Soft vs. Medium Toothbrush Bristles: How to Choose the Right Toothbrush for You

When it comes to choosing a toothbrush, many people assume that firmer bristles mean a better clean. But the truth is, it’s not about firmness—it’s about technique and bristle quality.

At Nada, we’re all about making brushing better, and that starts with using the right bristles. Our dentist-approved soft bristles aren’t just gentle—they’re designed to give you a deep, effective clean without damage. Here’s why they’re all you need:

1. 17x Slimmer Bristle Tips for a Deeper Clean

Nada’s ultra-fine bristles are up to 17 times slimmer at the tip compared to standard bristles. This allows them to reach deeper into gum lines and between teeth, sweeping away plaque and food debris without the harsh scrubbing of firmer bristles.

2. Tapered “Floss-Tip” Bristles: Like Floss, But in a Brush

Our soft bristles are designed with a tapered floss-tip shape, meaning they reach into tight spaces where plaque loves to hide. This means a more thorough clean in places where regular bristles—and even some floss—can struggle to reach.

3. Dentist-Approved for Healthy Teeth & Gums

Unlike medium or hard bristles that can cause micro-damage to your enamel, Nada’s soft bristles are gentle yet effective, removing plaque without excessive wear on your teeth. They also help protect your gum line, reducing the risk of gum recession and irritation over time.

The Bottom Line: Soft Bristles = A Smarter Clean

Brushing shouldn’t feel like a battle against your teeth. With Nada’s soft bristles, you’re getting:

A deep, plaque-fighting clean
Less wear on enamel for long-term oral health
Gentle care for gums, reducing irritation & sensitivity

Still think you need medium bristles for a proper clean? Nada’s soft bristles do the job—better, safer, and smarter.
