Some of the important factors for a good brushing is the choice of an appropriate toothbrush. If we choose a hard brush, too large or uncomfortable for the child, the toilet will be incomplete and the possibility of having caries teeth or spots increase.
For a correct choice of toothbrush is important to consider the following tips.
* The toothbrush should be small, this would facilitate better movement within the mouth.
* The toothbrush bristles should be soft and flexible. A brush bristle small but hard can hurt both the gums and teeth.
* We recommend having a round head and square head that are more difficult to reach all corners of the mouth.
* The handle of the toothbrush is better if the rubber is soft or rather, to facilitate the grip of it.
* This brush must be replaced every 3 months or sooner if you look very worn.
