Senses - for adult care
Gentle oral care for sensitive mouths
At Senses, we believe that everyone deserves comfort, dignity, and confidence in oral care, no matter their age, ability, or sensory sensitivity.

Together, We’re Redefining Oral
health in Adult Care
Senses is more than just products, it’s a movement to restore dignity through oral comfort.
Carers have seen an immediate difference; reluctant brushers, previously distressed by strong flavours and foaming, brushing for the first time in months.
We work with healthcare professionals, care homes, and families to make oral care gentle, effective, and kind - for everyone, every single time.
Our mission
For many sensory-sensitive adults, their taste buds have been altered by dementia. Others have dry or sore mouths caused by medication or cancer treatment.
Senses aims to relieve these problems by providing effective, great-tasting and safe solutions that restore comfort and encourage engagement.
Our products have been developed with oral care professionals to make every step - from swabbing to brushing - a moment of care, not discomfort.

Partnering with Leaders in Care
We’re proud to have partnered with Nightingale Hammerson, a leading charitable care provider offering exceptional residential, nursing, and dementia care in London.
Their team trialled the newly developed Senses swabsticks, helping us test active ingredients, packaging, and user experiences to support both resident comfort and carer ease of use.
"We're busy analysing the results and looking forward to sharing them shortly"
