Retainer Do’s and Don’ts – (Part 2 of 4)
In choosing a toothbrush for your retainer, it is better to buy a soft bristle toothbrush because it will be easier for you to omit invisible bacteria and plaque in the retainer. You can use cold or hot water for rinsing. Be careful in choosing your toothpaste too. Find a non-abrasive one. Soaking the retainer once in a while is also a good idea.
If you don’t have your toothbrush and toothpaste with you, see to it that you still rinse them with water. Some dentists might recommend you to use retainer cleaning products with corresponding proper care to observe.
