As a leader in dental care, Fuchs has developed a wide range of brush styles and sizes to meet every consumer need and preference. Fuchs is the only major dental care company that has developed lines of both natural and nylon bristles. Each type has its own unique benefits:
Natural Bristles
brushes actually come from a special breed of boar raised solely for its bristles. The bristles are carefully harvested using a process similar to the methods employed in shearing sheep. The boar are extremely well cared-for; their bristles are harvested repeatedly during their long lifetimes.
The bristles have different degrees of stiffness, depending upon from which part of the body they originate. This is why natural bristles can be supplied in soft, medium and hard variations. Although most bristles are a light beige color,
occasionally some black bristles, noted for their stiffer texture, are used in natural bristle toothbrushes. Natural bristle brushes are generally considered to run one level softer than the comparable toothbrush in nylon. Thus, a soft natural brush is equivalent to an extra soft nylon one, a hard natural brush is equivalent to a medium nylon brush and so on.
Natural bristle brushes are especially useful for people who require soft-bristled brushes to avoid damaging
tooth enamel or sensitive gums.
Nylon Bristle brushes are the most common type of toothbrushes worldwide. Fuchs supplies very high quality nylon brushes with full “end rounding” and polishing of the bristles; this critical step ensures that there are no rough bristle ends to harm the gums or the enamel. Unlike other major toothbrush manufacturers, Fuchs utilizes a state of the art end-rounding and polishing process with superior quality control at every stage. Nylon bristles are generally clear or white in color, in contrast to the beige of most natural bristles.
If you look carefully at all Fuchs toothbrushes you will also see that they contain a very dense bristle field, a feature found only on the world’s highest quality toothbrushes. This density prolongs the life of the toothbrush as well as providing a more effective brushing action. Despite this superior quality, Fuchs nylon brushes are very competitively priced.
