Sure Fit Dentures?


Answers:    I just posted an answer to this very examine on my blog the other day. Everyone with inherent teeth should be using SOFT bristles. The only thing prevailing conditions and hard toothbrushes are good for are cleaning dentures or the grout contained by your bathroom. *grin*

You don't need a lot of force to verbs the soft, sticky plaque off your teeth, but you do need to be thorough and trademark sure that you are cleaning all areas of your teeth especially at the gumline where plaque tend to build up. Your gums are very delicate and using anything harder than soft bristles will inflict recession. For more info see my blog post.

I can say for certain that a soft toothbrush is better. You don't have need of to scrub your teeth to remove bacteria. I've never had a dentist update me to "scrub as hard as I can with the hardest toothbrush you can find". That wear away enamel and makes your gums recede. Ultrasoft if you brush often (every meal) because the plaque is spare and not attached to your teeth that much, plus it won't devastate your gums.

If you only brush once a day or smaller quantity, use a medium (for opposite reasons).
