Colgate 360 Toothbrush with Tongue and Cheek Cleaner - Soft (1 Pack)

Product Information

A tongue brush is a specialty oral brush with bristles designed to clean out the tongue's small crevices. This relatively recent invention is very effective at removing odor-causing bacteria comparable to a traditional tongue scraper. Today, you can even find combination products, which have a toothbrush on one side and a tongue brush on the other. How to Use a Tongue Scraper There is no right or wrong choice for handle shape. Some people prefer a flatter handle, whilst some prefer a round handle. Other options available include octagonal cross section, or irregular shapes for a firm hold. To reduce environmental impact, they use bio-based plastics instead of conventional oil-based plastics. The handle is partially bio-based plastic and partially recycled plastic, minimising carbon footprint. Our teeth felt wonderfully clean, making us convert to using electric toothbrushes. Despite the relatively high cost, considering its daily use and impact on dental health, the investment seemed worthwhile. This toothbrush is excellent for those who brush aggressively, offering useful alerts and callouts. With every pass the tips of the bristles are worn down. When they are no longer in optimum condition they are not as good at removing plaque.

Animal hair toothbrush bristles can harbour more bacteria than nylon due to the natural structure containing a hollow canal. Processing boar hair is also very difficult, and it is not always possible to get a rounded tip which will not damage the gums during brushing ( Fattal et al ). Don't just clean down the center of your tongue. It is essential to scrape and clean the entire top and side surfaces as well. This toothbrush has a number of good environmentally friendly aspects, including the recycled material handle, bio-based bristles and the replaceable head. I have selected it because it is one of the best eco-friendly toothbrushes as well as the best option for people looking for brushes with replaceable toothbrush heads.Brush head replacement indicators: You're supposed to change your brush heads every three months. Some of the more advanced toothbrushes will have replacement reminders and indicators—either on the brush handle or on an accompanying app. The bamboo handle is combined with bio-based bristles (which are arranged on a flat plane and are soft to medium hardness).

Really the take home message is that the technique is more important than the bristle firmness for plaque removal and protection against tooth wear. How bristle cut, shape & pattern can vary

How to Brush your Tongue

Use antibacterial mouthwash. This is an especially important step if you have mouth ulcers or wounds. Antibacterial mouthwash can help these heal faster and also prevent toothbrushing from becoming painful.
