What are the precautions for selecting children’s toothbrush?
Toothbrushes for children under 6 years of age should be used. Imported toothbrushes are expensive and difficult for ordinary families to accept. Domestic health toothbrushes are affordable and some are of good quality. When buying, you should choose roughly, first look at the toothbrush head, its size should be moderate, can rotate flexibly in the mouth; the brush head has 2-3 rows of hair bundles, each row consists of 4-6 bundles, there are certain hair bundles Distance, easy to clean and ventilate; the hair quality should be soft, the tip of each bristles should be rounded to be round and blunt. The unrounded bristles are not good for teeth and dental caries.
In short, we should choose according to the following principles:
1. Soft bristles: Generally, the bristles of toothbrushes have three levels of flexibility: soft, medium and hard. The toothbrush used for the child must be a soft filament toothbrush, because the child’s teeth and gums are relatively soft and easily hurt.
2. Small head: The brush head of the toothbrush selected for the child must be small, which can move up and down in the child's small mouth flexibly, so that every small position can be brushed.
3. Thick handle: The small hand of the child is not flexible enough, and the handle that is too thin is not easy for the child to grasp.
4. Cleaning: The toothbrush must be cleaned promptly and thoroughly after it is used up, otherwise a lot of bacteria will remain on the toothbrush after a period of use.
5. Update: Toothbrushes are generally replaced every 3 months. If the bristles are bent or fall off, replace the toothbrush immediately.
