Dr. Collins Perio Toothbrush Value Pack, 2 Count

This is my favorite kind of toothbrush. The fine bristles allows one to direct brushing in areas that need special attention. They are soft enough that they don't irritate the gums.I have found it's easy to miss some areas when brushing, which leads to cavities or decay. For example, with some of the edges beneath my crowns, I need to also brush upward from the gum up toward the top of the tooth to clean the edge. Hard to do this with some toothbrushes, as they don't provide the fineness, or they irritate the gums because they are too large or tough. These brushes also are able to get into recessed areas without digging into the nearby gums, so they provide a very thorough cleaning.These brushes get teeth very clean yet are also gentle.I find that after about 2-3 months it's good to replace them, even if they don't look changed. They lose some of their firmness and effectiveness otherwise. A new brush has a noticeable effect for getting a really good cleaning.Also to note, any regular toothbrush will not remove biofilm, which is a slimy bacterial precursor to plaque, which breaks down enamel. I was told that only a sonic electric toothbrush, such as Sonicare, or a dental polishing, will remove biofilm. So I also sometimes use the electric toothbrush, which is not as gentle or precise, but seems to get in some other areas well. The combination or alternating of manual and electric brushing is good. Some mouthwashes and special toothpastes can also help with biofilm by managing the oral microbiome (balance of good and bad bacteria).

If you really want a toothbrush that is soft, yet holds up to cleaning your teeth well, this is the only brand I have bought in years. Cannot find in the stores anymore, so I always get them on Amazon. You won't use any other brand after this!

Love these. Soft, tapered bristles clean between teeth. Only ones I use.

Didn’t think I’d want to leave a review for toothbrushes- but I’ve got to say these are the best manual toothbrushes I’ve ever used! They clean so well between teeth getting out all sorts of gunk you didn’t think was left there. There is something in how these toothbrushes are made, maybe their fibers are tapered at the end or are thinner towards the end (I’m not sure), but they reach in between teeth so well giving a thorough brushing experience.

I've been using these toothbrushes for quite some time now. I swear by them. I used to be able to get them with my subscribe and save, but they no longer allow that. At first I was upset that they might be no longer available, but they just weren't available for s and s orders. I was very pleased that I could still buy them from amazon!

I really love this soft-bristled toothbrush! The bristles are incredibly soft, making it super comfortable to use. It gently cleans my teeth without causing any irritation to my gums. The quality is excellent, especially for the price—it’s definitely a great value. I’m impressed by how effective and gentle it is, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable toothbrush. It’s a simple but great product that does its job well!

I was skeptical. I didn't see how this thing could really be as different or better than other, more complicated brushes with fancy multicolor bristles of all shapes and sizes. Surely those fancy ones were designed in some kind of supercomputer with wind-tunnel, high-altitude, flame-retardant testing to be the pinnacle of teeth brushing technology.So I was skeptical.The first thing I did was rub the bristles on the back of my hand. They were indeed very soft, as advertised. The bristles bent apart without much effort. I took my laser-guided toothbrush, and rubbed that on the back of my hand. There was really no comparison to be made. The ultra-modern bits of the superbrush just aren't meant to give at most any pressure. It behaved like a dense block of bristles rather than a brush; something that I hadn't really ever paid attention to before. It was also not at all soft.I examined the new brush up close. The bristles are straight, white, and arranged in a plain, ordinary pattern. No sign of any technology designed on the space station here. The tips of the bristles were very thin and pointy. From the side, the surface has a kind of blurry appearance from the tiny bristle tips.The head was a decent length, but a tiny bit more narrow than I was used to.The handle is slightly banana shaped, with a good textured bit for the thumb. Maybe more of a gentle curve, like a banana that had been straightened a little.The bristles took the toothpaste well. It kinda sank into the bristles a bit, impaled on their spearlike tips. I wet the head a little, took one last look at the device, shrugged, and brought the brush up to my mouth.I rubbed it against my front teeth first, lightly, as to mitigate injury if things got out of control. It was an odd sensation. There wasn't a centralized point of pressure. It felt more like I was rubbing my teeth with my finger rather than a brush. Intrigued, I began to apply a more regular pressure and speed as I started to follow my usual brushing path around my mouth. Still, there was not a feeling of direct pressure. The bristles were yielding to the tooth surface to a very large extent, preventing them from poking my gums when I got close to the tooth edge.This was all a pleasant surprise; I hadn't realized how irritating my regular brushes had been until the source of irritation was gone. Have my multicolored brushes designed by NASA truly failed me?The main reason I went looking for a new brushing lifestyle was due to a bit of dental surgery I'm going through at the moment. I'm having a broken tooth replaced, and for the moment, there is an empty space between two teeth that is fairly sensitive. Despite the promises of brushing as if in paradise, my fancy brushes were never able to brush in that area without causing a degree of pain. This was the real test. It all came down to this. Could I actually brush this area and remain pain-free in the process?The answer was a 95% yes. There were a couple times when the bristles rubbed the gums the wrong way, and it made me wince a little. But I was able to brush that section more effectively than ever before.As I rinsed the brush, I examined it once again. Still no sign of racing stripes or supercharged turbo anything. Not even a battery compartment or USB port.I had to admit, while thoughtfully looking at my FancyBrush, that "simple" had beaten out the complexities of colorful bristles pointing every which way, made of eight different alien polimers.So for now, this brush is my daily driver, but the old brush still hangs inside the uv-brush holder. Will I ever use it again? I don't think so, but I have a real problem letting go of the future.

At age 82, with a sensitive-to-just-about-everything mouth, this is a winner. Many dollars have been spent in the past two years searching for a brush that doesn't make my mouth hurt. I've been using these for a while. I like the slight bend in the handle which is comfortable to hold and makes reaching tooth surfaces easier. I like the shape of the head. I would like the bristles to be maybe a cm shorter.I don't want to forget: This is important in my worry about the planet: EVEN THOUGH THE AMOUNT IS INFINITESIMAL, PLASTIC ON TOP OF PACKAGING IS CODED FOR RECYCLING! How about that?!
