Sonicare Sonic Toothbrush

A sonic toothbrush is an electric toothbrush that uses high-frequency sonic technology to clean the teeth effectively. The brush bristles move at a very high speed – approximately 31,000 movements per minute – while the brush head simultaneously moves within a precisely defined range up and down. This combination of movements effectively disrupts and removes dental plaque, even from harder-to-reach areas.

Sonic technology allows for very gentle cleaning of the teeth and gums. Compared with a conventional manual toothbrush or some rotary electric toothbrushes, a sonic toothbrush may be gentler on tooth enamel while also helping to remove dental plaque more effectively.

Regular use of a sonic toothbrush can contribute to better oral hygiene, healthier gums and a naturally brighter appearance of the teeth. Sonic toothbrushes can also help remove surface stains caused, for example, by coffee, tea or smoking.

Who Is a Sonic Toothbrush Suitable For?

A sonic toothbrush may be particularly suitable for patients:

with gum inflammation
with an increased risk of tooth decay
with periodontitis (periodontal disease)
with dental implants
with braces
with sensitive teeth

It is always advisable to consult a dental hygienist about the correct technique for using an electric or sonic toothbrush. They can recommend a suitable type of toothbrush and the proper brushing technique.
