– Keep your toothbrush clean when not in use.
– Electric toothbrushes make brushing easier.
– Don’t share toothbrushes.
– Store your toothbrush upright.
– Visit your dentist every six months for an oral exam and professional cleaning.
– Make sure the size and shape of your brush can reach all areas in your mouth effectively.
– Keep your toothbrush aired out; do not consistently store them in closed containers.
– Be gentle and don’t press hard. A softer, gentler approach works best.
– Stiff bristles can hurt gums, softer brushes are better.
