There are a few general categories when it comes to toothbrush bristles.
There is extra-soft, soft, and medium. Soft toothbrushes are generally recommended if you have no dental concerns. Toothbrushes that are too firm can negatively affect your teeth and damage your gums. It is also important to find a toothbrush that is comfortable for you to hold. Many toothbrushes have non-slip grips, which are especially helpful for children!
You should be using your toothbrush at least twice a day, so it is important to find the right toothbrush. You also have the option of choosing a manual, electric, or sonic toothbrush. While they all have their pros and cons, it is important to choose the one that is best suited for you. Make sure to contact your dentist to see which toothbrush is best for you.
