What do patients really need to know about toothbrushes and dental floss?
Khalid M. Al-Saif, BDS, MSD
A very common question usually asked by dental patients is what type of toothbrush and dental floss they should use. A simplified and comprehensive review of current literature on toothbrushes and dental floss as well as techniques of brushing and flossing is presented. It is also emphasized that materials and methods are only two factors of achieving good oral hygiene. The most important factor is for the patients to apply routine practice of the technique chosen.
