What different types of toothbrushes are available and the best for my child and me?

There are so many different kinds of toothbrushes to choose from in stores: everything from soft to hard manual brushes, spin brushes and even electric toothbrushes and sonic toothbrushes.  Not all toothbrushes are the same. First of all, always use a soft bristle brush as anything more than that can actually damage teeth and gums. Manual brushes require the most amount of work and concentration on the brusher’s part. The brusher must make a conscious effort to use small circular motions on all surfaces of the teeth. Spin brushes are great for people and kids adjusting to an electric toothbrush before moving to a sonic style brush. Usually a spin brush will remove more plaque and build-up than a manual toothbrush and it has an internal timer to make sure kids brush longer. However, the sonic toothbrushes are the best at removing plaque and staining from all teeth due to the microscopic sonic vibrations. Twice daily use of a sonic toothbrush can reduce your risk of gingivitis and cavities. Ask your dentist about the advanced care a sonic toothbrush can provide for you and your family.
