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 :-)
