'The Sonicare provides a unique and exhilarating
tooth brushing experience. I use the Sonicare myself and
I have no doubt that the novel design and mode of action
enables more thorough plaque removal from around the mouth
including the difficult-to-access inter-proximal and sub-gingival
sites. Nearly all of our patients of all ages will benefit
from improved plaque control and this improved efficacy
of plaque removal leads to resolution of gingivitis. The
clinical benefits of using the Sonicare are often apparent
after only a few days and, most importantly, are sustained
in the longer term. The feedback received from patients
on an individual basis is also extremely positive as they
are able to discern very quickly the benefits of using
the toothbrush. There is of course a considerable evidence-base
in the dental literature that supports the effectiveness
of Sonicare but for first hand evidence, I would recommend
that you try the Sonicare and then consider recommending
the toothbrush to your own patients.'
