Common conclusions

Feeling your teeth sensitive can lead to some kinds of inconveniences while brushing your teeth. Such teeth should be cleaned as gentle as possible. If you faced some difficulties or feel yourself uncomfortable while using regular toothbrush you may try a sonic one. Sonic toothbrushes are considered to be rather effective due to the high level of vibrations they provide. Moreover, they can clean those areas, which bristles do not reach. This type of toothbrush may help you to keep your sensitive teeth well cleaned and feel more comfortable while brushing routine. Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day and floss afterwards.

Having braces on your teeth need more attention and higher quality oral care. You can use a sonic toothbrush if you do not feel your teeth clean enough after brushing your teeth with a regular toothbrush or due to some other reasons. Sonic toothbrushes are considered being effective enough due to the high level of vibrations they provide. Moreover, they can clean those areas, which bristles do not reach (e.g. brace clips parts). Make sure that is not of an ultrasound type in order not to damage your braces structure. Remember to brush your teeth after each meal.

Having dental plaque that is formed too fast can lead to the calculus buildup if not removed in time. You may try to use a sonic toothbrush as far as they vibrate up to 40 000 strokes per minute and have enough force to help you reduce the amount of the plaque. If the situation persists, try using an electric brush. One more tip for you is to use an enzyme toothpaste, which in turn can help you to dissolve the plaque while brushing. Make sure you brush your teeth regularly twice a day and floss afterwards.

It seems you may feel less desire to brush your teeth since having gum disease of any nature. Such situation needs attention and thorough cleaning in order to prevent bacteria multiplying. You can benefit from using a soft-bristled sonic toothbrush as far as it considered being effective enough due to the high level of gentle vibrations it provides. This may help you to feel more comfortable while brushing your teeth and keep the high-level oral care. Make sure you brush your teeth regularly twice a day and gently floss afterwards. Please follow your dentist’s recommendations and visit him regularly.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you can benefit from sonic toothbrush or not and find a suitable solution. If you have healthy teeth and just want to improve your teeth brushing routine you can use either sonic or electric toothbrush. Please, contact your dentist for more information.
