Does anyone know where I can buy a Hard/Firm Bristle Head Toothbrush ?

I've tried 'ALL' the shops and shopping centers including Shopee, Lazada and eBay. 

 Even when they advertise "Hard/Firm" they end up being Soft or at best Medium.

Thanks in advance.

you shouldn't be using a hard\firm toothbrush, use soft but brush longer.

That was my thought, too, when I read OP.

I find most toothbrushes here too hard, not soft enough.

You've had other advice and seem to have ignored it.

 

I have to say I'm with @Lorry here, every toothbrush I've bought has been much harder than expected. I buy my brushes at 7/11 and on the first attempt I made the mistake of buying a "soft" toothbrush which was extremely firm.

 

Turns out that super soft is the way to go for a genuinely soft toothbrush.

 

They also have "medium" available in some 7/11 stores which seems to be the top of the scale these days. I'm assuming "medium" toothbrushes are what used to be sold as "hard". I bought one once while having a senior moment and it felt like the bristles had been stuck together with glue.

You could always go for an electric toothbrush, which are always soft. They usually have 30 second warnings, and a 2 minute alarm. In the end, they don't clean better, but clean easier. Therefore, better for people who don't have good brushing technique.

Perharps I should change my original post to; 

"Are there any dental hygiene experts out there that can tell me how I should be brushing my teeth." ????

I guess I'll go back to looking on eBay or get somebody to send some from overseas.

It's not rocket surgery! Poor brushing technique is nearly always due to laziness. You must brush for a TIMED 2 minutes, not guessing. And when you turn your hand around, don't miss the canine area. And each tooth has 5 surfaces. And floss at night. And think about a "Waterpik", because all the brushing in the world won't get every bit of stringy food out, just the plaque.

You could try Curaprox toothbrushes (they sell on Lazada and have sales carts in Emquartier and Mega Bang Na)

Another ultrasoft toothbrush which I find works is that Berman brand which can be found in Big C and Lotus's

Could you please tell me what PSI the water pressure should be for the "Waterpik". And also what temperature the water should be in celcius. If not, Fahrenheit will be OK. I'll just open up another post to get someone to do the conversion for me. I'm sure that there'll be some Brainy dential hygiene scientists that can help out. ????

Thanks in advance

With all due respect, I think that you may have had 'another senior moment', because if you re-read the OP, your answer should have been 'no'.

You're welcome ????

I don't think it's my reading comprehension which is the issue here..
