Curaprox believes plaque removal using an appropriate toothbrush is the first line in preventative care. However, realising that hard bristles can cause gum damage, the company have developed a range of soft bristle brushes for effective, gentle cleaning.

The CS1560 is a perfect introduction for patients, featuring a softer head than on traditional brushes. The CS3960, with 3960 filaments, is an intermediate brush which will clean effectively while the patient learns to exert less pressure, helping to keep the gum-line intact. The CS5460 has a dense number of fine filaments, making it the softest in the series. Finally, the CS Surgical is designed for post-surgical plaque control, with over 12,000 filaments. There is no risk of gum trauma as only smallest amount of pressure is needed.
