What is the best toothbrushing method?
Toothbrushing is an activity that needs to be carried
out with care. Therefore, take your time to reach all
areas. Electric toothbrushes have been proven to be
more effective than manual toothbrushes when it
comes to removing plaque. With the Philips Jordan
Sensiflex, brushing each side of the tooth for a few
seconds is enough to clean both the tooth and the
surrounding gums. In this way, you can clean all
your teeth in a few minutes (see also the brushing
instructions). If you like, you can ask your dentist
or dental hygienist for a personal brushing advice.
Correct positioning of the toothbrush
The Philips Jordan Sensiflex has been designed to
make the type of movement that best removes
plaque. As there is no need for you to move the
brush to and fro, you can focus on placing the
brush on your teeth correctly. The quickly
oscillating bristles of the brush first detach and then
wipe away the plaque. The extra long and soft
bristles of the Active Tip ensure thorough and
effective cleaning between the teeth and at the back
of the mouth.
Enough time
By guiding the brush slowly along the insides,
outsides and chewing surfaces of all teeth and
molars, you will clean all areas in which plaque is
likely to develop. Hard-to-reach areas such as
behind the molars, along the gum line and behind
the front teeth, require extra attention. It is
therefore important that you take enough time for
your daily oral hygiene.
Optimal pressure
Brushing too hard may cause damage to your teeth
and gums. And, contrary to what you might expect,
it removes plaque less effectively than gentle
brushing. The unique Controlled Pressure system
will help you keep a check on your brushing
pressure. If too much pressure is applied to the
brush, the toothbrush will warn you immediately
by means of a click that you will both hear and feel.
Then the brush head will flex back. Clinical tests
have shown that, thanks to this Controlled Pressure
system, brushing with the Philips Jordan Sensiflex
results in a better and safer brushing technique.
Oral Water Jet
The Oral Water Jet is an additional device to assist
you in the daily care for your teeth. It gives your
mouth a delightfully fresh feeling, particularly when
mouthwash has been added to the water.
