Most people think that the only times you visit your dentist are for root canals, dental crowns, and teeth cleaning, but your dentist can also help you with preventative measures. You can avoid more serious procedures by working with your dentist to keep your teeth healthy before decay ever sets in. Your toothbrush is your first defender against tooth decay and cavities, so one of the best ways to begin your preventative care is by choosing the best toothbrush. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a toothbrush:

  • Bristle Size: Smaller bristles help you reach places that might go untouched by bigger bristles. With smaller bristles, you have a better chance of making sure your teeth are as clean as they can be.
  • Brush Head Size: Just like with bristle size, a smaller toothbrush head is better. Toothbrushes with smaller heads are more agile and able to reach those often forgotten places that are so important.
  • Handle: It's important to make sure that your toothbrush has a handle that is comfortable for your hand so that you can brush for the full two minutes. Many toothbrushes are now made with non-slip grips so that the handle can fit comfortably in your hand when wet.
