1. Make sure your toothbrush works for the shape of your mouth. Some mouths are more
narrow or wide than others, and you need a toothbrush that works for your mouth and teeth
2. Keep the size of your mouth in mind. Mouths vary in size. If you have an average-sized
mouth, most conventional toothbrushes will probably work for you
3. Look at the angle of the toothbrush. Some toothbrushes are designed to be held at a
particular angle. The ideal toothbrush is always one you can easily use
4. Select a handle you like. Go for a toothbrush with a soft handle that's easy to hold
5. For the vast majority of people, a soft-bristled toothbrush will be the most comfortable and
safest choice. Depending on how vigorously you brush your teeth and the strength of your teeth, medium- and hard-bristled brushes could actually damage the gums, root surface, and protective tooth enamel
