Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2007Extra Firm Toothbrush
Can someone tell me where I can get a really firm toothbrush, like the ones they used to make (and please don't preach about the evils of an extra firm brush. I'm a grown up) Thank you, DB >Can someone tell me where I can get a really firm toothbrush, like the ones >they used to make (and please don't preach about the evils of an extra firm [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >DB For many years I bought them from the Fuller salesman.

I have looked all over, I think they have quit making them. On a second note, I have a few old ones I use for house hold cleaning. The soft ones just don't cut the mustard. > > Can someone tell me where I can get a really firm toothbrush, like the > > ones they used to make (and please don't preach about the evils of an [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > The soft ones just don't cut the mustard. The firm toothbrushes should be kept for scrubbing dirt off your shoes. If used on teeth, you will end up with massive abrasion of your gums. Don't be an idiot! Use the softest brushes.

My comments were from personal experience and I believe that dentists are making more than enough money at present. After several years of using hard brushes, my lower front gums almost disappeared from the front of the teeth. For three years I have been using soft brushes. After each meal I wash my mouth thoroughly with water or tea or some non-sweet drink. I don't snack between meals and I brush for about 8-10 mins each night with a soft brush. I have my teeth cleaned by a dentist about every six months and I have had no problems from using the soft brushes. However, my gum abrasion shows no sign of recovering. Your call :-) RF > > The firm toothbrushes should be kept for scrubbing dirt off your shoes. If > > used on teeth, you will end up with massive abrasion of your gums.

Phew.. good thing they don't make money off skin grafting.. :-P I have a great one out in the garage I use for scrubbing carburetors. No scientific need for more than soft in the mouth. If the plaque won't come off with an ultra-soft brush, it is not plaque, but calculus which has to be scraped off with a metal instrument.

Let me know if you find we site that sells them.
