Types of Toothbrushes

Toothbrushes have become an essential part of our lives. A simple tool when you choose to use a manual one, but a necessary one that keeps our teeth and gums healthy. Often when staying overnight or packing light, people still have to grab their toothbrush! Some people even keep two or three, one at home, one they keep in a bag in their vehicle, maybe even one at work. But there are a lot of different types of brushes, so whether you are looking for a wholesale bamboo toothbrush or something electric here is a look at the three main options.

Using electric toothbrushes

Electric toothbrushes are popular with a lot of people. Some think that their teeth are better cleaned by using electric types though that has not been proven. However, it has been found that both seniors and children clean their teeth better with an electric type because it is less physical effort for the more mature users and just plain fun for the younger!

The electric toothbrush has been around since the late 1930s when it was invented in Switzerland. They come in varying styles of rotation, some circular, some side to side, and have different shaped heads too. They are obviously more expensive than manual toothbrushes and you do have to still get new heads when the bristles are showing wear or after being ill, and buy batteries or remember to charge it.

Opting for a manual toothbrush

Manual toothbrushes are the most commonly used types. The first kinds came from China many years ago using swine hair for the bristles and animal bone. Today they are mostly nylon and plastic. But those looking to lessen their footprint on the planet are moving to a brush with bamboo, UK. That is great news, with a lifetime of using plastic toothbrushes meaning hundreds per person left in landfills, the more that move to bamboo the better off the planet is. Bamboo is renewable, grows fast and is natural. It does not release toxins when it degrades, and it degrades quickly. A wholesale bamboo toothbrush is easy to use, anti-bacterial and clean your teeth very well. As with any manual cleaning though you have to follow the two-minute rule.

Specialised toothbrushes

There are also specialised toothbrushes that use sonic waves to stimulate saliva. The idea behind these is that saliva lessens how much bacteria builds up in the mouth. It is the bacteria that form plaque and tartar. With more saliva, you get cleaner teeth. These also can have a two-minute timer already built-in so you are forced to clean for the recommended 2 minute period, as advised by dentists.

Summary

When it comes down to it, use the toothbrush you feel better with but in today's times, it is important to consider your choice as it impacts the world. Finding a brush with bamboo UK is a great choice. They clean just as well and do less damage to the planet.
