Product facts at a glance

• TePe Gentle Care™: TePe Gentle Care is a super soft toothbrush recommended for patients after oral surgery and for those with sore or delicate tissues, sensitive root surfaces, extremely dry mouth, and after radiotherapy. If you have gum sensitivity, recent oral surgery, or dry mouth, this brush minimizes irritation while still cleaning effectively.

  

• TePe Universal Care™: TePe Universal Care has a unique angled brush head to enable easy access to hard-to-reach areas, optimal for retroclined teeth, lingual braces, retainers, or implants. The angled head helps you clean around braces, retainers, and implants more easily than a standard straight brush.
