Product Information

When it comes to brushing your teeth, there are a few simple rules that you must follow. People should brush their teeth using a soft bristled toothbrush for at least two minutes, twice a day. They should also refrain from brushing immediately after eating or drinking anything acidic, as this causes the enamel to be more vulnerable to wear over time and can lead to duller and yellowing teeth. The Sensodyne Daily Care Toothbrush has been specially created for the twice daily cleaning and brushing of sensitive teeth. Its soft bristles are designed to be gentle on sensitive teeth and gums, while its small toothbrush head helps to effectively remove plaque in even the hardest to reach areas of the teeth and mouth.

For most people, a medium or soft toothbrush with a small head and compact bristles is the best tool to keep their teeth clean and healthy, as long as they are brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. 1 There are two main types of toothbrushes on the market: manual and electric. While some electric toothbrushes use batteries, many now come with rechargeable bases.Manual toothbrushes are the most basic type of toothbrush, and they come in various shapes, sizes, and bristle types. They're typically more affordable and easier to find in local stores. Not only can acid erosion threaten the long-term health of your teeth, it can also affect their appearance. As it wears away your enamel over time, acid erosion can expose the dentine layer underneath, causing a dull, yellow-ish discolouration in your teeth. If your enamel has been eroded, you may also start to experience sensitivity or pain when consuming hot and cold food and drinks, or find that the biting edges of your teeth are becoming worn down. Unfortunately, enamel loss can also mean that you are at a greater risk of developing cavities (holes in your teeth) later on. 1,2 A regular oral health care routine is essential for helping to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against erosion. This includes brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste 3 – ideally one that has been specially designed to help protect your tooth enamel from further damage, like Pronamel.

During testing, our testers unboxed the toothbrushes and added toothpaste. After setting a timer for two minutes, they began brushing all surfaces of their teeth, paying particular attention to areas that are typically difficult to reach. They took note of how comfortable the bristles were, how easy the toothbrush was to maneuver, and whether they felt like their teeth were adequately clean afterward.Elizabeth Graves, registered dental hygienist and founder of Take Home Smile, a dental health education company, also recommends everyone use a soft-bristled toothbrush when brushing. "Medium and hard bristles will wear away at the gum line and lead to recession and tooth sensitivity," explains Graves. Some may prefer smaller handles for easier maneuverability, while others find larger handles more comfortable. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference.
