Is this a soft, gentle toothbrush? My previous Sonicare felt like a sledgehammer on my teeth.

I don't find it too hard. But it's not as soft as my last one. I have it on the lowest setting when I brush my teeth and that seems to work the best.

You can get the soft brushes. That is what my husband uses. This is our second machine. They last a long time.

It's a firm brush, I have no problems and it has a hard brushing sensor on it

This device has 3 speeds and also features a flashing light that indicates if you are pressing too hard on your teeth. I have not found the brush to be too hard on my teeth.

I would say 'regular'. If it helps, there is a Amber light that will flash if you press the brush too hard to your teeth. At the start the brush takes a little bit of getting used to. You might research if the replaceable brushes come in different firmnesses? This brush is also adjustable speed, so if one speed is too much, you can slow it down.

I did not experience any soreness, did you adjust it to fit as snugly as possible? Mine fits on the teeth but not low enough to reach my bottom gums. I am continually surprised it's still in my mouth in the morning.

I just purchased the Oral-B Dual Clean Replacement head. They are quite good but I would not call them a soft brush. In face, they are a little stiff when new. I don't know if Oral-B sells a soft head.

I used the following for Sensitive Teeth and they work perfectly fine: Philips Sonicare Standard Ultra Soft Sensitive, 3 Brush Heads

It is the mildest electric toothbrush that I have personally used. Maybe you could ask your dental hygienist for their recommendations too.

Great question. For now Sonicare only manufactures one type of brsuh head and they do not specify the firmness. As a dentist I would say the that the bristles most closely resemble "soft" manual toothbrushes. The cool thing is that the toothbrush handle has five different settings with the lowest setting being "Sensative". Even patients with sensative gums should be able to tolerate this setting well.

I am out of clarisonic brushes so I can't compare but I think not. I am sensitive to noise so I think if there had been a marked change I would have noticed. Further, I did have a funny, high pinched noise with my generic brushes on my sonic are toothbrush and it did break. I am not having that with these brushes on the clarisonic. Honestly...I think they are better than the ones clarisonic makes. Not better for the price just better. For example I feel that when I 'lock' them into place it is a tighter fit than the clarisonic ones. In fairness, this is my first package and I have only used the first head but I am very pleased and have had no foreshadowing of poor quality control.

I really don't know. All I can say is that the bristles are very, very soft.

Yes the bristles are nice and soft. Im very happy with this brush and I do recommend it. I am a makeup artist and my clients like how soft it feels when I'm applying their foundation.

I've been using them so long It's hard to remember back to when I used regular tooth brushes that were classified as soft and medium. However, assuming my memory is correct, I'd actually call these somewhere in the medium/hard catagory. Probably in my opinion half way between medium and hard.

It is just like any other oral b toothbrush. It does not vibrate. The brush head spin clockwise and and anti clock wise. You get more control on the area you want to brush. This might be helpful to the sensitive gums.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a dry brush. I find it to be just fine for me, I like soft bristles because I have sensitive skin and cannot take the harsher bristles. It is great in the shower and offers me the skin sloughing I was looking for.

Bristle firmness. Dentists usually recommend soft so it is gentler on the gums.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

Are the bristle very soft or more stiff? The soft bristle do not penetrate my hair well and makes it fuzzy and frustrating. thank you.

It vibrates a bit differently. I've got no clue how much difference those different settings actually make, but I don't think that's the reason to buy this toothbrush anyways.

Yes, I have very sensitive teeth and gums, and I have been using these toothbrush heads ever since they were first sold on Amazon. I have always used a Sonicare, from their original toothbrush many years ago. This new Sonicare has a Sensitive setting, which is perfect for my teeth and gums.
