With the increasing number of products in the market, more and more modern-looking, yet harmful devices are available for purchase.
Thorough in cleaning, but gentle in design
For dental hygienists, a good product for your daily oral hygiene is:
-
Effective in cleaning; this means it has the ability to reach most if not all the surface of your teeth, whether located in the upper or lower jaws, front or back.
-
Non-traumatic – preferably gentle - on your gums and any exposed teeth dentine; good products do not include aggressive chemical ingredients or abrasive parts that may impact tender, sensitive gums, gum margins and/or teeth dentine.
-
Educative; detailed usage instructions are necessary and should be clear. Though packaging does not allow sufficient space for good detailed instructions to be written - sufficient information should be given. If in doubt, ask dental hygienists or doctors to instruct you on the appropriate application and cleaning techniques of your chosen product
-
Affordable; Cheap products often lack some important design considerations or material characteristic and in extreme cases may even expose you to a health hazard. On the other hand, oral care must be performed daily. Therefore, it is important that your chosen product has a well-balanced "value-for-money" ratio.
