| Did you know that, in
addition to your brushing technique, and the frequency
and time you spend brushing, experts believe that
the type of toothbrush you use will directly affect
how well you remove plaque.1 |
|
| How do I choose
the right toothbrush for me? |
| There is a lot of
choice when it comes to purchasing a toothbrush,
which makes it difficult to know what to look
for. A good starting point is to ask your dentist
and hygienist for a recommendation.
In addition, here are some tips on what to look
for: |
| |
 |
Choose a toothbrush
with a small brushhead and a bristle
design that helps you to get to the
hard-to-reach places of your mouth.
|
|
Your toothbrush
should have soft bristles that are gentle
on your teeth and gums. |
|
Pick a toothbrush
with a comfortable handle. Many have
non-slip grips which make them easy
to use even if wet |
|
| |
| Remember that regular
replacement of toothbrushes contributes to maintaining
a consistently high level of oral hygiene because
clinical research shows, a new toothbrush can
remove up to 30% more plaque than one that 's
three months old.2
Only Oral-B brushes feature Indicator® bristles
that fade halfway with use, telling you when it's
time to change your toothbrush. |
|
| I have seen
toothbrushes with angled bristles; are these any
better than straight ones? |
| Oral-B now has a number
of products that feature our unique CrissCross®
bristles. The bristles are designed to reach deep
between teeth to lift out and sweep away plaque
- even from the tough spots.
This pioneering design technology recognizes
that areas between the teeth are the hardest to
reach with a toothbrush. And so, the bristles
are angled to increase contact with tooth surfaces
between teeth. You can choose from our range of
CrossAction® toothbrushes - original CrossAction
and CrossAction
Vitalizer™ and
CrossActionŽ Power which have been thoroughly
researched and tested to offer highly effective
plaque removal and gum health benefits.
Not only that but all these products are designed
to make brushing comfortable and easy. The handles
on these products have been modeled from research
into the five different ways that people hold
their toothbrush while brushing. |
|
| I am interested in a power
toothbrush but am confused by the different models
- how do I choose? |
| With so many power
toothbrush types available it is often difficult
to select the right toothbrush. Now help is at
hand. A completely independent study has reviewed
all types and concluded "Brushes that worked with
a rotation oscillation action removed more plaque
and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual
brushes in the short and long-term....No other
powered brush designs were consistently superior..."3
Oral-B pioneered oscillating-rotating power technology
in 1991 and has incorporated it into its premium
power toothbrush range.

but at a more affordable price. |
