Best Toothbrushes
Brushing your teeth is one of the fundamental tenets of a good oral health routine. At CVS Pharmacy®, you can find a wide selection of toothbrushes from your favorite brands. Knowing the best toothbrush to buy is essential before making a purchase.
What Are the Best Toothbrushes?
Many of the best toothbrushes for removing plaque and bacteria have specially shaped brush heads to reach around and between your teeth more effectively. One example is the Oral-B Cross-Action manual brush, which has bristles that overlap to help clean the surfaces of your teeth more effectively.
Top-rated toothbrushes, such as Colgate 360, also feature a tongue-cleaning pad on the back of the brush head. This rough surface helps scrape plaque and food debris from your tongue and cheeks, helping give you a more thorough clean. Toothbrushes with tongue cleaners may work particularly well to freshen breath, as bacteria produce odors if not removed.
A toothbrush with polishing cups can also be a great choice if you have any staining. These products, such as the Oral-B Vivid Luminous toothbrush, adapt to the shape of individual teeth, gently polishing them to remove stains from coffee, wine and dark foods.
Who Makes the Best Toothbrushes?
The following brands offer the best manual and electric toothbrushes you can buy, according to many expert dentists:
Oral-B
Colgate
Sensodyne
Curaprox
Nimbus
Nuduko
Philips
What Is the Best Way to Keep Toothbrushes Clean?
There are several ways to clean and disinfect your toothbrush, including:
Running hot water between uses
Soaking the brush head in an antibacterial mouthwash
Disinfecting the brush head using denture cleansing solution
Using ultraviolet (UV) light sanitizer to disinfect the brush heads
What Toothbrushes Do Dentists Recommend?
Dentists frequently recommend Oral-B o Philips Sonicare as the best toothbrushes. The American Dental Association states that it's most important to choose a soft-bristled brush and use it twice daily for 2 minutes. Manual and electric toothbrushes both receive the ADA stamp of approval.
The ADA suggests holding your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gum line and making side-to-side strokes to clean most teeth. Hold the brush vertically and stroke up and down to clean the inside of your front teeth. Your dentist may also recommend a specific technique matching your needs.
