The Sonicare Toothbrush
By Sherril Steele-Carlin
As gums age, they need some help staying healthy. That means daily brushing and flossing. Gums that bleed are a sign of gingivitis, an irritating disease of the gums that can eventually lead to gum deterioration and even bone loss if left untreated. The Sonicare toothbrush can help fight the plaque that causes gingivitis by reaching below the gum line and cleaning more effectively than a regular toothbrush.
How Does it Work?
The Sonicare system uses a microprocessor to determine the speed of its' bristles, which move about three times faster than traditional electric toothbrushes. This is why it is so effective at cleaning teeth, because it is gentler than most other toothbrushes, yet more effective at cleaning and removing plaque. The Sonicare moves at ultra high speed, but it also uses the back and forth method of brushing that most dentists recommend, so it's far better for your teeth than most other electrics or a manual toothbrush.
Some Benefits
The Sonicare removes plaque (the tartar that can lead to gingivitis) more effectively, but it can also be used by people with braces, with dental implants, and by those who have dry mouth or Sjogren's syndrome. Many first-time users discover that it is much more comfortable to use than any other electric toothbrush they have ever owned, and so they find themselves using it more regularly. The Sonicare also whitens teeth, if used as directed for at least 28 days.
Dentist Recommended
Many dentists recommend the Sonicare toothbrush to their patients, and have them available in their offices for demonstration. The Sonicare was developed along the same lines as some of the tools dentists use in their offices, which is one reason it is so effective and so many dentists recommend it.
The Sonicare isn't your average, everyday toothbrush. Even people who have never liked electric toothbrushes before find themselves using and enjoying the Sonicare. Experience healthier gums and teeth by using the Sonicare every day.
