Care, when it matters most

A Gentler Touch

Thoughtfully designed oral care for every stage.

A time for softer care

Hormonal changes can influence the body in subtle and sometimes unexpected ways. From energy levels to skin and mood, these shifts are a natural part of life and they can also affect oral comfort.

During certain phases, including menopause, gums may feel more sensitive or reactive than usual. This can make everyday brushing feel less comfortable, even when oral hygiene remains essential.

In these moments, care does not need to become more aggressive. It needs to become more considered.

From routine to ritual

Daily habits shape how care feels. When the body becomes more sensitive, the way we approach those habits matters.

A ritual is not about adding steps or striving for perfection. It is about slowing down, using lighter pressure and choosing tools that feel supportive rather than harsh.

In oral care, this can mean softer textures, thoughtful design and a brushing experience that feels calm and reassuring, even on more sensitive days.

Puberty

Hormonal changes during puberty can affect the gums, sometimes increasing sensitivity or inflammation. A gentle, consistent routine can help support healthy habits from the very beginning.

Menstruation

Throughout the menstrual cycle, hormonal fluctuations can make the gums feel more reactive or sensitive at certain times. Understanding these changes can help you adapt your routine with ease.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, hormonal changes can impact gum health, sometimes leading to increased sensitivity or inflammation. Gentle, thoughtful care can help support comfort throughout this time.

Postpartum

After pregnancy, the body gradually returns to balance, and oral health may still feel different for a while. A simple, supportive routine can help ease this transition.

Menopause

During menopause, hormonal changes can affect the gums, often increasing sensitivity or dryness. A gentle, consistent routine can help support comfort and maintain balance.

Exploring the link between hormonal health and oral wellbeing

In partnership with The House of Hormones, Curaprox initiated a 30-day inHouse study exploring whether gentler brushing could support gum comfort during perimenopause and menopause.

What women noticed

From first use

100% noticed the brush felt softer than their usual toothbrush
90% described it as gentle or very soft

After 30 days

75% experienced less gum sensitivity or bleeding
65% reported improved gum health

The study highlighted that gentler brushing can support comfort, confidence and awareness during times of hormonal change.

OH MY GOODNESS, WHERE DO I START!

“For the past few years my gums have bled so much whilst brushing. I felt so disheartened knowing I took great care of my dental hygiene. My dentist recommended certain mouth washes, flossing etc...but nothing ever worked, never once was it suggested that my bleeding gums could be menopause related (I am 49 and 4 years in menopause). All I can say is WOW this toothbrush has been a game changer for me, it's like a miracle!! Since I have been using it my bleeding gums have completely stopped!“
