Why We Should Brush Our Teeth Daily? 

Um, hygiene? Duh. But there’s also research saying that brushing your teeth regularly can help you maintain a healthier and happier life, because gum disease can contribute to mental decline. In short, you can get Alzheimer’s by skipping teeth-brushing. Oh, and also, tooth loss and inflamed gums—the list goes on, by the way. 

But really, do you want to get a bad impression with having a bad breath? Mouth is one of the most noticeable features on our face, it is vital for us to be taking care of our oral health, so no excuses. Even if we are stuck at home, with nowhere to go in this pandemic. Please brush your teeth. It’ll help you feel much better. 

How Often Should We Change Our Toothbrush? 

Not everyone in this world practices this, but you should change your toothbrushes every 3-4 months according to the dentist. Some people waited until their toothbrush didn’t even look like a toothbrush anymore. You know those people who only change their essentials once in every six months? Yeah, don’t be that 1% of the population. Always check the bristles’ sides, if they are frayed, it’s time to let go. 

And no matter how often you change your toothbrush, always keep them clean. Make sure you place your toothbrush in an upright position and in an open area to allow them to dry. Storing something moist in a closed compartment can lead to clumping, thus promoting bacterial growth. And you don’t want any bacterial elements getting inside your mouth, right? 

Normal Brushes Vs. Electronic Brushes

Before we dive in on the best toothbrush available in the market, let’s get to know the model that suits your dental needs. Currently, there are two types of toothbrushes to consider in Singapore: the normal one and the electronic one. The normal toothbrush is ready to use out of the packet one. You have the control over the pressure you put on your teeth. 

An electric toothbrush, however, requires charging and is a little bit troublesome to carry and take care of. But the good thing is that their bristles make it easier to clean in between your teeth. Some electronic brushes also came in handy censors for you to choose the speed of your choice.
