According to California Dental Insurance professionals, most of us hover over the shelves, picking up one brush then another. After some minutes we make a purchase, seemingly at random. When new patients are asked how they select a toothbrush, they usually say, ‘Oh, I choose any brush really, one that looks nice in its wrapper.’ A toothbrush is an important factor in preventing dental disease, especially gum problems. Therefore the purchaser should be quite specific when going into the shop. The dentist will tell you which brush is suitable for you. Write it down and ask for it. Do not be fooled off with something else ‘almost the same’ or try somewhere else! |
