Oral health will give you confidence while you smile, open doors for you and allow you to bite of the best delicacies of the world. Brushing your teeth is one of the ways to maintain good oral hygiene. It comes with knowing how to select, use and maintain your brush. Here are professional dental brush tips to consider in order to maintain perfect oral health.

Brushes chosen and used should be comfortable to your mouth and hands. Experts insist that if you find trouble holding your toothbrush or inserting it into your mouth, cleaning will be a problem. There are brushes for children and adults and you must make the right choice. The nature of bristles will also determine whether it is appropriate or not.

The brushes chosen should have soft bristles. Some people feel comfortable using hard bristles because it appears as though they will clean your teeth better. The challenge is that they are likely to harm your gums. When they are too soft or too hard, they might not get to certain parts of your teeth. The correct bristles will reach all corners and in between the teeth, giving you a thorough cleaning.

The size of the mouth also makes a brush appropriate or not. Unknown to many people, there are large, medium and small sized brushes. It does not mean that the small sized brushes are for use by children. Measure the size of your mouth by that of your fist. If it is big, you buy a large size brush. If it is small, use the small size one. A small one will fail to get to all corners while the big one is cumbersome.

Whether you are using a powered or manual brush, it must be easy to use. None cleans your teeth better than the other. It is a matter of comfort and knowing how to use it. Each comes with instructions that guide you on how to use it. This means that you should not find brushing problematic whether you are using a manual or automated one.

Oral hygiene is enhanced when your brushing is done in the right way. The recommended frequency is twice a day, but where possible, after every meal. Use mouth wash if brushing is impossible or inconvenient. However, dedicate 3-5 minutes every day for thorough brushing using quality toothpaste. This allows you to cover all corners.

Clean the tongue and gums thoroughly in order to maintain good oral hygiene. Failure to clean them leaves your mouth with debris which harbors tooth decay microorganisms. Avoid hard bristled toothbrushes because they may damage the gums and tongue. Soft bristles will also fail to get to all corners. Choose brushes according to the recommendation of dentists and health experts.

The toothbrush should be cleaned properly and stored in a dry place after use. Clean it and remove all the water that may remain to avoid buildup of microorganisms. It is these microorganisms that act on your teeth once you are done with cleaning. Toothbrushes need replacement every three to four months because the bristles have already weakened. This makes the ineffective to the point of failing to clean your mouth as desired.
