Quick answer
Choose the Hard Bristle Toothbrush (TB CLASSIC H) if you need maximum plaque removal and have healthy gums. Choose the Medium Bristle Toothbrush (TB CLASSIC M) if you want effective cleaning with a gentler feel.
Why Bristle Hardness Matters
Bristle hardness directly affects how much plaque you remove and how your gums feel afterward. Harder bristles scrub more aggressively, which can be beneficial for removing stubborn plaque but may irritate sensitive gums. Medium bristles offer a balance between cleaning power and comfort.
Trade-offs at a Glance
- Hard Bristle (TB CLASSIC H): Best for maximum plaque removal. The harder bristles scrub more vigorously, which can lead to cleaner teeth but may cause gum irritation if used too aggressively.
- Medium Bristle (TB CLASSIC M): Balances cleaning effectiveness with gentleness. Removes plaque well but is less likely to irritate gums, suitable for most people including those with mild sensitivity.
- Handmade Construction: Both brushes are hand-stitched with natural bristles, ensuring a traditional craftsmanship that supports consistent bristle density and durability. The handmade process means each brush is unique, but natural bristles may wear faster than synthetic ones.
