Elmex Extra Soft Sensitive Tooth Brush

A specialised toothbrush from Elmex (Colgate-Palmolive/GABA International) for users with sensitive teeth and gums.

Elmex is owned by Colgate-Palmolive via its GABA International subsidiary (Therwil, Switzerland — acquired 2004). The brand has been sold since 1962 and is a pharmacy-grade oral-care line. Sensitive Extra Soft is designed for users with thin enamel, exposed dentine, or sensitive gums.

Benefits:
- Tooth sensitivity (cold/hot/sweet)
- Receding or bleeding gums
- Recent dental treatment recovery
- Daily use for users who need maximum gentleness

How to Use:
Brush twice daily for 2 minutes with VERY light pressure. Hold the brush at 45° to the gum line; use small circular motions, not back-and-forth scrubbing. Pair with a fluoride toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth (Elmex makes one: Sensitive Plus). Replace every 3 months.

Precautions:
- Use light pressure — pressing harder defeats the soft-bristle purpose
- If gums bleed for more than 2 weeks of gentle brushing, see a dentist
- Replace every 3 months or earlier if bristles fade/splay
- Don't share

Q&A:
Q: Will an extra-soft brush actually clean as well as medium?
A: Yes — when used correctly. Soft bristles bend slightly to reach into tight spaces and along the gum line. They're preferred by most dentists for daily use. Brushing TECHNIQUE (45° angle, light pressure, 2 minutes, 30 sec per quadrant) matters more than bristle hardness.

Q: Which toothpaste should I pair this with?
A: A fluoride toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. Elmex Sensitive Plus uses amine fluoride + potassium for desensitisation; other sensitivity toothpastes typically use potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride. All are clinically effective; pick whichever flavour you prefer.

Q: How is it different from other sensitivity toothbrushes?
A: Most sensitivity toothbrushes have similar designs. Elmex's bristle pattern is multi-level for cervical (gum-line) cleaning where sensitivity often starts. For sensitivity treatment, the toothpaste paired with the brush matters more than the brush itself.
