Do you also confuse sonic and ultrasonic toothbrushes? Although both types of toothbrushes are electric, the differences are significant. While sonic toothbrushes only perform around 30,000 vibrations per minute, our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrushes can perform about 96 million vibrations per minute. The type of cleaning is also very different. In today's blog post, we explain what other differences there are and why we always recommend an ultrasonic toothbrush.
Ultrasonic toothbrushes work differently from sonic toothbrushes
The big difference between sonic and ultrasonic toothbrushes is not just that the frequency of oscillation is significantly different, but rather the way they work. While sonic toothbrushes can be used with a normal toothpaste, you need a special toothpaste when using our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush.
It is applied to the teeth and massaged in. The next step is to move the brush head from tooth to tooth for five to ten seconds, cleaning your teeth without pressure. Our special toothpaste forms fine bubbles as you brush, which in turn are burst by the ultrasound and bind dirt and debris. The fine structure of the bubbles also ensures that you can reach and clean even very hard-to-reach areas in the mouth, such as interdental spaces, with our ultrasonic toothbrush.
Advantages of an ultrasonic toothbrush
Commercial sonic toothbrushes often have a very large brush head and a significantly lower price compared to our ultrasonic toothbrush. Our ultrasonic toothbrush, on the other hand, convinces with its superior cleaning performance. The emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush glides gently from tooth to tooth.
Of course, it is comparatively more expensive to buy and use. The special toothpaste alone costs significantly more than a commercial toothpaste. The costs for new brush heads are also higher than for a conventional toothbrush. But the question is: what are beautiful and healthy teeth worth to you?
Ultrasonic toothbrushes are ideal for people who attach great importance to a well-groomed appearance. People like you and me who like to attract attention with a radiant white smile. People for whom healthy teeth matter.
emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrushes from the Platinum Care series are particularly practical for people with handicaps or limited mobility. Their easy handling and gentle brushing motion make them a real aid – gentle on teeth and gums while providing effective cleaning.
