Are You Using the Right Toothpaste or Toothbrush?
4

• Experts believe that the effectiveness of tooth
  brushing greatly depends on the length of time
  you are doing it, how often and what products you
  use to perform your daily oral care regimen.

5

• It is only sensible to learn what the differences
  between the toothbrushes and toothpastes are and
  how well you can remove plaque, tartar and debris
  by using them.

6
Types of Toothbrushes
MANUAL
7

• Basic manual devices with a plastic handle and
  nylon bristles of various sizes and levels of
  softness.

8

• It is the most common type of toothbrush, and it
  does not require any external power sources.

9

• It should be replaced every 2-3 months as the
  bristles fan out and wear down with constant use.

10

• It is least costly, but it requires good manual
  dexterity and sufficient time to properly remove
  the plaque.

11
Types of Toothbrushes
BATTERY POWERED
12

• Similar in design, battery powered toothbrushes
  are charged with AA batteries and operate with
  just enough power to add to the effectiveness of
  tooth cleaning.

13

• They are typically set to one level of vibrations
  which diminish as the battery loses its energy
  over time.

14

• The batteries have to be periodically replaced
  adding to the cost of maintenance.

15
Types of Toothbrushes
RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC
16

• The most costly choice, but also the most
  effective as the different settings allow you to
  use it according to the need.

17

• The battery is rechargeable at any electrical
  outlet.

18

• This type of toothbrush removes almost all debris
  and easily penetrates pits, fissures and crevices
  on all dental surfaces as well as the tongue.

19
Types of TOOTHPASTES
20

• Cosmetic dentists and other dental professionals
  recommend using the type of toothpaste that
  matches your oral habits.

21

• For those who consume spicy foods,
  stain-promoting drinks, such as coffee, tea and
  wine, baking soda-based toothpastes may be the
  correct choice.

22

• The most common choices are the toothpastes with
  the following properties

23

• TOOTH ENAMEL STRENGTH

Helpful for patients with genetic weakness of
enamel leading to frequent cavities.
24

• TOOTH ENAMEL STRENGTH

Special ingredients shield the enamel from acid
contained in drinks and foods and typically
provide-12-hour protection.
25

• TOOTH ENAMEL STRENGTH

Liquid calcium is typically one of the
components, and it helps to protect the enamel
from further erosion.
26

• SENSITIVITY PROTECTION

This type of product is perfect for patient who
experience ongoing sensitivity due to hot or cold
foods and beverages.
27

• SENSITIVITY PROTECTION

The toothpaste creates a protective barrier and
lowers the levels of discomfort.
28

• WHITENING

Perhaps most popular choice of toothpaste today,
this product often combines the whitening
components along with breath freshening agents.
29

• WHITENING

Most toothpastes of this kind have to be
re-applied frequently to see any visible results
and are used to remove surface stains only.
30

• WHITENING

Whitening toothpastes do not change the hue of
the enamel.
31

• WHITENING

Many of whitening toothpastes are manufactured
with natural products without the use of
artificial flavors, coloring or extracts.
32

• The rotating action of the electrical toothbrush
  combined with proper techniques, toothpastes,
  flossing and rinsing maintains positive oral
  flora and reduces gum inflammations and
  infections.

33

• As part of a regular home care regimen, proper
  tooth brushing minimizes the need to visit family
  dentists and allows the patients to keep their
  teeth for a lifetime.
