Below are toothbrush tips to ensure that Bridgeport Dentists families enjoy
a long, healthy dental life.
· Bridgeport Dentists recommends using a soft-bristled toothbrush
to removing plaque and debris from teeth.
· Bridgeport Dentists suggests small-headed toothbrushes to better
reach hard-to-reach teeth
· For toothbrush handles (non-slip grip or flexible neck), head shape
(tapered or rectangular), and toothbrush bristle style (rippled, flat or
trimmed to a dome shape), Bridgeport Dentists recommends choosing whatever
is most comfortable
· A powered toothbrush can clean better and is good for Bridgeport
Dentists patients having limited manual dexterity
· Bridgeport Dentists patients should replace toothbrushes at least
every three months, as soon as they begin to fray or during sickness. Frayed
toothbrushes can injure gum tissues and rub instead of brush, which wears
away teeth
· Rinse all plaque and food from the toothbrush after each use
· Bridgeport Dentists recommends placing toothbrushes in a dry area,
since wet and moist toothbrushes can allow bacteria growth
· Clean toothbrushes daily in antiseptic mouthwash to fight bacterial
growth
