Lightweight and affordable, the GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush reaches 45x deeper below the gumline* to provide patients with a superior clean
Every dentist sees patients who get an "A" for at-home oral care and are otherwise known as “great brushers.” But there’s also a fair number of patients who, for a multitude of reasons, simply fall short in their oral cleaning routine. In her over 2 decades of practice, Carmen Nelson, DDS, has seen both ends of the spectrum, and recently discovered a powered brush that can go a long way toward improving home care for all types of patients.
Here, Dr. Nelson explains how the GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush from Sunstar offers 3 important features that can turn even the most challenged brushers into brushing enthusiasts.
Lightweight, Quiet, and Affordable
“It’s affordably priced, has a low noise level, and weighs less than other powered brushes and some manual toothbrushes,” shared Dr. Nelson, who practices in Palos Heights, IL. “Many of my older patients are not the best brushers, and they’ve responded very well to the fact that this is a lightweight option. The noise level doesn’t disturb them, and because there’s no bulky charger, the brush doesn’t take up too much room on their bathroom countertops. They can store it in a water cup just like a manual brush.”
Featuring soft, bilevel, tapered bristles and dual-action motion with 12,000 sonic vibrations per minute, the GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush is 50% more effective at plaque removal and interproximal reach than traditional manual toothbrushes.* With a cord-free design that includes 1 AAA battery, the toothbrush is available in black or white.
A Sizeable Difference After 6 Months
Dr. Nelson has seen a remarkable difference in the overall oral health of her patients since they began using the GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush, especially when those patients have returned for their 6-month checkups.
“They're getting closer to the gumline,” she shared, "and there’s less maneuvering because of the lightweight, slim design of this brush. They’re not brushing too hard—also a common problem with other brushes—because the brush is doing more of the work for them.”
Easy Brushing for Everyone
Packaged with 3 colored rings for personalization and a stay-clean cap, the brush is manufactured with less plastic than similar products.**
“When patients say they can’t buy a powered brush because of the cost or weight, or it’s another thing on their counter that takes up space, the GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush may be the answer," concluded Dr. Nelson.
