Toothpaste and Toothbrush Tips

If you brush your teeth twice a day, for two minutes every day, that means that you brush your teeth 28 minutes a week and 24 hours a year. That’s an entire day of brushing your teeth every year! Obviously, you spend a lot of time with your toothbrush and toothpaste, which is why it is important to make sure you have the right ones.

Toothpaste Tips

For most patients, normal toothpaste that is approved by the ADA work thoroughly and efficiently. There are various kinds of toothpaste, though, that serve specific purposes. Smokers toothpaste combats stains from smoking (a practice we strongly discourage), but this kind of toothpaste can sometimes degrade your teeth if used for a long period of time. Hypersensitivity toothpaste can relieve pain from brushing and everyday activity. There is also whitening toothpaste that makes your teeth look brighter for cosmetic purposes.

Tooth Brush Tips

The ADA recommends using toothbrushes that are soft-bristled and wide. This kind of toothbrush works its way into the crevices of your teeth, fully eliminating resistant plaque. Electric toothbrushes are great at giving your teeth the fullest clean.
