Tracy Dentist - Choosing a Tooth Brush - Smiles by Design in Livermore

There are so many toothbrushes on the market, what is the right choice?  Now days with all the different designs, colors, materials and attachments one never knows what to choose for their toothbrush. Guess what, the most important thing about your toothbrush is to use it at least 2-3 times a day.  Also, as equally important is how long you spend brushing your teeth. The design is secondary.

The Smiles by Design team recommends that you spend 2-3 minutes brushing 2-3 times a day. This ensures complete plaque removal especially in those hard to reach areas

Electric and manual toothbrushes

Our dental team highly recommends an electric toothbrush. The pulsations break up plaque efficiently. Many models now have timers to remind you to brush longer.

It is always nice to have a backup manual toothbrush. When choosing a manual toothbrush, look for a compact head with very soft, rounded bristles.
