Some time after cleaning the oral cavity, plaque gradually accumulates on the surface of the teeth. This is due to the interaction of bacteria with food debris. To avoid such unpleasant consequences as caries, tartar and gum inflammation, you need to remove it in time. As you know, prevention is the best treatment, so timely oral care will save you from problems in the future. Professional toothbrushes will help to keep the smile snow-white and healthy for many years.
Differences between professional toothbrushes and regular toothbrushes
On the shelves of pharmacies and stores today are hundreds of toothbrushes. It is important to be able to choose the right model that will benefit and not harm. 5 functions that it should perform:
- plaque removal ;
- cleaning along the gum line;
- elimination of bad breath;
- acceleration of blood circulation and, accordingly, regeneration of microdamages;
- teeth whitening, more precisely, the removal of dark spots.
Carefully choose professional toothbrushes for people with delicate and sensitive gum skin. It is better to choose models with soft bristles, which eliminates the possibility of damage to the epidermis. Dentists recommend updating the brush at least once every 2-3 months. Firstly, the old brush loses its original properties and can no longer cope with its functions. Secondly, it accumulates microbes that can harm.
Distinctive qualities of a professional brush:
- As many bristles as possible.
- Both short and long hairs are present.
- Optimal size for cleaning the oral cavity of the cleaning head, allowing penetration even in hard to reach places.
- Soft bristles that do not hurt the gums.
- Effective cleansing and whitening.
