Toothbrush
- an effective means for oral care, familiar to mankind since ancient times. The main purpose of a toothbrush is to get rid of food residues between the teeth and on the tooth surface in the form of plaque. By getting rid of unwanted food particles, we automatically get rid of the main problem - harmful bacteria.
The ancestor of the toothbrush in ancient times were ordinary wooden sticks. A similar model to modern toothbrushes was invented by William Addis in 1770. The Englishman did not waste time in prison and already in 1780, when he was free, began mass production. The first patent for mass production was received by the American Wadsworth in 1850. The bristles of his brush consisted of boar wool or other animals with thick and elastic hair. But, like all new products, it had many disadvantages:
- It had a large head with large villi - so only easily accessible places were cleaned, but harmful bacteria continued to multiply in remote and hard-to-reach corners of the mouth.
- It was not convenient to use, because it did not hold well in the hand during cleaning.
- The boar's fur took a long time to dry and was an ideal place for bacteria to grow, which happily moved into your mouth.
As evolution should, it perfected everything imperfect. Already in 1934, the campaign, still famous today - "Oral-B" launched into mass production a toothbrush of delicate dimensions with a comfortable handle and nylon bristles.
Where and at what prices can I buy a toothbrush?
Everyone knows that you need to brush your teeth twice a day and after meals, special attention should be paid to evening brushing, but few people know what the optimal price of a brush should be for you. If you think that by paying more you will be able to use it longer, you are mistaken. In fact, the recommended service life of a brush is 3 months (after that, the number of bacteria begins to exceed the limit of the norm), or until it is completely worn out. In fact, the main advantage of an expensive brush over a cheap one is the density and quality of the bristles, which retain the correct shape and elasticity for 3 months. Also, thanks to the well-thought-out structure of the head, it is possible to reach the deepest corners. Usually, good copies can be bought in pharmacies, or online stores like ours. Prices range from 65 UAH to 1020 UAH per piece, that is, the cost will satisfy most customers. The price of the most popular one fluctuates around 200 UAH.
Types
By type, brushes are divided into electric and non-electric. Non-electric ones are popular, they are used by 70% of the population due to the high level of control over the cleaning process. The main difference between its types is the stiffness of the bristles. They are divided into brushes:
- Soft hardness - intended mainly for children (because the enamel is not yet strong enough) and people with sensitive gums;
- Medium hardness - these are used by most people;
- Hard hardness - used mainly for cleaning dentures.
