FAQ
Does it matter what kind of toothbrush I use?
Yes. Choosing the right toothbrush can help prevent damage to your teeth and gums. Use an ADA-accepted toothbrush that has polished bristles, as they are less likely to injure gum tissue. Also use a size and shape that feels comfortable and allows you to reach the surfaces of every tooth. Replace your brush if the bristles become worn, splayed or frayed. A hard, brittle brush can injure your gums. Because children often chew on their brushes, they can become worn out more quickly.
