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

Product Information

To further accommodate sensitive mouths, you can also look for soft or gentle brush heads. Dr. Seibert also recommends using a toothpaste or fluoride or one that has been formulated for sensitive teeth. If you suffer from sensitive teeth or gums, look for toothbrushes that have a sensitivity setting, according to Melissa Seibert, DDS, CEO of the Dental Digest Institute. Some electric toothbrushes have AI technology or pressure sensors that teach you how to brush the right amount and apply the right amount of pressure, says Dr. Seibert. "Brushes with oscillating-rotating technology are a very effective mechanism for delivering a safe, but effective clean," she adds. Rinse the tongue brush or tongue scraper off after using it to remove bacteria and any food debris from the areas of the tongue you cleaned.

Toothbrushes are one of a number of dental tools thatare traditionally high in plastic but with a short shelf life. A 2006 review examined two studies on tongue cleaning and bad breath and found that tongue scrapers and cleaners were more effective than toothbrushes in reducing the volatile sulfur compounds that cause breath odors. The bristles on different toothbrushes can be very different. From the colour to the way they are cut, and the angles to the orientation.

Why Should You Clean Your Tongue?

The metal handle is heavier than a plastic alternative, but feels like it should stand the test of time. It is easy to grip too. Starting with an affordable price tag, the Voom Sonic Pro 5 Rechargeable Electronic Toothbrush offers much more than expected in terms of features and effectiveness. We found the setup of the Voom Sonic Pro 5 Rechargeable Electronic Toothbrush to be remarkably easy and intuitive. While most settings were self-explanatory, we referred to the manual to grasp each function thoroughly. The handle was the perfect width, offering comfortable handling. Although the brush head seemed initially small, it worked well, and switching between settings was simple despite occasional accidental changes. Some, however, may not like the feeling of stainless steel on their tongue and find a plastic tongue scraper more comfortable to use. “The stainless steel tongue scrapers are best since they can be cleaned and disinfected,” says Joseph Salim, DMD, dentist at Sutton Place Dental Associates in New York. “They also last longer than their plastic counterparts.” Dr. Salim stresses that the technique used is just as important as the kind of tongue scraper used.

Each brush head has hundreds or thousands of individual bristles in them.The bristles are grouped together into ‘tufts’ of about 20-40. 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. The large handle can make the whole head feel bulky, which can take some getting used to. It could be uncomfortable for some people, such as those with smaller mouths or a pronounced gag reflex.Get the most out of your battery powered toothbrush with soft activated, vibrating bristles that deliver the cleaning power of 20,000 strokes per minute.
