Why soft
Hard bristles can scrape enamel and irritate gums. Soft bristles flex into the gumline without the same wear.
Pressure check
Bristles should flex slightly, not flatten against the tooth. If your brush head looks smashed after a week, ease up.
Timers help
Electric brushes often beep every 30 seconds so you cover each quadrant. A phone timer works for a manual brush.
Replace regularly
Frayed bristles clean poorly. Every three months, or sooner after illness, is a common replacement rhythm.
