We recommend an electric toothbrush with a soft head on it, because less damage can be done to the teeth and the gums. If patients use anything harder than a soft head, sometimes it can wear away the natural tooth structure as well as the gums down from the tooth. And that can cause sensitivity and a bit of pain when provoked by hot, cold or sweet foods and liquids.
