Here, we explore what Curaprox stands for, why prevention matters, and how its thoughtfully designed tools support lifelong oral and overall wellbeing.
What does the name “Curaprox” mean?
Curaprox comes from Latin: “cura” means care or cure, and “prox” means close.
Together, the name reflects our belief that care begins up close—through prevention, education, and daily habits that protect oral and overall health.
This meaning aligns with the future of dentistry, which is shifting away from invasive treatments and toward empowering patients with knowledge about oral hygiene, the oral microbiome, diet, and lifestyle choices. Prevention is at the heart of a healthier society, and it is the foundation of the Curaprox philosophy.
Why is prevention important?
More dental professionals are recognising that the mouth is the gateway to overall health. Growing research links oral health to systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses. As a result, dental practices will increasingly work alongside other healthcare providers to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. In other words, when dental professionals look after their patients’ mouths, they’re also supporting their whole body.
Guided by the principle “Better care. Better you.”, Curaprox has created products people genuinely enjoy using. What we develop is fun and vibrant, creative and colourful, yet also effective, well-designed, stylish, and supported by science—modern oral care that makes prevention both easy and enjoyable.
What are the key features of Curaprox?
Curaprox products are designed by dental professionals and made in Switzerland to ensure exceptional quality and effectiveness. We make them colourful and enjoyable to use, because we know that joy is an essential part of maintaining long-term oral health. Alongside our products, we provide education to help people use the right tools correctly—supporting healthy, confident, and happy smiles.
What makes the Curaprox Hydrosonic Pro different from other electric toothbrushes?
The Curaprox Hydrosonic is a premium sonic toothbrush developed in collaboration with leading dental professionals. It combines Swiss precision with innovative sonic technology to deliver a deep yet gentle clean. The high-frequency sonic action creates dynamic fluid movement, allowing the brush to effectively reach areas that manual brushing often misses—especially around orthodontic appliances, implants, bridges, and along the gumline.
What sets the Hydrosonic apart is its uniquely soft Curacurve® brush heads, fitted with gentle Curen® filaments that are far kinder to gums than conventional bristles. This makes it suitable for anyone, including those with sensitive gums or periodontal concerns. With multiple cleaning modes, ergonomic handling, and carefully calibrated intensity levels, the Hydrosonic supports thorough daily care without compromising comfort. It is the perfect blend of effectiveness, safety, and enjoyment—helping users maintain a consistently high standard of oral hygiene at home.
Why do dental professionals recommend the CS 5460?
The Curaprox CS 5460 Ultra Soft is one of the most highly recommended manual toothbrushes among dental professionals worldwide. Its effectiveness lies in its 5,460 ultra-fine Curen® filaments, densely packed on a small, compact head. This unique design allows the toothbrush to remove plaque thoroughly while being exceptionally gentle on the gums and enamel.
Unlike traditional nylon bristles, Curen® filaments retain their shape and softness even when wet, delivering consistent, controlled cleaning every time. The octagonal handle helps users brush at the optimal angle—45 degrees—for ideal gumline care. This toothbrush is particularly beneficial for people with sensitive gums, gum recession, or a history of overbrushing.
Beyond performance, the CS 5460 is de
