A daily routine of tooth brushing is often taken for granted as many people overlook the importance of getting this simple cleaning act done
correctly. It is not only important to brush correctly, but it is crucial that you use the right toothbrush in order to take care of your teeth and gums without damaging them.
Toothbrushes are just as important as toothpaste. Most may think that toothbrushes are me
rely tools to help transfer the toothpaste to teeth during brushing but its function goes beyond
that as it is the tool that removes decay causing plaque, the soft biofilm of bacteria on teeth.
Nowadays, we easily find ourselves spoilt for choice in the vast array of toothbrushes stocked on shelves. Did you
know that there
is a staggering 10 types of
available toothbrushes? The bewildering choices are likely to be a cause of confusion when consumers attempt to select the best toothbrush, but not all toothbrushes are the same.
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing toothbrush would be to understand how we use our pearly whites daily. What do our teeth endure? For Malaysians there’s one thing which we are all ‘guilty’ of and that is putting our teeth through the toughest job because of our passion for food. Malaysians can be found eating at any time of the day and the
diverse flavours as well as unimaginable texture. Food that gets lodged in between tooth, food that stains, food that leaves a coating on
gumlines; all these
which plaque feeds on and
eats away at the enamel, causing cavities and decay.
SYSTEMA the number 1 selling
toothbrush in Japan was first launched in 1993 by Lion
Corporation Japan (hereafter “Lion Japan”). It was a quantum leap in the prevention of periodontal disease as it introduced the first patented 0.02mm tapered toothbrush that penetrates deeper into the hard to reach areas of in between teeth and gum-lines with the ability to clean the gum pockets, without traumatizing the teeth and gum lines.
In comparison to normal toothbrushes, the tapered bristles have the ability to clean 9 times
better, meanwhile reducing
brushing pressure by 66%. It is
also more flexible
leading to an effective yet comfortable clean.
“SYSTEMA’s history in the development of oral care products dates back to 1896 where the
founder of LION Corporation, Tomijiro Kobayashi began manufacturing soap and toothpaste.
Over the years, our team has grown and in 1914 we launched the first toothbrush, which was
developed together with the guidance from the Tokyo College of Dentistry that
is now known as the Tokyo Dental College,” said Mr Takashi Ohno, Director of International Product Innovation Department, Lion Japan.
“Lion Japan believes the most important part of a toothbrush is the bristles. For healthy teeth and gums, a toothbrush must clean beyond just tooth surfaces but effectively all parts of the teeth especially the difficult to reach gum lines, back teeth and between teeth, yet is gentle on the gums and teeth,” Mr Ohno added.“
Brushing need not be hard as plaque is naturally soft; the most important is the effective brushing of interdental areas and using a toothbrush that is tapered to be able to also
reach between narrow gum lines and between teeth. A healthy smile is an asset”, added Dr Sean Paul, Director of LivingWell Healthcare.
The dental experts Dr. Sean Paul and Dr. Naoshi Kanamaru, Ph.D., Researcher of Oral Care
Research Laboratories, Lion Japan were present to share their opinions on the importance of
choosing the right toothbrush, and how good oral care contributes to improving quality of life.
As a result
of 100 years
in working with
dental professionals and having
their own team
of scientists, Lion Japan
is no doubt
the pioneering company in the
innovation of tapered toothbrush.
