Oral-B Gum Care Sensitive Toothbrushes, Extra Soft, 2 Count

Perfect. Like the soft bristles and compact head

3-4 years ago I received one of these on my last dentist visit. I searched high and low. I either missed it on my Amazon search or they didn't carry them previously. No store had them. These are the best. A soft brush is always recommended. But the bristles on these are superb. My best comparison is at the manual car wash, the brush has a million bristles. No matter how much pressure you apply you will not damage your car. The amount of bristles produces tons of lather and when you're done it's clean. Super soft brush, extremely safe and no damage. Extremely clean. And my original toothbrush from the dentist? I only tossed it when I got these home. Compared to a regular new Oral B, it was just as good. No way I could use it daily but I kept it and used it a couple of times a month, it was that good. That car wash brush....the bristle tips are softer than the rest of the bristle. You get the strength and integrity of the base of the bristle, but the part that touches your paint is soft and safe and your hard pressure can only enhance your cleaning effort but cannot damage your paint. Oral B and Amazon, your welcome:)

I noticed that some buyers have been unhappy that these toothbrushes are not extra soft. They are a little more firmer that I thought they'd be when I first bought some about a year ago, but I do like their bristle setup. They are soft enough for cleaning your teeth properly and gum safe as well, just don't bear down hard which I tend to do and is not necessary for clean teeth. My periodontist cautioned me to never use the very soft post-surgery brushes on a daily basis as your main toothbrush - they are only for temporary use. I use post-surgical ones for a quick second brush and to brush my tongue since they are more gentle than a tongue brush even bearing down. All in all, I'd recommend these brushes to anyone!
