Dentists are a funny group. Like many other professionals in the medical field, we are constantly trying to eliminate that which keeps us in business. Unfortunately, the incidence of dental caries (cavities) is on the rise, especially in children.
The best advice that I can offer to prevent decay and therefore costly dental work is:
Get a Sonicare Toothbrush!
Many of our patients have tried the Sonicare toothbrush, and upon asking how they like it, I always get the same responses. “I love this thing!” “My teeth have never felt cleaner!” As well as “Why did I wait so long to get one!” are just a few of the more common things I hear.
Think you can do just as well with a manual toothbrush? Just have a brief conversation with any one of our hygienists. They will tell you that they consistently see healthier teeth and gums in patients who are using a Sonicare.
We are so sure that the Sonicare toothbrush will give you better results that we offer them to our patients at our cost. That’s right- we do not make a profit off the Sonicare or any other product that we sell. We are more interested in you getting the best products at the lowest prices because we want you to use them. Perhaps we will be putting ourselves out of business by doing this, but there will definitely be more beautiful smiles around because of it!
P.S. There is a new Children’s Sonicare toothbrush available. Each of my kids have one, and they love it!
