What are some dentists recommended toothbrushes?

Soft toothbrush: The brand name of a toothbrush is not as important as making sure you use a soft toothbrush. This is important to prevent wear and abrasion.

Toothbrushes: Any major brand works fine. More importantly, keep it simple: 1. Only use soft, no medium\hard 2. Circular motion, 45 degree angle at gum line 3. Spend 2 minutes brushing and flossing after meals.
