Oral b pro health gum care medium toothbrush
A medium brush head can clean teeth, but gum care depends on light pressure, a soft filament option when available, and cleaning between teeth.
The short answer
The Oral-B Pro-Health gum-care brush can remove plaque from tooth surfaces, but gum protection depends on gentle pressure and careful positioning at the gum margin.
How does the medium brush texture affect your gums?
The brush works through powered bristle movement against enamel and the gingival margin; a medium texture may feel firmer than soft filaments and can irritate tissue when used forcefully.
How should you position and move the brush gently?
Use small controlled movements, angle the bristles toward the gumline, and avoid pressing until the bristles splay. Clean the tongue and interdental spaces separately, then rinse and air-dry the brush head.
When does brushing-related gum irritation need care?
See a dentist if brushing causes recession, persistent bleeding, sensitivity, or a sore area. A professional can identify abrasion, gum disease, calculus, or a restoration that traps plaque.
Is a medium brush suitable for your gum thickness?
Ask whether a medium brush is suitable for your gum thickness and brushing force. Ask for advice on head shape, pressure, technique, and interdental brushes.
