What Kind of Toothbrushes Do You Use?

Got a few of those Ruthanne but I use an electric toothbrush, Oral B - don't feel my teeth are clean if I use a manual one. But agree that the Bamboo ones do not irritate the gums - o/h uses a manual toothbrush , can't stand the sensation of the electric ones. Saw a programme once, that when introduced a 'dentist' offered a toothbrush to a family saying they could all use it and it would help. :eek:
My grandfather would take his false teeth out and make me laugh. O hail toothbrushes manual or otherwise. Mind you, toothpicks were used in the Neolithic age. Saw some in the museum in Avebury. Don't live far from there and have been many times to the stones. I think I've gone off piste yet again. Sorry. :oops:☺
 
Those look really nice, never heard of them before. We just buy the large packs of them from Costco when they're on sale, last pack that we're using now are Oral B. I also have an inexpensive Oral B with the rotating head that I use sometimes, but that's harsher on the gums. I've been using Sensodyne toothpaste for a while.
 

Oral-B have been our go-to toothbrushes since eternity.

SeaBreeze, mentioned Sensodyne Tooth paste as well, and we use that, too, just not everyday.

As for good old-fashioned wooden toothpicks, we still use them after a meal such as ribs, pork chops, steak... food that tends to get stuck between teeth.

As for floss, Oral-B Complete (minted).

We use Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes -- which our dentist recommends (although we had them before we visited this dentist).

I don't use the electric ones because I have no outlet that is close to my sink.
 
I use a Phillips Sonicare and a Waterpik cordless water flosser. I also have an older model Phillips Air Flosser that I alternate with the Waterpik. When I get lazy and don't want to use the electric toothbrush my dentist supplied manual toothbrush is available.
 
Hygienist gives me one after cleaning my teeth twice a year. They sit in the linen closet because I don't like them. If anyone visits overnight and forgets theirs, I give them those.
I have a horrible time buying a toothbrush that I like.I'll buy new ones and end up using them for cleaning. They all feel to hard (bristles) so I bought what's called flossing toothbrushes and the handle is so skinny that it's difficult to hold. Toothbrushes frustrate the heck out of me.
I might just try those in the picture above though and see how they feel.
