This toothbrush was gentle on the enamel and gums. I did not see rise of any gingival
inflammation throughout my mouth. Additionally, interproximal surfaces looked bit more
cleaner. My pre-brush score was less than 8% and my post-brush score was less than 7%.
Sixth, I used the Oral B pro health soft toothbrush. As the name implies, this toothbrush had very
soft and flexed bristles, which were gentle on the gingiva and able to clean all the surfaces of the
teeth. Reverse side of the head had texturized surface, which was effectively used to clean the
tongue and cheek following brushing. This additional benefit significantly improves oral health
in patients who are suffering from halitosis. My pre-brush score was less than 7% and my postbrush score was less than 6% following the use of this toothbrush.
Seventh, I used Oral B Professional mechanical toothbrush. I have been using this toothbrush for
past 2+ years. Bristles on this toothbrush are soft and of different lengths. The head of the
toothbrush is round in shape and much smaller in size compared to the manual toothbrushes.
Smaller head made it easier for me to maneuver the toothbrush in my mouth without any
discomfort. I was able to clean the hard to reach teeth surfaces such as lingual surfaces of
mandibular posterior teeth with ease. This toothbrush has oscillating and rotating bristles that
seemed to be removing plaque quicker than other toothbrushes. Additionally, the toothbrush has
rubbery elongated bristles that are used to reach the interproximal surfaces. Minimal to no
gingival inflammation was noted at the end of the week. My pre-brush score was less than 6%
and my post-brush score was less than 2%.
Eighth, I used the Mentadent Pro-care soft full head toothbrush. It was difficult to locate this
toothbrush in the local shopping store. This toothbrush came with bigger head compared to the
other toothbrushes and so it was difficult to use this toothbrush to clean the posterior teeth. I felt
as if I was not able to clean the lingual surfaces of maxillary and mandibular posterior dentition
effectively. Additionally, bristles felt more firmer and so I felt pain over the gingival margins
earlier in the week. My pre-brush score was less than 2% and my post-brush score was less than
6% at the end of the week.
Ninth, I used Reach toothbrush firm full head as my hard brush. This brush came with very hard
bristles that were not flexible with digital manipulation. Over the week, I noted that my gums
were becoming more sensitive and tender with the use of this toothbrush. Gingival inflammation
worsened over the week as well in addition to the plaque deposits over the interproximal
surfaces. It was progressively discomforting throughout the week. My pre-brush score was less
than 6% and my post-brush score was less than 6% as well.
As mentioned above, my original toothbrush is Oral B Professional mechanical toothbrush,
which I have been using for past 2+ years. I have been very happy with this toothbrush and have
maintained my oral health at its best.
In conclusion, I would recommend my patients to get mechanical toothbrush if finances are not
of any concern to them. In recent times, toothbrushes have taken toll on patients finances as
many different kinds of mechanical toothbrushes are available. If patient is limited by the
finances, I would highly recommend Oral B pro health soft toothbrush as it is easily available
and affordable. Additionally, it significantly helps reducing gingival inflammation to a healthy
level. Maintenance of oral health should be of utmost priority and performing basic oral care
using a toothbrush should be on top of the list.
