What is a Sonicare Toothbrush
You’re probably familiar with electric toothbrushes — you can buy one with a head that rotates at any drugstore. Sonicare leaves those oscillating brushes behind, using sonic wave technology to vibrate as many as 30,000 cycles per minute to break down plaque, making it easier to brush away.
Why Does Dr. Brittain Recommend Sonicare
A Sonicare brush is a fantastic addition to any oral hygiene routine, but because these brushes are so gentle on the gums, we particularly recommend it for patients with sensitive gums or gum recession, or for those with a tendency to brush hard. They are also excellent for anyone over the age of 40, because they are excellent at blasting food out of deeper gingival pockets (the spaces between teeth and gums).
What Makes Sonicare Different From Other Electric Toothbrushes
Not all electric toothbrushes work the same way, and the difference in technology translates directly into a difference in results. Here is what sets Sonicare apart:
- Sonic wave technology — High-frequency vibrations drive fluid between teeth and below the gum line, reaching areas bristles never directly touch
- Gentler on sensitive gums — Highly effective without the pressure that can irritate sensitive or receding gum tissue
- Superior plaque removal — 30,000 brush strokes per minute versus the 300 to 400 a manual brush produces
- Multiple brushing modes — Settings for sensitive teeth, gum care, whitening, and deep cleaning to suit your specific needs
- Built-in timer — A two-minute timer with 30-second interval alerts ensures every part of your mouth gets equal attention
- Long battery life — Most models hold a charge for two to three weeks, making it a practical travel-friendly option
