Product Information

Not to mention, people who usean electric toothbrush have better oral health compared to people who do not — meaning their gums and teeth are healthier overall, according to Dr. Huang. Sonic toothbrushes are designed to give you more versatility and ease in your daily routine of brushing. From reduced effort in brushing to better cleaning outcomes, sonic toothbrushes have numerous merits for your oral health. Around two-thirds of British adults now use an electric toothbrush, according to the Oral Health Foundation. Since most of us learn how to brush our teeth with a manual toothbrush when we’re very young, those brushing habits can stay with us when we make the switch to an electric toothbrush. And that can be bad news for your teeth. The high-speed rotation of sonic brush heads (sonic wave technology) also stimulates the secretion of saliva and enhance the agitation of toothpaste, water and saliva. This converts fluids into an active cleaning agent that can seep into areas beyond the reach of bristles such as below the gum line and other crevices. Brush and Water Flosser: These devices include both a sonic toothbrush and an electric water flosser. A water flosser is a highly efficient alternative to classic dental floss, so by including it with a sonic toothbrush you get the best of both worlds.

These days, many electric toothbrushes come with a pressure sensor that sounds an alarm or flashes when too much pressure is applied. Don’t ignore these warnings, and make a note of where you’re more likely to apply pressure while brushing your teeth. Sonic brush heads vibrate at speeds up to and above 30,000 strokes per minute. Brushing for two minutes with a sonic brush gains you greater cleaning power than non-sonic brushes, even electric brushes. Dental experts recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, with a pea-sized blob of toothpaste that contains at least 1,350 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride. It’s a myth that you need to rinse out the residual toothpaste in your mouth. Simply spitting and not rinsing actually allows the fluoride in the toothpaste to protect your teeth for longer. On the other hand, sonic toothbrushes similarly have rotating and oscillating features to remove plaque, but operate at faster speeds. This cleaning action reaches far beyond what a mechanical scrubbing motion can achieve. As such, the brushing covers more surface area, creating more vibrations in to and fro motions.

If you’ve recently switched from a manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush, you may be wondering if you should be brushing your teeth differently now. The short answer is: yes. We recommend waiting until your braces are removed before starting out with our Teeth Whitening Strips. What age do I need to be to use the kit?

The size and shape of the toothbrush handle are essential for comfort and grip. Some toothbrushes have ergonomic handles that naturally fit your hand, while others have non-slip grips for added control. Rubber grips help to prevent the brush from slipping out of your hand while in use—even more crucial when the toothbrush is wet.Plus, electric toothbrushes are also great for children who haven’t fully learned how to properly remove all food, or for anyone with mobility issues that would prevent them from brushing their teeth properly, per Dr. Huang. Automatic timer: Look for a toothbrush that encourages you to brush for the full two minutes and, ideally, has quadrant pacers to help you give your teeth a thorough, whole-mouth clean. Sensor: Measures the pressure that you exert on your teeth while brushing. It helps to avoid over brushing and reduce the risk of abrasion due to excessive pressure on the gums or the teeth.
