A gentle head and lighter pressure may help comfort, but a refill cannot diagnose or treat the cause of sensitivity.

What matters for this question
- Choose the handle first, then look for a soft or extra-soft refill whose maker lists that exact connection. Reduce pressure instead of assuming a more expensive head will solve sensitivity.
- Sensitivity can come from several causes. If it is persistent, new or painful, a dental professional should assess it.
