SoftTouch Toothbrush

What SoftTouch is, how the nano bristles work, and who it's designed for.

SoftTouch is Micotix's flagship toothbrush, built for adults with sensitive gums, gum recession, or post-dental care needs. It uses 20,000 ultra-fine micro-bristles to clean thoroughly without the harshness of a standard toothbrush.

A standard toothbrush uses far fewer, coarser bristles, so pressure concentrates on fewer points and can irritate sensitive gums. SoftTouch's 20,000 ultra-fine nano bristles distribute pressure evenly across the tooth surface, so it stays gentle even on post-treatment or highly reactive teeth.

No. SoftTouch is a manual toothbrush. Its gentleness comes from the bristle design itself, ultra-fine nano bristles and tapered tips, not from a motor or vibration.

SoftTouch is designed for adults managing sensitive gums, gum recession, or post-dental care needs, or for anyone who wants a genuinely soft, thorough clean.

SoftTouch's tapered bristle tips flex along the gumline to clean thoroughly while minimizing the friction that contributes to gum recession over time. It's not a medical treatment, so for active gum recession we recommend using it alongside your dentist's guidance.

Handle length is 7.2 in and head length is 0.9 in, sized for a comfortable, controlled grip during a normal brushing routine.

Like any toothbrush, replace SoftTouch every 3 to 4 months, or sooner if the bristles start to fray, to keep it cleaning effectively.

Kids' Electric Toothbrush

Micotix also makes a 360-degree, hands-free electric toothbrush built for toddlers and young kids.

It's an electric toothbrush built for kids, with a U-shaped, 360-degree head that surrounds the teeth so it cleans every surface (front, back, top, and bottom) at the same time. It's designed for toddlers ages 2 to 6 and bigger kids ages 6 to 12, and it's built to turn brushing from a nightly negotiation into a 60-second routine.

A standard toothbrush cleans one small section of the mouth at a time, which means a squirming toddler often ends up with only the front teeth brushed. The U-shaped head wraps around the full arch of teeth, so it reaches the front, back, top, and bottom surfaces at once. Your child bites down gently and the brush does the rest, no need to angle or aim it tooth by tooth.

Yes. Once your child bites down on the U-shaped head, the brush does the brushing motion on its own. You (or an older kid) simply guide it gently around the mouth rather than scrubbing tooth by tooth, which is what makes a full clean possible in about 60 seconds.

About 60 seconds per use, morning and night, is what the kids' electric toothbrush is designed around. That's the whole routine: bite down, guide it around the mouth, done.

Three vibration intensities let you match the brush to your child's comfort level and age, starting gentler for toddlers or first-time users and stepping up once they're used to the sensation.

Start on the gentlest of the 3 vibration modes for a child's first few sessions or for sensitive teeth and gums, then move to a higher setting once they're comfortable with the sensation.

It's exactly the problem this toothbrush is built to solve. Because the head cleans every tooth at once and the session only takes about 60 seconds, there's far less time for a toddler to fight, wriggle away, or negotiate their way out of brushing. Most parents tell us the biggest change is how much shorter and calmer the whole routine becomes.

The kids' electric toothbrush is designed around two age ranges, toddlers 2 to 6 and kids 6 to 12, to match how a child's mouth and teeth develop. Choose the range that fits your child's current age. If they're right on the edge of a range, pick the version made for their current age rather than sizing up early.

Not intended for children under 2. Choose the age range that matches your child, and always supervise brushing time.

Yes, especially for toddlers. A parent or caregiver should supervise brushing time, and for younger children in the 2 to 6 range, we recommend a parent or caregiver holds and guides the brush directly.

Older kids in the 6 to 12 range can often hold and guide the brush themselves once they're comfortable with it. For toddlers, we recommend a parent or caregiver holds and guides the brush, both for a thorough clean and for supervision.

Payment & Pricing

Accepted payment methods, currency, and how pricing works for UK customers.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. Available options are shown at checkout and may vary slightly depending on your device and browser.

Prices on micotix.com are listed in Pounds Sterling (GBP, £) and include UK VAT where applicable, so you know the exact amount you'll be charged before you pay.

If your card is issued outside the United Kingdom, your card issuer's own exchange rate and fees may still apply to the transaction. Check with your bank if you're unsure whether a foreign transaction fee applies to your card.

Yes. Checkout is powered by Shopify, whose payment infrastructure meets PCI-DSS standards for handling card data securely. We never see or store your full card number.

UK VAT is included in the prices shown on micotix.com. The total shown at checkout, including VAT and any shipping charges, is the amount you will be charged.

From time to time, yes. When we run a promotion, you'll be able to enter the code at checkout. Discount codes generally can't be combined or applied after an order has already been placed.

Declines are typically handled by your bank or card issuer rather than by us. Double-check that your billing address matches your card exactly, confirm the card is authorized for online purchases, or try an alternate payment method. If the issue continues, email info@micotix.com and we'll help troubleshoot.

The brush head is made from BPA-free silicone, chosen specifically for use in a child's mouth.
