Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health Manual Toothbrush —

I was offered an Oral B CROSS ACTION PRO HEALTH MANUAL TOOTHBRUSH in return for my unbiased review once I had used it for a while.

One of my pet peeves is that they have made it very difficult to brush with hard brushes- which I prefer. They clean better and cause better gum stimulation. I have noticed that many people who spout off the benefits of soft tooth brushes because of gum damage, etc, often reveal over time that they have those very problems despite their usage of only soft brushes.

The CROSS ACTION PRO-HEALTH toothbrush was a little bit impressive at first- it did seem to clean the teeth a little bit despite being too soft, but after a couple of weeks, I noticed that my teeth were not getting clean enough for me.

In fact, I went back to a hard brush ( I stashed them before they became hard to find) and noticed with relief that my teeth and gums were in much better shape once I started CLEANING them again.

Despite the fancy rhetoric of this and many of the new toothbrushes, I am not impressed. The rubbery bristles in it are the only thing I liked. If the bristles came in a harder stiffness, I would take another look at this brush.

The handle was nice, the bristle design was good, but if it doesn't clean the teeth, then all of that means very little to me.

As it is now, I did not like using it- it just does not clean well enough for me.
