Dental Technology at Home:

There have been major technological advances in dentistry over the past several decades when it comes to preventative care.  I believe that the introduction of electric toothbrushes alone has helped prevent gingivitis and cavities in a countless number of people.  However, there is much debate on whether an electric toothbrush is better than a manuel toothbrush.

My Biological and Technology-filled dental office believes that the electric toothbrush is a “tool” to use to remove plaque, stain, and food debris.  The electric toothbrush that we recommend and offer in our Riverside dental office is the Sonicare.  The electric toothbrush stimulates the gum tissue and vibrates off the plaque and debris from in and around the teeth.  Lastly, the Sonicare also helps to remove surface stains from coffee, tea, and wine.

Recent research has shown that biofilm which is on the tooth structure even after toothbrushing, stimulates the inflammatory response leading to gingivitis.  Sonicare   has compared the effectiveness of their toothbrush against biofilm against other toothbrushes.  It so far, has proven to be most effective in the disruption and removal of biofilm.

On a side note; the majority of our patients’ use the Sonicare toothbrush and give daily testimonials on how it has changed the the health of their mouth for the better.  Our advanced Technology Dental office is dedicated to the health and well-being of our patients and strive to offer the latest in dental technology.  Please call our office located in Riverside, California at(951)686-3666.
