Whether it be a manual or electric toothbrush, the principals are the same... just one is more effective.
How long should I brush for?
Dentists recommend brushing for at least 2 minutes, twice a day. Brushing for longer and more frequently doesn't mean you get cleaner teeth. It could actually damage the enamel which is the protective film over the teeth.
A good way to break this up is spend 30 seconds on each quadrant of your mouth. So 30 seconds on the top left, then 30 seconds on the top right, followed up with 30 seconds on the bottom left and finally 30 seconds on the bottom right. Dont forget that only means 10 seconds on the front of the teeth, 10 seconds on base and 10 seconds on the back for each quadrant.
When you think of it like that, it's not a lot of time to get those pearly whites sparkling is it.
What toothbrush head should I use?
There are thousands of choices out there. We have designed ours to give you a whiter smile, but its your choice what ever works best for you.
Our brush heads are designed to remove discolourations on the enamel. Our brush head bristles remove stubborn stains from the surface of the teeth including stains from drinking coffee, tea and red wine.
Our brush heads, as do many others discolour overtime, so if you see your toothbrush head is starting to look a little pale, its probably time to replace it. We recommend replacing your toothbrush heads every 2-3 months to maintain optimal cleaning.
Other options can be to help limit friction on the gums with softer bristles right through to firm bristles that make you feel like you've just left the hygienist.
What toothpaste should I use?
As with toothbrush heads, there are thousands of choices out there. Most of us will get what ever is on offer at the supermarket, however its really important to find a toothpaste that meets your oral hygiene goals.
Options of toothpaste might include:
- Whitening
- Building up enamel
- Bad breath
- Sensitivity
- Natural/ Organic
- Charcoal
Its important to find one you like, enjoy using and gets you the best results.
