Popular stereotypes when choosing a toothbrush
When choosing a toothbrush, it is important not to be under the sights of widespread stereotypes. One of these stereotypes is that the bristles of the toothbrush should only be rigid. However, it is worth knowing that the effectiveness of brushing teeth does not depend on what stiffness of the bristles. Moreover, an excessively rigid brush will begin to injure even the most gum-resistant gums. You can say even more - strong pressure on the toothbrush, is capable of damaging even tooth enamel.
Many of us think that the toothbrush head must be a large and sliced insertion, but this is far from being the case. The size of the head, although the bristles are very stiff or poor, does not matter.
Today, many prefer to choose goods from natural materials. And this is good. That's only a brush with natural bristles can cause a reproduction of microbes. This brush will have to be constantly processed and changed more often.
Conventional Toothbrushes
A classic, really good brush, should be soft, with a large presence of bristles, which will better cope with the bloom and not injure even the most sensitive gums.
Brush with rounded tips of bristles will take care of the safety of your teeth and gums.
Electric toothbrushes

Electric brushes in the mass, make in a minute not less than five thousand turns. But there are also instances that can make up to thirty thousand revolutions per minute. If we compare this number of revolutions with the number of movements by an ordinary brush, it turns out that even with the fastest cleaning, a person does not commit more than two hundred motions.
The electric brush will not only improve the cleaning process, but also make it more fun.
The right choice of brushes
The choice of electric toothbrushes in today's market is simply colossal. However, for a long time the leading positions are occupied by one of them - Oral-B. Manufacturers of brushes so thought out the mechanism of action, that it allows to make both rotational and pulsating movements simultaneously. Pulsating movements soften dental plaque, and the return-rotational movement is ideally removed. Such brushes are most effective for teeth whitening with bleaching pastes.
Practically in each such brush there is a timer that helps to control the cleaning process. Nozzles for this type of brush producing different: for teeth whitening, for sensitive teeth, for additional cleaning of the space between the teeth.
Ultrasonic toothbrushes
Ultrasonic toothbrush helped to develop a new technology for cleaning teeth. According to data published after scientific research, such a brush with a cheek copes with the dental plaque, and also improves blood circulation in the gums and without problems whitens tooth enamel.
The peculiarity of this brush is that due to the ultrasound effect, all bacteria die in the mouth. The vibrating bristles at this time sweep away the entire plaque, while simultaneously showing a curative effect on the enamel and gums.
It is believed that such a brush even helps to remove the stone and prevents inflammation of the oral cavity.
The frequency of the ultrasound of the electric brush is 1.6 micro-Hz, which does not pose any danger to humans, but it has a harmful effect on bacteria not only on the surface, but also under the gums at a depth of five millimeters.
Another positive characteristic of an ultrasonic toothbrush is a significant saving in brushing time. From now on it is only one and a half to two minutes. No less important point is the amount of toothpaste. For such a brush, the pasture is much less, and this is an additional saving. Moreover, you do not have to worry about brushing your teeth, because it directly depends on the brush that you use, and not on the efforts you put into it.
