Colgate wave gum comfort ultra soft

An ultra-soft toothbrush can clean the gumline with less mechanical pressure when used with a small, gentle circular motion.

The product name describes a toothbrush design, not a diagnosis or treatment. Soft, closely packed bristles remove plaque at the gingival margin when the brush is positioned correctly and replaced when worn.

Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, hold the handle lightly, and guide the bristles along the gumline and chewing surfaces. Clean between teeth separately because a toothbrush cannot reach every contact.

See a dentist if gums remain swollen or bleed, teeth are loose, or brushing causes pain, recession, or sensitivity. A different brush cannot remove tartar below the gumline.

Ask whether your brushing pressure is causing abrasion, whether you need interdental brushes, and whether gum inflammation or calculus requires professional treatment.
