Toothbrush CURAPROX CURAPROX CS 5460 “Ultra soft” - reviews
I became acquainted with the products of the Swiss company CURADENT several years ago during one of my European trips. At first, the stand with the company’s products in the shopping center attracted my attention with its pleasing design, and then the brushes themselves attracted my attention with their colorful colors. I bought a pack of three, so to speak, “for testing” - before the moment of purchase I had never heard of this manufacturer, and no wonder: in Russia the brand began to distribute more or less actively through networks of dental clinics and pharmacies not so long ago.
Having tried the brush that same evening, I experienced real ecstasy: THIS IS IT!!! What I subconsciously expected from a toothbrush for so long, but could never get from either professional or, especially, mass-market products: it cleans your teeth perfectly without damaging your gums!
I’ve always believed that plaque on teeth can be removed efficiently using an exceptionally hard brush with elongated bristles that reach all hard-to-reach places. I used these for the time being - until the problem of gum sensitivity appeared. The hard bristles became unbearable, my gums were bleeding, I had to switch to professional, very soft brushes. However, gum-friendly bristles did not completely solve the problem of plaque. I had to constantly look for a compromise between dental health and gum health =(
CURAPROX 5460 “Ultrasoft” brush solves BOTH problems at once! It cleans teeth superbly thanks to a considerable number of soft elastic bristles (the numbers in the name of the brush model indicate exactly the number of these same magical bristles: 3960 “Supersoft” of medium hardness and 1560 “Soft” the stiffest of the entire line - I tried them all, but settled on the softest option, because it cleans plaque from my teeth best). The bristles (even in the simply “Soft” version, not to mention “Ultra”) are really SOFT, and do not cause any discomfort to either the gums or sensitive teeth (a friend with bare necks of her teeth is saved only by them). A very convenient cap that covers the head of the brush allows you to carry it with you in your purse without fear of getting the contents of the bag wet and dirtying the brush itself.
And - I’ll tell you a secret, friends: the dentist who cares about the health of my smile learned about this brush from me and now she also uses only it
I recommend to all! The price is a little higher than average, but when you buy an economical pack of 3 pieces, it turns out to be profitable, and there is enough for all family members at once! And treating teeth after poor oral hygiene is much more expensive
Good luck to everyone and healthy strong teeth!
PS: by the way, I never throw away used brushes - they are great for cleaning and polishing jewelry (girls, take note!) and for some other household manipulations.
