Not sure about HOW sensitive. My teeth are somewhat sensitive and they are fine. Equivalent to original brush.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

I have sensitive teeth and it is fine. I would not buy it again though. So gimmicky. I use my own sonic toothbrush and then this paste because I don't like the brush it comes with. The whitening strips are so much better.

I can't say for sure how stiff the bristles are but I'm able to brush my gums with it without discomfort and I have fairly sensitive gums.

It is just like any other oral b toothbrush. It does not vibrate. The brush head spin clockwise and and anti clock wise. You get more control on the area you want to brush. This might be helpful to the sensitive gums.

Yes the bristles are very gentle but i think they are longer as well. I do not have acne prone skin but my daughter does so I ordered the pack. i think i like them better than the "Normal" skin brushes. COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT A DEAL THEY WERE!!

They come with two brush heads, the smaller would work, however I would check with a dentist about age appropriate use.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought some when I bought the toothbrush. Haven't need to use any of them yet. I must say that this is a great brush and I don't know why they quit making them.

There is something like 4000 rpm so it is strong (similar to a dentist cleaning tool), however you can adjust the settings to your preference. There are 5 choices: regular, deep clean which is a longer setting, feather light which is good for sensitive gums, polishing which is most similar to the dentist office, and massage which changes speed and pressure for gums and teeth. You can also purchase different brushheads such as regular, sensitive gums, deep clean/floss action. If you use the Oral B brand, the brush head fits perfect and there is no excess noise or vibration, but if you use the generics I notice this does happen more and it is annoying, so we go with the brand.

Sensitive CLean is new to me. It might be a marketing gimmick, or it might be a new model replacing the Sensitive. I put the two links side by side in different tabs; there is a difference in how they are constructed. Be sure it fits your power tooth brush. We use the "4000" type. My wife uses the sensitive brush, and has for years; I use one (rarely) if I get a minor gum infection. I doubt there is much difference, but I would go with what my dentist recommended. He probably has a reason; you could ask him/her. I am not much help! These Sensitive-type brushes are designed for people with sensitive gums, and for children. http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Pro-Health-Sensitive-Clean-Refill/dp/B008CC3SKW/ref=sr_1_5?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654142&sr=1-5&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Sensitive-Extra-Soft-Brush-heads/dp/B00006ANDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654141&sr=1-1&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads

The bristles are fairly soft but firm enough to do a good job on the teeth. I've been using them for over two years and haven't had any gum problems so they aren't too firm. Hope this helps you.

No unfortunately they don't. Really you can use them for whatever you want. Whatever works best for you and your needs. But their are some great YouTube videos explaining the brushes and giving examples of what you could use them for.

These are definitely standard. I haven't found any choice as far as the bristles and don't know that they are offered. I'd be interested if they do offer softer ones.

Yes, it definitely helps with sensitivity!!you can use it after brushing with your regular toothpaste.

I'm not a dentist but I'd say it depends upon the type of sensitivity you are experiencing. If the sensitivity is at the tips, then this will probably help. If it's near the gum line, then you might want to try the new Crest Sensi-Stop strips. I'd suggest discussing this with your dentist.
