Perhaps It’s Time to Upgrade Your Toothbrush this Spring?

April 5, 2018Richard GrubbOral Care at Home

Did you know that 31 percent of adults have tooth decay and 1-in-10 regularly forgets to brush their teeth?

It’s interesting to consider the causes of dental neglect. Is it more common for people to not understand the ramifications of not brushing your teeth twice each day, or is it that people are getting bored, and would rather do anything else than brush their teeth? If the latter is true, then upgrading your toothbrush may be just the thing to rekindle your love of the oral care experience. Explore some of the options for upgrading your toothbrush and see if any deserve a place on your bathroom sink.

Basic Toothbrushes are Fine – But Not as Fun

It’s important to realize that even a standard toothbrush which can be bought for less than a dollar is sufficient for properly cleaning your teeth. While fancier toothbrushes will boast about superior features, the truth is that a basic toothbrush can keep your mouth fresh and healthy just as well. The goal of upgrading your toothbrush is more to make it interesting and enjoyable, which will encourage you to not skip any oral care sessions.

Investing in a Better Toothbrush

While these innovative toothbrushes may not be necessary for a healthy smile, they can do a lot to spice up your bathroom decor and add enjoyment to your brushing experience. Consider these three examples of next-level toothbrushes to see which is right for you.

The Solar Powered Toothbrush

Who needs toothpaste? You don’t if you’re using the Soladey-3 Ionic SOLAR Toothbrush. Designed in Japan, this toothbrush uses solar power to eliminate the bacteria that cause plaque and decay. The Soladey-3 is proven to reduce the risk of gum disease, and the ionic action prevents plaque and biofilm from forming on your teeth. For a toothbrush that will surprise and amaze any who see it, the Soladey-3 is also extremely effective.

Highlights of the Soladey-3 Solar Toothbrush

  • Available for $19.99
  • No toothpaste required
  • Powered by any light source

The Rinser Squirting Toothbrush

One innovative toothbrush that has gotten a lot of attention is the Rinser Fountain Toothbrush by Amron. By simply holding the front part of the toothbrush under the faucet, the toothbrush shoots a steady stream of water upward out of a hole in the toothbrush. While this is cool and convenient, it’s also excellent for the environment because it eliminates the need for paper cups. Whether you appreciate the green-friendly aspect or the cool functionality, the Rinser is a toothbrush that will add some fun and convenience to your oral care routine.

  • Available for pre-order from Amron
  • Includes replacement brush heads
  • See the Rinser video that has over 750,000 views

The Soft Charcoal Toothbrush

For one of the sleekest looking toothbrushes on the market, the Soft Charcoal Toothbrush by Dental Expert looks extremely cool and won’t break your budget. Designed to remove 99% of plaque in the hardest-to-reach areas, the Soft Charcoal toothbrush is also surprisingly comfortable to grip. With a sleek black appearance and results to back it up, this may be the ideal addition to your oral care arsenal.

Highlights of the Soft Charcoal Toothbrush from Dental Expert

  • Great Value: Get a 5 pack for just $9.99
  • Sleek appearance with black bristles
  • Long bristles designed for hard-to-reach parts of your mouth

How Do You Improve Your Oral Care Routine?

Everyone has to brush their teeth, but some people find ways to make it a pleasurable experience that they look forward to twice each day. While brushing your teeth may never be your favorite activity, upgrading oral care tools such as your toothbrush can make the experience interesting and fun again. However you boost your brushing experience, remember that home care is no substitute for your biannual appointment – Contact Dr. Grubb if you’re ready to schedule your next one. We look forward to seeing you.
