Oral hygiene is vital for a top-notch oral health, which means brushing is very important for your teeth, gums and smile. Unfortunately, brushing isn’t very effective if you have the wrong tools. So, our dentist, Dr. Rosendo Garza, would like to help you use the right tool for your smile by telling you how to choose the right toothbrush while you’re browsing the oral hygiene aisle at the store. The characteristics to look for in a toothbrush include:

-Soft bristles: Soft bristles can effectively clean the teeth without irritating or harming the gums. Many believe hard bristles can do this, but it’s not true. A soft-bristled toothbrush is the best for the smile.

-The American Dental Association Seal of Approval: This logo proves that the toothbrush is safe and effective in an oral hygiene routine. This is because the ADA examined it with rigorous tests. If it has this logo on the packaging, it’s one of the best products available.

-A non-slip grip: A non-slip grip handle can help you properly clean your teeth because it can give you the control you need to scrub plaque and other harmful substances away.
