According to the ADA, the right toothbrush should be soft-bristled, not medium and not hard. “A hard bristled brush may feel like you’re getting your teeth cleaner, but it’s actually doing quite a bit of abrasion and abrading the enamel off,” says Dr. Burnett. A soft bristled brush is also less likely to damage the gums.
The most important thing when it comes to toothbrushes is to make sure you keep an eye on the life span. Once the bristles start to separate, you should definitely get a new one, roughly around every three months, recommends the ADA.
Electric toothbrushes can also be a great option. “If you look at the research, they tend to clean teeth better and a lot of them have a built-in two-minute timer so you get the benefit of brushing for the full two minutes,” says Dr. Burnett.
