Do you like it hard or soft?

[SPAGo 98]

Your toothbrush, that is.

I bought a medium bristle toothbrush by mistake - I usually get soft bristles - and I HATE it! It feels like I'm using a steel brush!

YOU MADE ME LAUGH!!!!

I like my tooth brush soft,,sensitive gums!!! But we have one of those Braun spinning ones and they are NOT soft---remember to change them EVERY 6 months!!!! Yes... I was a dental assitant ... I know my tooth brush change time LOL..Thanks for the chuckle!!!

 

[Nutsy]

[dizneenut]

Soft. My gums are very sensitive.

Unless it's hard I don't want it, have to get the real effects of what hard can do. LOL

I have an electric toothbrush, I have never paid attention to the package I just buy them.

 

[vickyBaby]

I use medium, but the dentist keeps telling me to switch to soft because I'm brushing too hard.

 

[honeywolf7]

Definitely soft.

 

[browneyes]

Definately hard. The soft bristles don't perform as well.

 

[shep]

Soft, but I have a electric toothbrush now...

 

[lilboo]

SOFT BUT ELECTRIC

 

[Dan Murphy]

I use a Braun 3-D Excel, they are soft. Dentists recommend soft.

ACK! All of you using hard toothbrushes -- stop!

I used to use hard toothbrushes and brush really hard. I ended up causing an abrasion on one of my bottom teeth. I wore the enamal right off! It's been there for at least 4 years and the dentist hasn't said anything about doing anything about it, but sometimes when I brush, OWIE! I remember where it is!

It's all in the technique. Use a soft brush, turn on one of your favorite songs and brush for as long as the song, then floss. Your teeth will be just as shiny and sparkling as if you used a hard brush and brushed hard.

I'm back in school, so I'm getting back into the habit of lecturing.

...and I thought this was the TACO thread.....

as for toothbrush......softer is better.

BTW...if this WERE the taco thread...it would be hard.

 

[catsrule]

soft, and dentist says to only use soft.

 

[pixiedust218]

Soft...that's what the dentist says and that's what the dental assistant gives me when I leave after my cleaning every 6 months (not my favorite thing to do)

 

[Wagamama]

hard...

 

[Princess Michelle]

I have to use the ones with the extra soft bristles, hard ones hurt my gums.

 

[epcotfan]

Hard and long.
