Electric toothbrushes with a soft or extra soft brushing mode are suitable for sensitive teeth or sensitive gums. With the sensitive brushing mode, the toothbrush makes less brushing movements than the regular brushing mode. This way, you clean less thoroughly, but a lot more comfortably. You can combine the soft brushing mode with a special brush attachment for sensitive teeth. These brush attachments have extra soft and thin bristles. This way, you burden your teeth or gums as little as possible when you brush your teeth.
