Soft toothbrushes are preferred by dentists for several reasons. Firstly, they are gentle on the gums, reducing the risk of irritation and gum recession. Soft bristles effectively remove plaque and debris from the teeth without causing damage to the enamel or gum tissue. Additionally, soft toothbrushes are suitable for individuals with sensitive teeth or gums, as they provide a comfortable brushing experience. Dentists often recommend soft toothbrushes as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene routine to maintain optimal dental health and prevent issues such as gingivitis and enamel erosion.
