Which toothbrush is more effective?
“Some studies have shown that tapered or angled bristles are slightly more effective at reducing plaque than flat brushes,” Tang says.

Does it matter what toothbrush you use?
As a rule, toothbrushes with soft bristles are a better choice. For the vast majority of people, soft bristles will provide the best cleaning action. Soft bristles are gentle on your gums and on the enamel of your teeth, unlike hard bristled toothbrushes which can cause bleeding if too much pressure is applied.
Are electric toothbrushes overpriced?
One thing worth pointing out about electric toothbrushes is that they are not cheaper in the long run. Electric toothbrushes cost about 10 times as much as manual toothbrushes, and you have to replace the brush heads at the same frequency (every three months), each for about the same cost as a manual brush.

How long do toothbrushes last?

What size toothbrush should I get?
For most adults, a toothbrush head a half-inch wide and one-inch tall will be the easiest to use and the most effective.
