How to select a toothbrush?
Bristles are the most important consideration when buying a toothbrush. Choose soft nylon bristles, which will last long and not hurt gums even after vigorous brushing.
Select a brush head that is small enough to access hard-to-reach areas.
Keep in mind that there is no evidence that electronic toothbrushes work more effectively than conventional ones. However, people who are handicapped or who wear braces may prefer them.

•A brush should be replaced every 3 months or when the bristles start to wear, whichever comes first.
•A brush whose bristles show no sign of wear and tear even after 5-6 months indicates that the brushing is excessively gentle.
•Few brushes have been introduced which are color coded by a dye which fades and reminds the person to change his/her brush.
•An important aspect which most people are unaware of is replacing their toothbrush after cold , flu, sore throat or mouth infection. The microbes can accumulate on the brush leading to reinfection.
