Tough on Plaque, Gentle on Gums
What Is a Sonicare Toothbrush?
Standard electric toothbrushes, which use a rotating head and are widely available at drugstores, operate on a fundamentally different mechanism than Sonicare devices. Rather than relying on oscillation, Sonicare employs sonic wave technology to generate up to 30,000 vibration cycles per minute, a frequency that works to break down plaque and facilitate its removal during brushing.
Why Does Dr. Donn Recommend Sonicare?
Sonicare brushes work well as part of a general oral hygiene routine, but their gentle action on gum tissue makes them a particularly suitable choice for patients who have sensitive gums, gum recession, or a tendency to brush with excessive pressure. They are also well suited for patients over the age of 40, as the sonic action is effective at dislodging food debris from deeper gingival pockets, the spaces that form between the teeth and the surrounding gum tissue.
How Can I Get One?
Your teeth are unique, so it’s important to have an oral hygiene routine that works best for them, which is why there are several different models of Sonicare toothbrushes to choose from.
