Which electric toothbrush is best for you?

Are you fighting oral bacteria? Undecided on which toothbrush to use? In this article, we explain why dental care is so important and why the right toothbrush can be a game changer.

Leading the way in fighting against disease

Leading dentists who specialise in implants say patients need to be aware of the main cause of peri-implantitis. This is an inflammatory disease that attacks and undermines the soft and hard tissues surrounding implants, ultimately leading to bone loss and the eventual loss of the implant.

Dental implants are vulnerable to hundreds of different types of bacteria, putting oral immune systems at risk – particularly those of smokers, vapers and people with diabetes. This is why effective brushing is vital as a prevention and disinfectant.

Dentists say that implants are only possible if patients apply an appropriate level of self-care. The harsh truth is that if gum disease is allowed to spread due to inadequate dental maintenance, implants cannot be fitted.

This is why dentists recommend electric toothbrushes, which can mean all the difference between a bacterial invasion and a healthy mouth.

Research has found that the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush, for example, is particularly effective at fighting plaque than manual brushes. It protects healthy teeth and gums and restorative implant work; and, because it is an investment in their health, people are more likely to use it too.
