Use only soft toothbrushes on your teeth please. The harder you brush is not effective or desired, use a soft, gentle, nervous type of motion against your teeth stroking each tooth a least 20 times to remove plaque and debris. The harder toothbrushes and strokes cause erosion of the gums from scrubbing too hard on the tender tissue, and tooth abrasion occurs by actually sawing grooves into the teeth at the gum line. I've seen it over and over again in my line of work. Also I have to admit, I have a few grooves started on two of my teeth from brushing too hard. It can happen, just be careful. You don't get another set unless you can hold them in your hand to brush! Hope I've been of some help, and stay away from the hard toothbrushes!

Use a soft bristled toothbrush. Anything that will not come off of your teeth with a soft brush requires sharp steel to remove. Plaque can be removed with the softest toothbrush, whereas tartar cannot be removed with even the hardest toothbrush. That would require seeing a hygienist/dentist.

Dentist always recommend soft bristle brushes. If you brush too much on your teeth then it will remove the enamel (a layer on your teeth) and once that enamel goes away your teeth gets sensitive to cold and hot liquids.

My dentist reccomended a soft bristled battery powered one. This makes it much more difficult to brush too hard (which I do and it causes sensitivity) and is more efficient in cleaning.

According to dentists better soft,so the tooth enamel's protective layer doesn't thin-out much and also not harsh on your gums.

the hard one is like brushing ur hair using pins or nails...they have a damaging effect on the tooth...actually they wear the tooth surface....they are usually used to clean ur dentures with...the soft is the best...but people keep on saying it doesnt clean up.....take ur time and clean for 3 minutes

I suggest, both, and not old and worn-out.
However, be gentle with any hard brush.
