Dr. Collins Perio Toothbrush, 1 Count

I have to use a soft toothbrush because of sensitive gums. What I've found is that even the brand name soft bristle brushes are too harsh for me. I found an extra soft sold under the CVS brand but after a few weeks the bristles collapsed and no longer cleaned my teeth well. I ordered this one in hopes that it might work for me. Wow! This is absolutely the best toothbrush I've ever used. The bristles, although very soft, do not collapse and splay out. I've not experienced any gum irritation at all. The bristles are quite thin so they do a good job of cleaning between the teeth. The handle is deceptively ergonomic. In other words no overly padded handle or other silliness that makes it look more like a tennis shoe than a toothbrush. I will say that the bristle head is pretty small. That works great for me because it gets to all those hard to reach spots. Just don't expect one of those hair brush sized bristle heads. The price is certainly competitive with the name brands that are of lesser quality.

I have used these toothbrushes for over ten years. Soft durable bristles and comfortable handle. If you have sensitive tooth gums this is a highly recommended toothbrush.

I've bought 2 of these so far, one for me and one for my daughter. I've been using Extra Soft toothbrushes from either the Colgate or OralB brands for many many years. I thought I would give the Dr Collins brand a try and I am very glad that I did. This Dr Collins toothbrush is extra soft with extra thin bristles and perfect for sensitive teeth and sensitive gums especially for gum recession. I especially like how the bristles are tapered with some slightly longer than others, which helps between teeth and around gums especially with crowded teeth. It actually feels like gums are being massaged while brushing, which is very healthy for gums. This is the best extra soft toothbrush that I have ever used. My daughter is using one of these as well. A dentist had her use the Nimbus brand when she had braces, and for some sensory issues. It worked well. She says that this Dr Collins toothbrush is just as good as the Nimbus. So if you are looking for a good toothbrush while wearing braces, then give Dr Collins a try. Overall, Dr Collins is a great toothbrush for those with sensitive teeth, or any perio issue such as gum recession or sensitive gums. It cleans very well, and even massages gums. It also works well with braces.

Try it you'll want to order 10 at this price I promise!! Once the word gets out I'm sure the price will increase ..

I've been buying this toothbrush for years. I have sensitive teeth, the bristles are soft. I absolutely love this toothbrush and now my boyfriend only will use this kind too. Also, had braces and teeth were super sensitive, again this toothbrush was great for that to. Highly recommend if you have sensitive teeth or are currently in braces.

Initially, I thought this toothbrush out-shined all other brushes on the market. I needed a gentle brush that cleaned thoroughly between the teeth and gum line, without additional wear on my already receding gums. This was a temporary solution, but it still had a slight plastic feel to it. It is pretty soft and gentle, however after continuing the search for an even better brush (without being too weak for adult brushing) I discovered another brush that fit the criteria over and above the Perio, made by abcOralCare, the Yorum 5 model. That brush really worked better at cleaning for those of us with receding gums. This is a great alternative to all other drugstore or dentist-provided models and a good value. But for me, the Yorum 5 will remain THE toothbrush I use on a regular basis.

If you brush your teeth a few times a day, and if you are a senior citizen or just someone with sensitive gums, this brush is a gem. I still use my "soft" Oral B in the evening (soft is relative. The Oral B is not soft when compared to this.), but usually use this in the am and midday. As soft as it is, it really does remove plaque etc. I also have the "Collis Curve" brush but find I don't reach for that too often. I don't feel like my teeth are as clean after using that one. Plus, as others have noted, it has a really terrible, cheap, unpleasant-to-hold handle. The one on this isn't fancy, but it's ergonomically balanced. Plus this brush is about half the price of the curve! 10/31/13 Update: just came from my 6 month cleaning & mentioned this brush to my hygienist. She showed me a new one that Colgate has just come out with that copies this brush almost exactly, except leave it to Colgate to color the tips of the bristles blue. She said the reason it cleans so well is that the bristle ends are actually very fine and almost feathery, so they really get into crevices. Now I'll check out the price differential between this one & Colgate's, but all things being equal, I'd rather get this one and support the company that invented it.

My dentist used to hound me to use a soft bristle brush but I always preferred the feeling of a hard brush. Now that I'm in my thirties I'm paying for it - the enamel near the gumline is so worn thin that they're extremely sensitive and my dentist says it's the brush that caused it! So I've been searching for the perfect soft brush and I think this is the one. I tried some by Colgate but came to find that they aren't truly soft. This Perio brush, while it took some getting used to, is actually soft and non-damaging. I also feel extremely clean after using this because the bristles are so fine they can get into places my hard brush never could. Some tips: At first use it hurts the gums a bit and feels like it's just poking in between the tooth and gum too much, this is because you're gums haven't been properly stimulated before! You will get used to it over the course of a week. Press very softly, you'll have the urge to press hard because you want that hard bristle sensation but resist the urge! Pressing softly actually cleans better because it keeps the bristles straight and allows them to get in between teeth.
