5 Reasons to Throw Out Your Toothbrush and Switch to Sonic

Every day you brush with the wrong tool, the damage builds in silence. Bacteria multiply along your gum line. Your gums get inflamed, bleed, and slowly recede, and the tissue they lose never grows back. Left alone, it turns into gum disease: more cavities, yellower teeth, sensitive roots, and teeth that start to loosen. As a periodontist, I see where it ends every single week. Here are the 5 reasons your toothbrush is part of the problem.

Reason #1:

Your Toothbrush Can't Keep Up With the Bacteria

Plaque is not leftover food. It is a living colony of bacteria that sticks to your teeth and settles right along the gum line, and it starts rebuilding a few hours after you brush. A regular toothbrush skims the surfaces you can see and misses the gum line and the spaces between your teeth. That is why your gums can keep bleeding even when you never skip a brushing.

Reason #2:

Scrubbing Harder Is Wearing Your Gums Down

When brushing does not seem to work, most people press harder and scrub side to side. On most everyday brushes, the bristles are stiff and cut flat: at the gum line they scrape instead of sliding, and they slowly wear the gum back. And gum tissue does not grow back. Once it is gone, you can only stop losing more.

Reason #3:

Your Hand Can't Hold the Right Movement

The right movement is gentle, angled toward the gum line, for two full minutes, morning and night. I teach it in my office every week, and almost nobody can keep it up by hand. A sonic toothbrush does it for you: it vibrates 32,000 times per minute, so you simply glide the head along your gums and let the vibrations do the work.

Reason #4:

A Classic Electric Brush Is Just Faster Scrubbing

Most electric toothbrushes turn or oscillate a small round head at around 3,000 movements per minute. It helps, but it is still scrubbing, and it still misses the gum line. A sonic brush works about ten times faster, and its vibrations reach the zones that both a manual and a classic electric brush leave behind: just under the gum line, between the teeth, behind the back molars and on the inside of the front teeth. That is exactly where the bacteria settle. And its bristles sweep vertically, away from the gum, instead of scrubbing across it.

Reason #5:

Your Next Checkup Can Finally Be Different

Imagine sitting in the chair without bracing for the probe, the bleeding, or the talk about a deep cleaning that can cost close to $3,000. When the colony is dislodged where it lives, twice a day, the gums are no longer constantly irritated. Of everything I recommend, switching to sonic is the simplest change, and it is the one my patients notice first.

Most of the gum problems I see do not come from people who skip brushing. They come from people who brush every day with a tool that cannot reach the gum line. Switching to sonic is the simplest change I can recommend.
