristles.
In an interview with Gazeta.Ru, Russian dentist Ilya Sklyarov points out that “No matter how strange it is, not everything that is natural is equally beneficial. For example, in the case of toothbrushes, a large amount of bacteria collects on the natural bristles used to make them.
Also, cleaning a brush made of natural bristles from these bacteria is not easy. In addition, this brush wears out quickly and the bristles fall out and become unusable.”
Dental tip: Brush at least twice a day.
The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums. pic.twitter.com/9iYg3FFKI0

Sklyarov recommends choosing a toothbrush with synthetic bristles, taking into account its size. It should not be too small or too big. The bristles should not be spaced apart, because this reduces their effectiveness in cleaning the teeth, or they have hard bristles, so as not to damage the gums and tooth enamel.
The doctor stresses that the bristles of the toothbrush should be of the same level and not of different levels.
He says, “Manufacturers of oral hygiene products for a long time have produced many different types of brushes with bristles of different heights, claiming that these bristles clean hard-to-reach places better. But it turns out that the smooth and thick bristles are able to clean all surfaces of the teeth. High quality. Because in this case, all the bristles are involved in the brushing process.”
