Oral b toothbrush extra soft

An extra-soft Oral-B toothbrush has fine flexible bristles intended to clean the gumline with less force than a firmer brush.

A toothbrush removes plaque by mechanical disruption at tooth and gum surfaces. A small head can reach back teeth, while tapered or rounded filaments can contact the gingival margin.

Use light pressure with short strokes or the powered brush’s guided motion, angle bristles toward the gumline, and clean every surface without scrubbing hard.

See a dentist if brushing causes persistent bleeding, recession, sensitivity, or abrasion, because the cause may be inflammation, technique, or exposed root surfaces.

Ask which head shape suits your mouth, how much pressure to use, and whether an electric pressure sensor or interdental brush would help.
