Toothbrushes are handy tools that can help you clean your teeth and gums each and every day. They can also help you have a top-notch oral health and a successful as well as beautiful smile. To help you know more about this handy tool, our dentist, Dr. Emanuel Amato, is happy to share some toothbrush facts. Those facts are:
-It’s best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth. This is because it cleans the teeth and avoids irritating and harming the gums.
-The first toothbrushes that were made had animal hairs for bristles.
-Don’t share your toothbrush with anyone. Sharing can swap oral bacteria, saliva, and even blood from the gums, which can promote dental and health issues.
-It’s best to brush your teeth every morning and night for two minutes each time.
-Electric and manual toothbrushes both effectively clean the smile. When choosing between the two tools, your preference is all that matters.
-The toothbrush was chosen as the No. 1 invention Americans couldn’t live without in 2003.
-The first electric toothbrush was invented in Switzerland in 1954.
-In the past, toothbrushes that were made with badger hair were more expensive than toothbrushes that were made with pig hair.
