Nano Toothbrush

I've been seeing these a lot lately, has anyone here used one? If so what is your feedback?

I like the idea of them - super soft, many more bristles, says it's better for your gums and does a better job cleaning. I use an Oral-b but sometimes even the soft heads are too harsh for my gumline.

Not this specific one, but I just learned a month ago that the reason for my dental and gum issues was too strong a toothbrush. I had NO idea. Dental hygienist explained (and it's a "duh" moment that never occurred to me at 44yo!) that an electric/strong toothbrush is not better at all. In fact what you want is a gentle toothbrush you will feel comfortable brushing with for longer, to do a more thorough job, and most of all to not irritate your gums. My gums have been feeling 100 times better after 3 days of using an extra soft, completely normal brush.

Okay I'm going to give it a try then, thanks PP.

I didn't like it at all. I have sensitive teeth and receding gums, but this one I liked a lot less than other extra-sensitive brushes. It honestly felt like the toothbrush material itself was ending up in my mouth as a weird foam.

I like the Dr. Plotka better.
