Colgate Double Action Medium Toothbrush is a manual toothbrush with V-shaped bristles and a tongue cleaner. Medium bristles are the firmness NHS guidance recommends for most people, so it works as a straightforward everyday brush.

Key Features

• Medium bristles: NHS guidance says medium or soft bristles are best for most people, so this firmness suits everyday brushing for most adults.
• V-shaped bristles: The bristles are arranged in a V shape, which is where the Double Action name comes from.
• Tongue cleaner: The brush includes a tongue cleaner, so one brush covers both your teeth and your tongue.
• Single brush: Each pack contains 1 toothbrush.

How long should I brush for?

The NHS advises brushing for about 2 minutes, twice a day. Brush last thing before bed, because night-time brushing is important, and on 1 other occasion.

Should I rinse my mouth after brushing?

No. After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste but do not rinse straight away, as rinsing washes away the concentrated fluoride left on your teeth.

Which toothpaste should I use with this toothbrush?

The NHS advises adults to use a toothpaste containing at least 1,350 parts per million (ppm) fluoride. The fluoride concentration is shown on the toothpaste packaging.

Brush all the surfaces of all your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, twice a day for about 2 minutes each time.

Children need to be helped or supervised when brushing until they are at least 7 years old.
