Is a soft bristled tooth brush really better than a hard one?

Question

i the the hard bristles wipe away more plaque and the go farther in between the teeth. I think they feel better, but people want softer bristles. Which ones are better for your teeth?

Answer 1

In dental school they show us gums from hard bristled and soft bristled tooth brushes. Those who use hard usually need gingival (gum) grafts, which we go and take skin from your palate (roof of mouth) and attach to your gums. If you're worried about the inter proximal spaces of your teeth, use floss. Floss only the ones you want to keep. Soft bristled tooth brushes, you just brush in small circular motions on the buccal and facial surfaces and back and forth on the occlusal. :)

Answer 3

Toothbrush Hard Bristles

Answer 4

A soft brush is better than a hard one. Manual toothbrushes are not highly recommended, but the best for second place. The best is a Sonic Care or Oral B Braun. The science behind the soft brush is not to remove gum or tooth structure and over time this happens with a hard brush. If you visit the dentist regularly he or she should be able to tell if you are brushing away the gums or tooth.

Answer 5

the reason for brushin is to remove the plaque tat forms on ur teeth. plaque is a soft deposit tat forms on ur teeth everyday. even after brushin it starts to form as a thin biofilm. so a soft toothbrush n gentle brushing is gud enough to remove tis on a daily basis. hard toothbrush can lead to abrasion cavities on ur teeth which in turn leads to sensitivity n u would need to get it filled. prevention is always better thn cure. using hard toothbrush can also cause gingival recession (gum starts to go down). so save urself of all the trouble by using a toothbrush to brush atleast twice a day n most importantly at night b4 goin to bed n floss ur teeth atleast once a day. n go for ur regular dental visits to maintain healthy teeth n gum.

My dentist says soft bristles. Hard bristles are tough on the gums.

Answer 7

My dentist always says 'soft' but I REALLY prefer medium. I like medium because it makes me feel like my teeth are really clean. That's the same reason I purchase Reach toothbrushes, rather then Oral. I always feel that soft brushes aren't doing the job. Hard is murder for your teeth. Definitely don't do that. All and all, soft is the best, but...I'm stubborn.

Answer 8

ONLY SOFT.

WHY?

THE HARD ONE WILL BE HARMFUL TO:
1= GUMS
2= DENTIN (THE SOFTER TOOTH STRUCTURE BENEATH THE ENAMEL).

SO WHAT?

1= GUM RECESSION LEADING TO TOOTH TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY.

2=DENTIN ABRASION, CAUSING WARING AWAY OF DENTIN.

SO THEN WHAT ARE MEDIUM OR FIRM BRUSHES SOLD?
BECAUSE IGNORANT PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THEM.

DENTISTS ONLY ADVOCATE USE OF SOFT TOOTHBRUSHES.
