Toothbrush - Basic, EXTRA HARD, 4-Pack, Adult - Smokers

It is so difficult to find firm toothbrushes these days, and when you do, they often have tiny and or weird-shaped heads. THESE toothbrushes, on the other hand, are exactly what I was looking for! They are super-firm, so they actually clean your teeth and get the plaque off, and they last a long time without the bristles getting "smushed down". A while back (I've been using these toothbrushes for years now) I had to make a rare trip to the dentist, and my teeth were so clean that he could not believe that I hadn't had them professionally cleaned in over 20 years! (He thought I had had them cleaned at another dentist within the past few months!). The toothbrushes you find in the stores today (Including the firm ones) are a mere placebo. THESE toothbrushes actually clean your teeth and make your mouth feel fresh and clean. No need to worry about gum damage or anything like that...just brush with a light touch when near your gums (And that's usually all that is needed to clean your teeth with these brushes...but the option is always there to press harder when needed). I've been using these for quite a few years, and I'm an old fart- and my teeth and gums are in great shape. There's no going back (to "regular" toothbrushes) after you've tried these! If they ever stop making these I don't know what I'll do, because there is nothing else like them on the market that I know of- They're just good old-fashioned toothbrushes that actually do what a toothbrush is supposed to do. They stand in stark contrast to all of the other toothbrushes out there which seem to made for snowflakes and Tinkerbells.

Finding "hard" toothbrushes has become quite difficult. The last of the mainstream toothbrush brands (Reach) was licensed to a new manufacturer, who now produces the brushes in China. The "firm/hard" brushes from that company are no longer what they once were. Thus, I'm stuck looking under rocks and behind unlikely doors for "firm" toothbrushes. I discovered "extra hard, smoker's" toothbrushes -- and with some trepidation purchased sample quantities of this and another brand. These toothbrushes are satisfyingly hard -- and leave the teeth feeling smooth and slick after brushing. Good brushing technique is required to avoid damage to one's gums -- but that is something that many have mastered over the years. The big problem is that the American Dental Association "declared" that only soft (and grudgingly medium) toothbrushes would receive their "seal of approval." This, coupled with dentists and dental hygienists anti-hard toothbrush propaganda has destroyed the market choices we used to enjoy. (Note that my dental hygienist has had to admit that my teeth are in generally excellent condition and show no damage from use of firm brushes (which I've used for 60+ years). These particular brushes remind me of a brush style that I recall from many years ago (but are not quite like the Colgate "Classic" I used to get). One chuckle (presumably to work around the toothbrush bureaucrats) is that each brush is labeled, "not for teeth." One small note is that I've noticed that as I've become accustomed to these "extra hard" toothbrushes, they seem less hard than when I first used them -- but when giving an objective look at the condition of my teeth (before and after brushing) that these are indeed hard brushes and do not show a lot of sample variation in the degree of hardness.

After being frustrated when trying to find a truly firm toothbrush in ANY store, I started online searches and found these outstanding brushes on Amazon. These brushes are the same as I used to be able to buy anywhere before they were "badmouthed" by some organizations. Organizations similar to the ones that told you that milk and steak are bad for you. Don't believe the hype. These are excellent toothbrushes and are the only ones of their type that I could find anywhere. It's sad to me that they have to come with a disclaimer indicating that they are not to be used as toothbrushes. The brushes are excellent and I hope the provider is able to continue providing these wonderful toothbrushes. One benefit I have noticed is that my gums are healthier since using these brushes. I received my brushes in a timely manner and they were exactly as advertised. Also, they are made in the good old U.S.A. Please help this provider stay in business by supporting this business with a purchase. The price is reasonable and honestly, I would have paid twice the price for brushes this good. Five Stars for sure!

This is a toothbrush for the gods. If Zeus and Odin had to brush their teeth, they would use this product. In my valiant effort to become one of the Olympic or Norse higher entities, I daily trained my teeth and gums with the toothbrush even despite warnings and disclaimers by the merchant. Now my gums are strong and healthy and this toothbrush literally erases away any overnight calculus in the cervices (wipes Medusa away!). Also, great for those with braces as the bristles are strong enough to poke through the spaces and take cares of plaque, no problem. Use at your own risk, but understand the rewards justified the means (for me).

This say not for teeth, but I've been using it for more than 2 years, really cleans wells. After the first time using it, my dentist said I was doing a good job. If you're looking for a very firm brush, this will do the job! Updates: 2/8/2025!!!! Still using, can't use anything else anymore. This is what brushing should feel like. Love these brushes. 😁 They get soften after a few brushing but they are very firm, also perfect for cleaning your tongue. 😛

Great for those who like a firm bristled toothbrush that is impossible to find in drug stores. My only critique is that the brushes all have the same colored handle (all green). I would have preferred an assortment of handle colors.
