What bristle hardness is suitable for me?

The choice of bristle hardness is very personal and depends on your teeth, gums, and sensitivity.

You might think that toothbrushes with hard bristles clean better, but in reality they damage tooth enamel and weaken gums. So a soft toothbrush is often the best choice when it comes to caring for your teeth gently.

However, for those who prefer a firmer cleaning sensation, we recommend Berninox medium heads, which have also been designed to protect your gums. For particularly sensitive gums, such as those of pregnant women, people who have undergone dental surgery, suffer from periodontitis, or simply because of natural sensitivity, opt for the super soft bristles. This option prevents bleeding and offers a gentler, more comfortable experience for your mouth.
