Best Toothbrush for Gum Health
Gum-friendly features
Receding and damaged gums can cause pain and tooth sensitivity. The Sonicare ProtectiveClean comes with several features to protect your gums from both over-brushing and ineffective brushing. First, the pressure sensor will gently pulse to alert you if you’re pressing too hard. There’s also a “gum care” mode, which ensures gentle yet effective cleaning.
Personalized brushing experience
Whether you’re looking to whiten teeth, protect your gums, or simply get a post-dentist-clean feeling, there’s a mode for you. Choose from clean, white, and gum care every time. Within each mode, there are also three intensities to choose from.
Helpful reminders
The Sonicare ProtectiveClean features a nifty tool for keeping yourself honest: a built-in timer. The timer goes off after 2 minutes, which is the dental professional recommended brushing time.
Another unique feature is the brush head replacement reminder, which comes in the form of a beep. As with any toothbrush, the bristles become less effective over time due to wear. But if you’re like most people, keeping track of the last time you changed your toothbrush head isn’t top of mind. With the Sonicare ProtectiveClean, you’ll never have to guess when to replace your brush head, thanks to the automatic reminders.
