Too large, too thick, too hard - these are the main characteristics of most toothbrushes. This also applies to the frequently recommended medium-hard toothbrushes as well as to many children's toothbrushes.
Make sure you check the bristles (soft) and, in particular, the bristle area (small). Use an ultra soft toothbrush with a small head of 2 cm length and/or a soft single-tuft toothbrush.
The main task of the toothbrush is to remove plaque, i.e. to destroy the structure of this biofilm that has grown and thus to render the mass of plaque safe. One hundred per cent removal of plaque is not possible or desirable because a sterile mouth would be extremely unhealthy. Only relatively thick and old layers of bacteria cause caries and gum inflammations.
Start: Hold the toothbrush at an angle to the gum. One half of the brush area covers the gum while the other half rests on the surfaces of the teeth.
With fine, circular movements and little pressure, the brush is slowly drawn along the row of teeth until it reaches the very back.
After cleaning the other outer half of the lower jaw, the inner surfaces are now cleaned.
The CS toothbrushes' wide head is particularly suited to vertically cleaning areas that are difficult to reach.
The benefits of the wide brush are particularly apparent when cleaning the rear surfaces of the molars at the back.
The narrow areas of the lower jaw can also be cleaned perfectly with the special brush head of a Curaprox Sensitive toothbrush.
