This article explains toothbrush handles that are easier to hold.

• Arthritis or weak hands can make it hard to hold a toothbrush.
• Poor brushing raises the risk of decay and gum disease.
• A special handle makes the brush wider and easier to grip. This helps people keep doing it themselves for longer.

Steps

1. Slide the toothbrush into the handle.
2. Hold it and brush as normal.
3. When the brush wears out, change the brush. Keep the handle.

An electric toothbrush is also easier to hold. It may suit people who do not mind the noise and buzzing.
