answers 0:Is it better to use a soft, medium, or hard bristled toothbrush?answers 1:With tooth decay they usually fill it with some type of amalgam.With a cracked tooth they would probably pull it.A cap would be ok as long as the crack isn't to bad.answers 2:It is always better to use a soft toothbrush. Using medium or hard t.b. is like using a scouring pad on your gums and teeth. You can literally "scrub" away your teeth and gums. I personally recommend rotary (spinning) electric toothbrushes for my patients who prefer to use medium or hard toothbrushes. The electric t.b.'s remove up to 50% more plaque than a manual brush, and give a "just polished" feel. If you are a heavy handed brusher, the electric t.b.'s tend to slow down if you are pressing to hard and won't allow you ! to damage your teeth.

The "standard" soft bristle is 0.007" in diameter. This is the diameter that will slip under the edge of healthy gums without doing any harm. They will also get into the grooves and crevices between your teeth deeper than the thicker (hard) bristles.
