Suitable toothbrushes for daily care
A toothbrush is part of the basic equipment in every bathroom. It should also be in your toothbrush and toothpaste travel case when travelling. It accompanies us at the start of the day and just before going to bed.
Toothpaste and toothbrushes are substitute goods which you have to take care of it also in terms of storage. There are special toothbrush and toothpaste holders where you can keep your toothpaste and toothbrush safe.
A toothbrush should always have as small a brush head as possible so that even hard-to-reach areas can be cleaned well. To protect tooth enamel and gums, the nylon bristles should be rounded.
Daily brushing removes plaque from the tooth surfaces, which can otherwise harden into tartar. But not all toothbrushes are the same. From "analogue", to electric, to sonic technology, there is a wide variety available to you.
Use a toothbrush with the right toothpaste
The right toothpaste is the ideal complement to daily oral hygiene with a toothbrush. One of the main components of toothpaste is cleaning agents, which additionally support the mechanical cleaning of the toothbrush.
Fluoride is a decisive factor in toothpaste. This supports the remineralization and hardening of tooth enamel. When caring for children's teeth, special children's toothpaste with a lower fluoride content should be preferred.
It is better to avoid whitening toothpaste or do not use it regularly. The abrasive particles they contain can have a highly abrasive effect and cause lasting damage to the tooth enamel.
