I am using a hard toothbrush. Is it safe? Does a hard toothbrush destroy enamel?

No. The Enamel portion of our teeth Is the hardest structure of the human body. The gum tissues and the root structure are a completely different story. The use of a hard toothbrush in combination with the gritty material that is in most toothpaste will cause damage to the softer
structures in the mouth over time.
structures in the mouth over time.
A harder toothbrush does not necessarily destroy” enamel, but it can cause unwanted wear on your teeth, especially at the gum line. It is best to use a soft toothbrush with a gentle, circular brushstroke.
Always use a soft toothbrush.
You may get some toothbrush abrasion close to your gums which could cause some recession of your gums. A soft brush is better. Thanks.
