The Technology behind the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 Toothbrush
Ordinary manual toothbrushes merely scrub the surface plaque, and no matter how hard or how much you brush, you may still not be removing the plaque that lurks in the hard-to-reach areas. Clinical tests have shown the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush to be superior to a manual toothbrush by removing nearly twice as much plaque between the teeth. It has also been found to be superior to the other power toothbrushes available today. The Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush is different because it cleans with a combination of high speed (31,000 brush strokes per minute) and sonic wave action to give you an indescribable clean feeling. Laboratory studies have shown this technology actually removes bacteria up to 3 mm beyond the tips of the bristles without touching the plaque itself! This is especially important when brushing the tongue where halitosis causing bacteria often reside deep within the taste buds of the tongue. Clinical studies have also shown this technology to remove over 80% of coffee, tea, and tobacco stains and it actually whitens teeth. Clinical studies have shown you can actually get whiter teeth! We have found this model of sonic toothbrush to be the best one available today and the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 is also very gentle on the gums and sensitive teeth and is recommended for people with sensitive teeth or gum recession.
Because of its sonic technology we have found the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush to be the most effective type of toothbrush for removing bacteria from the surface of the tongue. Its sonic technology has the ability to dislodge the halitosis causing bacteria that typically remain deep within the taste buds themselves. In fact the sonic action of the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush will dislodge bacteria up to 3mm in advance of the actual physical bristles themselves. This same technology is used to clean medical and dental instruments prior to the sterilization process.
Over the years in our clinic we have found that close to 90% of the patients suffering from halitosis or bad breath have had longer than average taste buds. This means they are trapping a lot of bacteria, debris, and mucous deep within the taste buds of the tongue, and many times even a good tongue scraper can’t reach these areas to clean them effectively. It is very important that one effectively removes these substances from the crevices of the tongue in order to resolve their bad breath condition.
By using the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush on the tongue one can dislodge the halitosis causing bacteria much more effectively, and it is for this reason we highly recommend the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Series 8 toothbrush to all patients, especially for those suffering from halitosis or bad breath*.
