Whether you use an electric toothbrush (they do come equipped with a lot of perks) or a more traditional manual one, it’s important that it fits well in your hand so that you can maneuver it adeptly over the surfaces of your teeth, even the ones in the back that are harder to reach. Dental hygienists recommend using a soft bristle brush twice a day for a full 2 minutes at a time. Check those bristles for signs of fraying, they usually need to be switched out every 3-4 months.
