If you have sensitive gums

UltraSoft brushes for dental care

Some of us have more sensitive gums than others. It can be due to many things. For example, children who change teeth may need an extra soft toothbrush that does not bother the sore gums. Adults can also have delicate gums. This can be due to illness or the after-effects of treatments such as chemotherapy or dental surgery. Here, tenderness is typically experienced in the gums and mucous membranes of the mouth.

That is why TANDEX has a number of extra, extra soft tooth- and interdental brushes in the range, which keep delicate mouths clean. These brushes have the designation: "UltraSoft".

Good dental hygiene is even more important if you are ill

The health of our teeth greatly affects the health of the rest of the body. Oral bacteria can contribute to infections in the rest of the body, including the lungs, especially if you have a weakened immune system. For example, if you have sores or cracks in your mouth or suffer from dry mouth, brushing your teeth with a regular toothbrush can be painful. Here you should use an extra soft toothbrush, which is still effective enough to remove impurities and keep your teeth clean. There is also toothpaste and gel, which are intended for sensitive gums. Disinfectant mouthwash can also help keep bacteria down in a diseased oral cavity.

TANDEX UltraSoft – the extra, extra soft brush

In collaboration with dentists, TANDEX has developed an extra, extra soft tooth- and interdental brush that can be used by, for example, cancer patients or by people who have had major dental operations. The soft brushes are gentle on the sore gums while being effective enough to remove coatings and dirt from the teeth.

TANDEX UltraSoft is available both as a toothbrush, interdental brush and as a SOLO version for those places where it is extra difficult to get to. See the full range of soft toothbrushes on this page by entering this word in the search box above: UltraSoft.
