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!
1. 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.
2. It doesn’t matter whether you brush or floss first. It just matters that you do both!
3. Sharing is nice—but not when it comes to your toothbrush. If you do, you could be spreading bacteria and germs.
4. The first toothbrush dates back centuries. Even ancient civilizations used something known as a “chew stick” to get food out of their teeth.
5. 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.
