cosmicwoman Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It seems to quote Watsons or Boots that its impossible in Thailand to buy a hard toothbrush. The nearest you can get is Medium or Medium soft whatever that is. Any one know different?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I order my toothbrushes - Curaden, a Swiss brand - from Australia. They are the best toothbrushes made. I discovered them when I lived in Europe and a Dental Hygienist supplied them to me . They last a good 6-8 months. You can select how soft or hard you like.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes, I buy mine from the USA. If you just like hard though, some of the cheapo Big C toothbrushes are hard as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amexpat Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 A hard toothbrush is good for household cleaning but don't put it in your mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yup, I've looked all over for a hard toothbrush and finally decided I just had to go with what the dentists recommend in all countries where I've seen a dentist -- a good soft toothbrush that is replaced monthly. I do cheat and get a medium toothbrush, but I find that if I replace them monthly they work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The downsides of hard, apart from enamel abrasion if you're doing it wrong, is that the bristles down't bend as much and get into the nooks 'n crannies. Can also make a mess of gums. Also, having a brush that lasts 6 months is probably not such a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRA Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 A hard toothbrush is not good for your gums and over time will do more damage than help...I would suggest anyone reading this only use soft toothbrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicwoman Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 They would match nicely with my bed of nails then... Yes, I buy mine from the USA. If you just like hard though, some of the cheapo Big C toothbrushes are hard as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
