Are you fed up with your current toothbrush and are you thinking about changing? Or maybe you know well that a traditional manual toothbrush is not enough to fully care for a beautiful and healthy smile? Currently, one of the most technologically advanced solutions are advanced sonic toothbrushes.
It is a great option for people who care about the effective removal of plaque, plaque or discoloration and protection of gums and enamel. How many movements per minute does a sonic toothbrush make and what does this value mean in practice? Is only the number of movements important to achieve the best cleaning results?
To enjoy a nice, well-groomed smile for as long as possible, remember about daily oral care. It is important to use the right technique for cleaning your teeth and use the right toothpaste and a high-quality toothbrush at least twice a day – for example, Philips Sonicare Prestige. Thanks to it, as well as other Philips Sonicare models, you can thoroughly clean the teeth, interdental spaces and hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached with a traditional manual toothbrush.
What is a sonic toothbrush?
Electric toothbrushes with round heads and sonic toothbrushes consist of a handle with a battery, a touch control panel and a replaceable tip. However, this is where the similarities end – sonic brushes have a differently constructed cleaning tip, which is oblong and visually resembles a manual toothbrush. Models of this type perform pulsating and sweeping movements, which effectively remove bacterial plaque and discoloration (e.g. after coffee or tea), and thanks to their slim design, they easily reach hard-to-reach places and perfectly clean the interdental spaces.
This is important!
Remember to replace the tip of the sonic toothbrush regularly, i.e. every 3 months. Thanks to this, you will discover its full potential! To make it easier, selected models of Philips Sonicare toothbrushes have an icon that will remind you to replace the tip.
Sonic toothbrush – how many movements?
The effectiveness of the sonic toothbrush is influenced, among others, by the amount of movements that he is able to generate when cleaning the teeth. As a user of a traditional manual toothbrush, you use your own muscles to make several hundred movements per minute. The unquestionable leader in terms of the number of movements is the sonic toothbrush, which can perform even over 62 movements per minute.
The quality of the brush’s work
Remember, however, that not only the number of movements matters and that the declaration of more movements of the sonic toothbrush fibers does not always go hand in hand with effective plaque removal. The very quality of the brush’s work is important, i.e. the optimal number of movements of the sonic brush fibers as well as their synergy and scope of operation. Only the right number of pulsating movements that break the plaque in combination with the optimal amount and the appropriate range of sweeping movements that sweep previously broken plaque effectively clean the teeth and guarantee delicacy for the gums.
Sonic toothbrush – working modes
Modern sonic brushes are technologically advanced devices that, in addition to the standard functions of cleaning teeth and interdental spaces, offer various modes of operation. For example, Philips Sonicare models have programs that allow you to achieve the effect you want the most. The Clean program is the default brush operation mode – when it is turned on, the brush can perform up to 62 vibrations, perfectly cleaning even the most difficult-to-reach spaces. Gum Care is a mode designed for people who want to improve the blood supply and condition of the gums. An additional minute of gentle massage fully meets this need. White, on the other hand, is a mode designed for anyone who, apart from effective cleaning of their teeth, would like to lighten them a bit. When the mode is on, the toothbrush cleans the teeth more intensively than usual, removing plaque from them, e.g. as a result of drinking coffee, tea or consuming other coloring products. In this case, you gain 30 extra seconds to polish your front teeth.
