Whether you’ve been completely dedicated to your smile’s health for a long time or if you have had a bit of a lazy spell with your oral health but have recommitted yourself to excellent care, there’s something that doesn’t change: Your toothbrush needs to meet some basic requirements in order to provide you with the successful plaque removal your teeth and gums need. So, to ensure your current status of “dedicated brusher” yields worthwhile dental hygiene sessions, we suggest you test your knowledge with a brush quiz.
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: The size of the toothbrush has no effect on the ability of the brush to remove plaque during dental hygiene sessions.
- True or False: The only type of bristles we ever suggest for you are firm.
- True or False: It’s very important that you choose a toothbrush that someone has recommended to you. Otherwise, it’s hard to know if it’s worth it.
Quiz Answers
- False. Think logically about the size of your toothbrush as you’re standing in the dental hygiene section of your drugstore. If it’s too big to reach all of your teeth, it will be ineffective. If it’s so small that it takes forever to clean your teeth, then it won’t be a very good purchase.
- False. The only bristles that should ever enter your shopping cart (or your mouth) are soft bristles. Avoid anything else to protect your smile.
- False. You can make an informed decision based on your needs, likes, and dislikes. If you need a recommendation, simply make sure the product has been accepted by the American Dental Association (a Seal of Acceptance will be on the packaging if so).
