Soft bristled toothbrush / myLot

February 9, 2018 3:02am CST

Now there is a trend making toothbrush bristle softer. They say they clean better and reach more hard to reach corners of the teeth. I tried it but I am not satisfied. It's too soft for me I feel it cannot scrub the teeth well. I feel I did not brush after using those soft bristles. So now I replace them with the usual toothbrush with hard bristles. Do you like those toothbrush with soft bristles?

I prefer the middle hard toothbrush. I think soft one is not for me.

A dentist once told me soft brushes don't clean all that well. I use medium ones. They are comfortable.

I feel I didn't brush my teeth when I use soft bristles. Medium bristles work

I like electric toothbrush because it spoils my laziness.

It really cleans good and faster.

I like soft bristles as sometimes my gums bleed when I brush my teeth.

Bleeding is a sign they aren't getting cleaned well enough is what a dentist told me. My boyfriend won't floss because it makes his teeth bleed... If he flossed more that wouldn't happen.

@shaggin I floss as well but find it really hard to get to the back teeth.

It is hard! My wisdom teeth are tipped and really hard to clean behind. I will be glad to have them out. It's amazing I never got a cavity on them anywhere.

I have a good toothbrush that I believe does the work in cleaning my teeth.

Hard bristles are not good for your gums but I don't like very soft bristles either. Medium I prefer.

I do not really believe that, but i use it too and will always use it, i guess. I like the feeling of it

I think using a not so soft brush will now hurt my gums

You should just brush your teeth gently. Soft bristles I'm not satisfied

I don't like a hard one just the right one. Too soft I feel I didn't brush my teeth after

Use a hard one long enough and it will wear down to soft bristles.

Yes that's true. It will soften as you use it regularly

i prefer medium bristles. i was forced to buy a soft toothbrush because i need it already, but now i need to replace is again, so i'll make sure not to really find a medium one this time.

We only use soft toothbrushes as recommended by our dentist and love them.

Dentists prefer you to use soft bristles because the hard bristles are very rough on the gums
