A toothbrush with soft bristles is less likely to injure gum tissue. The size and shape of the brush should allow you to reach the surface of every tooth. Smaller brushes work better for smaller children. Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months. Worn or frayed brushes may injure the gum tissue.
Electric toothbrushes are just as good as manual brushes.
