Colgate Double Action Medium Toothbrushes are manual toothbrushes with V-shaped bristles and a tongue cleaner. The bristles are medium, the firmness NHS guidance recommends for most people, and each twin pack contains 2 brushes.

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 you can clean your tongue with the same brush you use on your teeth.
• Twin pack: Each pack contains 2 toothbrushes.

Is a medium toothbrush right for me?

For most adults, NHS guidance is that medium or soft bristles are best. If you are unsure which firmness suits you, ask a dental healthcare professional.

Is a manual toothbrush as good as an electric one?

Yes. The NHS says manual and electric toothbrushes are equally good, as long as you clean all the surfaces of all your teeth and use fluoride toothpaste.

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 your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes each time. Brush last thing before bed, and on 1 other occasion. After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste and avoid rinsing your mouth straight away.

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