In today's article I will tell you which means different colors on the bristles of toothbrushes. To be honest, I always thought that the color on the bristles means the degree of hardness of the toothbrush and each color corresponds to a certain degree. It turns out that the color has nothing to do with the degree of hardness, it is indicated exclusively on the packaging. The real meaning, or rather the meaning, since there are two of them, was recently told to me by my son. Now I began to brush my teeth correctly, and also buy toothpaste less often.

The first and foremost importance of colored bristles is highlighting the surface where the toothpaste should be applied. It turns out that you do not need to apply toothpaste to the entire surface of the brush, but only to its upper part. It is sufficient to apply a paste the size of a pea. It is this space that is highlighted in color. AND it absolutely does not matter what color the area for the paste is highlighted

is just the marketing of the manufacturers. As well no matter other colors on other parts of the brush. The second photo shows the correct amount of paste, scroll to the right.

For me personally, it was a great discovery that brushing your teeth with a lot of toothpaste, as I have done all my life, is not only a waste of paste, but also harmful to the teeth, as too much foam is formed, which interferes with full cleaning from plaque, as well as abrasive particles can damage the enamel. Well, and now I buy pasta three times less. As I said, there is also a second meaning of colored bristles. It lies in the fact that wear is better visible on multi-colored bristles than on monotonous ones, that is, it is easier to determine the time when it is time to change the toothbrush. That's all!
