Most of our patients know we advocate excellent home hygiene habits. We also believe that proper tools will help you at home, just like the best professional dental technology helps us in the office. With 90,000 filament sweeps per second, the Rota-dent battery-powered toothbrush removes bacteria on and between teeth, and even below the gum line. It will remove 92 percent of your plaque in just one minute, and it’s safe for cosmetic and restorative dentistry, as well as for braces.
Remember that your mouth is continually supplied with oral bacteria. Bacteria deposit plaque on your teeth that, left untouched, hardens into calculus or tartar. Tartar irritates the gums, initiating the process of gum disease. While regular brushing techniques seldom reach plaque's favorite hiding places, like just below the gum line and between the teeth, the Rota-dent has been clinically proven to reduce plaque and thereby minimize both calculus build up and gingivitis. It's designed to provide simple, effective, consistent access to even the hardest-to-reach places, including around orthodontics, appliances, and restorations without scrubbing, special toothpastes, or fancy techniques.
In fact, the Rota-dent requires less pressure than other electric toothbrushes since the rotary action brush tips clean effectively with just a touch to the tooth surface. Simply hold the brush tip so that it meets the gum line and tooth surface at a 90-degree angle, move it slowly across all tooth surfaces, and then rinse your mouth thoroughly. Some patients notice a slight tingling sensation or even mild bleeding initially, due to stimulation of slightly diseased or sensitive tissues. However, this will pass with consistent use.
The Rota-dent comes with several different brush heads designed to accommodate various dentitions, orthodontics, and gum conditions. Do you travel often? Roto-dent can be packed easily into a suitcase, or you can order a specially-designed travel case to keep it clean and safe during transport. Order Rota-dent by Pro-Dentec online at www.prodentec.com.
