Why Sonic Care Toothbrush?


Philips’ Sonicare Toothbrush is widely supported by more than 140 abstracts representing clinical and laboratory studies at over 40 universities and research institutions worldwide. Here is the list of some key reasons why dental professionals recommand Sonicare toothbrush as the #1 recommended power toothbrush brand: 

  • The Sonicare Flexcare is clinically proven to remove significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
  • Sonicare toothbrushes are clinically proven to reduce gingivitis and improve overall gum health.
  • The dynamic sonic technology is proven to remove extrinsic (coffee,tea, and tobacco) stains and also helps naturally whiten teeth by up to 2.5 shades in 2 weeks.
  • Sonicare is demonstrated to be safe and gentle for those with sensitive teeth and gums.

The patented sonic technology is another reason why Sonic Care toothbrush is so impressive. The brush head cleans your teeth in a high frequency and high amplitude bristle motion.  The brush head of a sonic toothbrush is capable of creating over 30,000 brush strokes per minute. Some of the sonic care toothbrush models can even create more than 40,000 brush strokes per minute. In comparsion, other conventional electric toothbrushes typically operate at frequencies ranging between 2,500 and 7,500 strokes per minute. It is the vibrational motion of the Sonic Care toothbrushes that sets them apart from all previous generations of electric toothbrush design.
