The Intermed Professional Ergonomic Toothbrush Soft in blue color is a manual toothbrush with soft fibers, 4,600 according to the manufacturer, and a flexible ergonomic handle. Sold in a single piece package.
The soft hardness is what most dentists recommend for adults' daily brushing. If you have not received different instructions, it is usually the safest starting point.
Many believe that a hard toothbrush cleans better. In reality, plaque is a soft coating that is removed with proper technique and sufficient time, not with force. Soft fibers bend and reach the tooth and gum limit without aggressively rubbing the surface.
The large number of fibers means a dense head, covering more surface with each movement. The fibers have, according to the manufacturer, perfectly rounded ends, so brushing is gentle on teeth and gums.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, for about two minutes, with fluoride toothpaste. Hold the head at an angle towards the gums and make small, gentle movements. Rinse the toothbrush after use and let it dry upright.
For most adults, soft is the usual recommendation. Medium suits those who prefer a firmer feel and have no gum sensitivity.
The usual guideline is every quarter. If the fibers 'unravel' earlier or if you've had any gum treatment, don't wait.
The soft version comes in blue and red, convenient if you want to distinguish toothbrushes in the bathroom.
The soft fibers are gentler, but the solution is also in the technique: hold the handle with your fingers, not your whole palm, to reduce pressure.
Use as often as needed, at least twice a day for about two minutes, with fluoride toothpaste. Rinse after use and let it dry upright. Replace every three months or when the bristles become frayed.
