Tooth sensitivity requires soft bristles, reduced pressure, and gentle cleaning.
Suitable Oral-B toothbrush models:
Oral-B Pro 3 – features a pressure sensor and comes with a Sensi UltraThin brush head
Oral-B iO Series 4 and 6 – includes a "Sensitive" mode and gentle magnetic motor cleaning
Oral-B Smart 4 or Genius X – offers personalized recommendations via the app
Best brush heads:
Sensi UltraThin – ultra-soft bristles with rounded tips
Sensitive Clean – gentle yet effective cleaning
GumCare – designed to protect inflamed or receding gums
It’s also recommended to use toothpaste for sensitive teeth (e.g., with potassium nitrate or arginine) and toothbrushes with pressure control to avoid enamel damage.
❗ If your brush still causes discomfort even with sensitive settings, and the manufacturer isn’t responsive, 👉submit a complaint on Xolvie👈. This can help push for improvements and ensure more care is given to users with sensitivity concerns!
