We all know a toothbrush helps to freshen our breath and keep cavities at bay, but it never hurts to learn a bit more about this daily oral health tool!
- Whether you’ve got an electric or manual toothbrush, it’s best to opt for a soft head as hard bristles can do more harm than good.
- It doesn’t matter whether you brush or floss first. It just matters that you do both!
- Sharing is nice—but not when it comes to your toothbrush. If you do, you could be spreading bacteria and germs.
- The first toothbrush dates back centuries. Even ancient civilisations used something known as a “chew stick” to get food out of their teeth.
- Your toothbrush prefers to be left in the open instead of stored in an airtight container. This way, it can dry instead of being kept wet, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
