Getting a good start on proper dental hygiene is vital to ensure clean, healthy teeth as an adult. Fuchs is dedicated to meeting the special toothbrush needs of children. Of primary importance is an easy-to-grip, firm handle that will not slip out of a child’s grasp. The Fuchs Junior series of toothbrushes has been specially designed to meet this need; it features a special handle grip tailored to small hands. In addition, the brush has a compact bristle field (choose nylon or natural bristles) that ensures thorough cleaning action, even in hard-to-reach areas of the child’s mouth. Start your child off on the road to good dental health with a Fuchs Junior toothbrush.

Natural Bristles
Natural Bristle 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.
