“I have been searching for a replacement for the plain, now-vintage Oral-B brushes for a LONG time, so I was ecstatic to find your product. I ordered them and have been very pleased with them. Thank you for offering them! I’m also very happy that the plastic handles are made from cellulose and not petroleum! Am passing the word along about these and even giving one to my dentist!”

“After the 40-tuft toothbrush was discontinued, it took several years of searching to find a replacement. At 65, my teeth are in good condition primarily because of my brushing habits. The new, small headed, fancy tooth brushes simply do not do an effective job and they damage my gums. For a while I used pharmacy brands, but they were cheaply made and the handles often broke. Continuing my search for a way to preserve my oral hygiene, I finally found Plain-Toothbrush.com. I have tried a variety of their brushes and decided that the “soft” is perfect. The handle is stronger and thicker than pharmacy brands and I am really pleased with their effectiveness and sturdiness. I would highly recommend these brushes to anyone seeking an alternative to the expensive, ineffective and weird brushes available on today’s market. Furthermore, I would recommend dealing with Plain-Toothbrush.com and SoundFeelings.com. Without my urging, they contacted me with an alternative billing option that saved a lot of money. It is nice to deal with honest people who care.”

“As you probably know by now I am particular about everything. Your Toothbrushes feel good in the hand and do a great job of brushing my teeth. After a month of close scrutiny and usage, I am very pleased. The tight grouping of the bristles combined with the longer handle gives better leverage and does a great brushing job! I am pleased with the brushes, the price paid and your service!”

“If finding you is not a mirage or hallucination, this is the happiest day of my life. When I saw that ‘normal’ toothbrushes were gradually and mysteriously disappearing from the market, I stocked up big time. But, alas, they finally ran out, and I am in shock at what we are expected to brush our teeth with now. I’m assuming that unless all the traditional makers have gone insane, they are just trying to force us to buy electric brushes. And, I, for one, do not want an electric toothbrush! I surely cannot be the only one who feels this way.”

“I am delirious with happiness over my toothbrush purchase from you and IMMENSELY SATISFIED!!!!! You definitely need to extend your product to the east because a product like this does NOT EXIST in stores here!! (All kids stuff, fat curved handles, with multi-colored, multi-sized brisels, etc, etc.) Your toothbrushes are a great, vital service – and a great health-promoting idea – especially for the aging population (geriatrics), which was my specialty. I can’t wait to place my next order!!!!”

“Glad I found you guys on Amazon. I was previously buying the plain old-fashioned tooth brush at my local CVS. The brushes lasted about a month, and I was happy. Then they changed everything, manufacturing the toothbrush in China. That toothbrush lasted less than a week, and has since been discontinued. Thanks again.”

—Mike S., Mount Airy, MD

“Thank you so much for providing these perfect toothbrushes to the world. They were discontinued, of course, because they are too simple and so much cheaper than the ruffled ridges bristles that are on the market today. Plus, the dentists are pushing these hideous instruments. I absolutely hate the new toothbrushes that the dentist promotes. Doesn’t he know they hurt my gums?”

—Leslie MacDonald,

“Your tooth-brushes really are amazing. I’ve been using the same one now for a few months…and it remains strong and not worn-down at all!”

“TOOTHBRUSH, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I have been looking for the regular old fashioned toothbrushes that we used to use. They were so effective and gentle at cleaning my teeth, and they never hurt my gums. The newer store-bought toothbrushes are terrible. They cut my gums, hurt the mouth, and my teeth never really felt clean. What a blessing it is to find the regular old fashioned tooth brushes! I purchased the extra soft, and they are perfect. No more sore gums and mouth, and my teeth feel really clean. You have a customer for life! I hope you never stop making these toothbrushes. These are the best toothbrushes on the Planet!”

“The brush I had been using was too harsh. Since I began using the extra soft toothbrush from my son’s company, my gums in a particular place started to heal!”

—Peter Mark Richman, Actor/Writer

 

“I just got finished using your toothbrushes for the second time and I must say, they are a dream! So much better than those rock-n-roll toothbrushes being sold everywhere else. My gums aren’t torn up tonight and that rough, dirty patch on my back molars that those other toothbrushes never got, is now smaller than before. The brushing experience is divine. It was more like massaging than brushing. I don’t understand how those other brushes could hurt my gums so bad and cause so much tooth sensitivity, yet still leave so much crud! Your brush head is not tapered or angled or anything, yet it seemed to fit well into even the tightest corners of my mouth. Maybe that’s because the head isn’t burdened with extra long bristles, flared tufts, rubber pads or any other useless nonsense that makes those other toothbrushes so ungainly. I had no trouble cleaning the backs of my molars or any other difficult places. I have three crowded teeth in the front of my mouth that have always been troublesome to clean, but your brush had no problem. Thank you so much for bringing sense back to the toothbrush market!” (See below for update.)

“Just writing in with an update. I’ve been working with a variety of your toothbrushes for awhile now and just wanted to say that the extra-hard brushes are, hands down, the absolute BEST for my fragile, receding gums and tooth sensitivity! First, some background. Like everything else I buy, good toothbrushes kept disappearing from the store racks. I’m not sure how it all works, but it seems as if the CEOs scan my receipts looking for products to discontinue. If I buy it, it disappears quickly. For years, I would get the most boring toothbrushes on the rack. A year later, they’d be gone and rock-n-roll toothbrushes would replace them. Despite my best efforts, I found myself using bizarrely shaped brushes with bright stripes, rubber nubs and maybe a few sprigs of actual bristles thrown in just to fool me. My teeth got grungy and my gums receded badly because the fancy brushes simply would not clean. I went to the dentist, who didn’t have much to offer that was constructive. I stumbled across your brushes as I searched the web desperately for a solution. They were a vast improvement, but the soft bristles really didn’t get my teeth clean enough. So I was juggling between brushes. Finally one day, I got your X-Hard brush, the one marked “Not for teeth!” I figured, “what do I have to lose?” At first, brushing required careful attention so that I didn’t hurt my gums. But I noticed that those stubborn deposits of yuck at the base of my back molars were gone on the first brushing! What’s more remarkable is that my gums are less sensitive now, less red and seem to be returning! What’s more, the random sensitivity I endured for so many, many years has gone!! Here’s what I think is going on. Your gum line is an interesting area where your tooth enamel thins out and the gums begin. In this area, the nerve is closer to the surface of the tooth and easier to sensitize. The rock-n-roll brushes always have elongated bristles in this area, which causes all the problems I was experiencing. If you’ve ever used a dish brush, you know that bristles clean most effectively when they are almost straight up and down, as opposed to being over-compressed and flattened out. The long bristles on the rock-n-roll brushes flatten out along the gum line and don’t clean. This allows bacteria to flourish, eating at your gums. Worse, the long bristles act like countless little spears stabbing at your gums where they are most delicate. Finally, the bristles over-stimulate the tooth in this area where the enamel is thin, leading to sensitivity. It’s almost as if the fancy brushes are specially designed to wreak the most havoc on your teeth. By contrast, the bristles on your flat brushes flatten in the middle of the tooth surface. Along the gum line, they remain relatively straight, which yields maximal cleaning and minimal over-stimulation. THANK YOU for supplying something I need without playing the dumb games.”
