Sonic Care Tooth Brush
The Phillips sonicare toothbrush was the first large scale electric toothbrush to be 
mass produced for the consumer at reasonabloe cost . This is not to say that it is a poor quality item , it does in fact carry a lengthy guarantee .
The sonic care tooth brush makes some substantial claims , such as
- it can remove plaque more effectively
- can noticeably whiten your teeth
- can get deep within your teeth for a deep clean
- Gives a effective dentist clean with sonic technology
- your teeth will feel cleaner immediately
One thing to note is that dentists have been using ultrasonics to clean teeth for many years , but at much higher dosage.
Also the sonicare only produces the sonic range for 30 seconds , if you switch that function on .
I do own a philips sonicare tooth brush , it was to replace my Oral B Triumph , which was still working well I just had to see what all the fuss was about !
After first charge , I gave the sonic care tooth brush a go , and immediately I noticed the discomfort of new electric tooth brush. This is quite normal , and everyone gets used to this very quickly.
Primarily I bought this tooth brush for the ugly brown stain between my lower teeth , which is proving to be very stubborn .
Did this sonicare tooth brush get that stain off , sadly no , after 2 months , the staining is still there .
Does it clean between my teeth , yes I think so , a fast moving head that vibrates so fast can never get deep into the crevaces , the head moves too fast , but it does actively force the foam between the teeth, which the braun did not!
Now the question is ,does sonic care toothbrushes do what it says it can….
Well I have personally seen no difference, it is certain that the sonicare is vastly superior in brushing speeds than the oral b , I have not seen an increase in tooth whitening above what I already had , though I have quite white teeth anyway.
Are sonic care toothbrushes a waste of time then?
Well yes ,I have to say for me I saw no difference , to whiteing or plaque removal, though the soniccare is a much more forceful brush, it does vibrate faster and more than the braun, but the sonic ability is just a marketing ploy , and there is no real gain.
Oral B have buckled to the trend and produced a sonic tooth brush with a sonic ability , after all the market has been eroded with the sonicare’s sales pitch , and now braun wish to get the market share back.
