1. Whether the toothbrush should use soft or hard bristles depends on the individual's teeth and gums, mainly gums. Some people's gums bleed easily. Don't use bristles. Because it is easy to make the gums bleed, although the toothbrush looks like it is brushing the teeth, gum health is the key to oral health, so the choice of soft or hard bristles varies from person to person. Toothbrush is better with soft bristles or hard bristles, but how to choose a toothpaste toothbrush? It is recommended that the bristles are too hard, which can easily lead to symptoms such as gum recession, wedge-shaped defects in the tooth neck, and bleeding gums; the bristles are too soft to clean the tooth surface.. So choose a toothbrush with moderate hardness.
Those who smoke or are prone to deposit calculus should choose a medium-hard toothbrush; the elderly or patients with periodontal disease should choose a soft toothbrush to protect the periodontal tissue; the bristles of children's toothbrushes are softer than those of adults and are generally only suitable for children. The ends of the bristle bundles should be rounded and smooth, so as to effectively eliminate dental plaque and avoid damage to the gum tissue. When selecting, you cannot feel the hardness of the bristles by touching the plastic packaging of the toothbrush with your hands. You can see the hardness information by observing the bristles: a soft-bristled toothbrush with uneven bristles and a hard-bristled toothbrush with regular bristles.
2. Is it necessary to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes for babies? This depends on the baby's developmental status. Generally, babies over 3 years old start to use toothbrushes, but the age group of 0-6 years old is generally better to use soft bristles . Because the babies' gums and gums are not well developed at this time, hard buying is prone to injury and bleeding.
