So toothbrushes come in soft, medium and hard.
Thing is, every dentist I’ve ever heard from has recommended soft bristles. Why do they even make the tougher kinds? For people with Gums of Steel?

Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.
They are manufactured that way so people will have a choice. And will buy one.
Meaning people buy more toothbrushes because there are a selection available? Hmmm
The hard ones is good for cleaning the grout between tile. Say, I bet the dentists who recomend hard bristles also recomend gum with sugar in it.

Warren ZevonThey suggest soft ones so youll come back more often for cleanings.
Too much brushing your gums can receed & then the roots show.
Better a well designed brush, not one of those straight top ones, which are kinda basic.
But then everytime since Ive been in like 3rd gr. they show a new pattern to brush your teeth.
well, my thinking was they would have profitable ones anyway, after their patients get fitted for false choppers,the dentist rarely sees them any more.

So the best answer anyone can give is that its due to a Dental Conspiracy? Are the people at OralB purveyors of the Truth?
Sorry, kids. Thanks for the conspiracy theory, but this ain’t GD.

I scrub the hell out of my gums with the hardest brush I can find (I figure if it’s not uncomfortable, my gums are okay with it), and I always get good marks from the dentist. He jabs me in the gum line with a sharp implement and is always surprised when it doesn’t sink in very far.

Medium bristles: omnivorous people

I use one of those Oral B Plaque removers (battery operated)…you don’t get a choice on the brushes, it’s one firmness fits all, that and they are sooooo expensive damnit.
When you first use them, they make your nose tickle, it’s kind of fun
Alphagene,
Shouldn’t that be:
Purveyors of the Tooth
?
Also important is toothpaste, which the active stuff in it is, in brief, sand.
For some strange reason people dont like to share toothbrushes. they might kiss that area of the mouth tons though. What gives you paranoid toothbrush sharers?
He’s the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armor, shouting ‘All Gods are Bastards!’
Hey, Alphagene, maybe it’s time to loosen up a bit. Try to think back, when you were a child, didn’t you like to laugh at a joke once in awhile? We’re not kids.
(Don’t fuss so much about the strength of bristles, Einstein didn’t.)
(Ever wonder if OralB developed different strengths to keep people like you at bay?)
