A cool drink, a hot coffee, or a small piece of sweets – what's completely unproblematic for many people can be a real challenge for people with sensitive teeth. If even a breath of air in the mouth causes pain, there's usually more to it: exposed tooth necks, beginning gum recession, or even the slightest damage to the enamel .
But what do you do when even brushing your teeth becomes torture? The answer is: real ultrasound . In this article, you'll learn why our new emmi-dent Slim is the toothbrush of choice, especially for sensitive teeth.
Tooth sensitivity – where does it really come from?
A warm tea, a cold apple juice, or a sweet snack: What's an everyday pleasure for most people can be a real test for people with sensitive teeth. What tingles pleasantly on the tongue often triggers stabbing pain in sensitive areas of the teeth – sudden, unpleasant, and often without warning.
In fact, sensitive teeth are widespread. According to studies, approximately one in three adults regularly experiences such pain reactions – especially to temperature stimuli, pressure, or certain foods. And in most cases, this has a clear cause: exposed tooth necks .
This sensitive region at the junction between the crown and root of the tooth is normally covered by gum tissue. However, if this tissue is pushed back or injured, the neck of the tooth is exposed—and with it the tiny canals that lead directly to the dental nerve. These canals are precisely what make the tooth so sensitive to external influences.
But what causes exposed tooth necks in the first place? The reasons are varied:
- Gum recession : Often the result of chronic inflammation (such as periodontitis) or age-related tissue loss.
- Teeth grinding (bruxism) : If you unconsciously press or grind your teeth at night, you not only put strain on the tooth enamel but also on the gums.
- Acid attacks from diet : Fruit juices, soft drinks, vinegar or acidic fruit attack the tooth enamel and make it susceptible to erosion.
- Incorrect brushing technique or hard brush heads : Too much pressure when brushing your teeth or using the wrong brush can irritate the gums and expose the neck of the tooth.
What all these causes have in common: They weaken the tooth's natural defenses and make it susceptible to stimuli that were previously completely unproblematic. The result is hypersensitivity, which often worsens with conventional dental care.
Why conventional cleaning can make everything worse
People suffering from sensitive teeth usually instinctively reach for a softer toothbrush. The idea behind this is logical: less pressure, less friction, less pain. Unfortunately, even with soft bristles, one crucial factor remains: mechanical stress . Every brushing stroke, no matter how carefully performed, rubs against the tooth surfaces and gums. Especially where the neck of the tooth is already exposed or the gums have receded, this friction can cause micro-injuries and further increase sensitivity.
Electric toothbrushes often promise thoroughness through vibration or rotation – but these very movements can also be counterproductive for sensitive teeth. The rapid vibrations further irritate the gums, can stress the surface of the tooth enamel, and further strain inflamed areas.
What sensitive teeth need in this case is a cleaning that works completely without friction. No movement, no pressure, no unnecessary irritation – but maximum effectiveness. This is precisely where our new emmi-dent Slim comes in. It works with true ultrasonic technology – completely silent, completely vibration-free – and cleans contactlessly using millions of microbubbles. The result: a pleasant, painless care experience that protects teeth instead of irritating them.
Our emmi-dent Slim – Ultrasound redefined
With the emmi-dent Slim, we're presenting more than just a new toothbrush—we're presenting a true innovation in daily oral hygiene. Designed for people with the highest standards of comfort, precision, and tolerance, this model combines modern technology with intuitive handling. It represents a new way of brushing teeth: touch-free, gentle, yet deeply effective .
At the heart of our enhanced emmi-dent Slim is true ultrasonic technology – and this fundamentally distinguishes it from conventional sonic toothbrushes. Instead of vibrating or rotating, it generates up to 96 million air vibrations per minute . These high-frequency vibrations activate the specially developed ultrasonic toothpaste, generating countless microbubbles that penetrate even hard-to-reach areas like interdental spaces and gum pockets .
Not only the technology is impressive, but also the design:
Our emmi-dent Slim truly lives up to its name – it's particularly slim, lightweight, and ergonomically designed . This makes it not only comfortable to use, but also the perfect solution for people with limited mobility, the elderly, or anyone who values a lightweight, elegant toothbrush .
In short:
It combines the best of technology and comfort – for dental care that you don't notice, but see and feel every day.
The advantages for sensitive teeth – noticeably gentle, noticeably safe
Anyone with sensitive teeth knows that queasy feeling before brushing all too well. Even the slightest touch can be unpleasant, and conventional toothbrushes—whether manual or electric—often cause more irritation than cleaning. This is precisely where our emmi-dent Slim comes in, offering a whole new level of dental care: gentle, deeply penetrating, and completely painless.
Pain-free brushing – completely without friction:
Because our emmi-dent Slim doesn't have any bristle movement, there's no mechanical pressure on your teeth or gums. You simply place the brush against the tooth surface, and the ultrasonic microbubbles do the rest. This allows you to thoroughly clean your teeth without causing painful irritation.
Deep cleaning – even where others can’t reach:
Ultrasound creates tiny microbubbles that penetrate into the interdental spaces and gum pockets—even into areas you can never reach with conventional bristles. This creates a cleaning effect that extends far beyond the visible surface—completely contactless.
Gentle care for gums and exposed tooth necks:
Especially when dealing with receding gums or sensitive tooth necks, special care is required. The emmi-dent Slim elegantly circumvents this problem: It cleans effectively without irritating the sensitive tissue – while simultaneously supporting the regeneration and maintenance of healthy mucous membranes.
Fewer bacteria – less inflammation:
Ultrasound works not only mechanically but also biologically: The vibrations disrupt the biofilm and specifically reduce the number of harmful bacteria. This helps prevent inflammation and thwart the spread of periodontitis and caries at an early stage.
Ideal for special requirements:
Our emmi-dent Slim is ideal for people with exposed tooth necks, sensitive implants, bridges, or gums with periodontal damage . Its contactless cleaning makes it the ideal solution for anyone who wants to maintain their dental health gently yet effectively.
The perfect complement: Why the right toothpaste is crucial for ultrasound
Our Slim toothpaste only achieves its full effect when used in conjunction with the right toothpaste. What many people don't realize is that conventional toothpastes often contain fine grinding particles – so-called abrasives – which are certainly useful with conventional toothbrushes, but can be counterproductive when used with ultrasonic toothbrushes.
The emmi-dent ultrasonic toothpaste was specially developed for the requirements of true ultrasonic cleaning. It deliberately avoids aggressive abrasives and instead relies on a particularly gentle yet highly effective formulation. This optimally supports the formation of the millions of microbubbles that make the cleaning effect of emmi®-dent Slim possible in the first place.
What makes our special emmi-dent toothpaste so special?
- Free of abrasive particles: No abrasives – ideal for sensitive teeth, dentures or exposed tooth necks
- Optimized for microbubble formation: Promotes the effect of ultrasound and ensures deep, gentle cleaning
- Pleasantly mild taste: No irritating spicy ingredients – perfect for people with sensitive gums or mucous membranes
- Caring & regenerating: Supports the remineralization of tooth enamel and soothes sensitive gums
The combination of true ultrasound technology and a matching toothpaste is the key to a new form of dental care – gentle, modern, and noticeably effective. A harmonious duo that takes your daily oral hygiene to a whole new level.
Ultrasound instead of pain – even in the long term
Many people with sensitive teeth subconsciously avoid brushing or shorten their cleaning time – resulting in plaque, bacteria, and inflammation. Our emmi-dent Slim – ultrasonic toothbrush for sensitive teeth puts an end to this: It enables daily care without fear of pain – quiet, efficient, and comfortable.
Dental appointments are not only more relaxing, but also less necessary – because prevention finally works properly.
Whether you suffer from tooth sensitivity, want to protect exposed tooth necks, or are looking for particularly gentle care for implants and bridges – our emmi-dent Slim is made for just that.
