Toothbrush Epiphany

Why didn’t anybody tell me about medium-bristled toothbrushes years ago?  My teeth haven’t felt this shiny since I-don’t-know-when.

Seriously, I remember being taught when I was a kid that to take anything stiffer than a soft toothbrush to one’s teeth was to invite terrible things.  Am I the only one out there who remembers being taught that?

1. I think it may have something to do with protecting one’s gums.

   ;-D

2. LOL!  No doubt.  But my gums are happy!  Really happy!  because there is less crud left on my teeth, which has led to a sharp reduction in flossing trauma.

   Gawd, this is a gross topic.

3. I was always a firm person, then went to soft in my twenties because I have ultra-sensitive teeth (thanks, gluten!). But I take vitamin A now to help with my loverly tooth decay, so I could probably go back to mediums. In a couple of years. You know… after I’m all healed up.

   BTW, you are supposed to say, “thanks, gluten!” in the “thanks, BuyOwner!” commercial voice. Just so you know.

4. I was told that by my dentist, but my orthodontist used to make us use HARD bristle toothbrushes.  I still look for the hardest I can find, even though it’s supposed to take the enamel of your teeth.
