Preventing gingivitis is essential to oral health. Oral-B® Electric Toothbrushes are one of the most effective tools you can use to help keep your gums healthy. Learn how below.

What is the Best Electric Toothbrush for Gum Disease?

The chances of gum disease can be significantly lowered when plaque is removed and prevented from building up. Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes are designed to gently but effectively clean the surface of your teeth, which helps to remove plaque buildup without causing irritation. In fact, some Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes include special massage or gum-care cleaning modes. In addition, only Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes have a visual pressure sensor that alerts you when you brush too hard, to help promote healthy gums.

Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes are Better than Sonicare®*

Inspired by dental tools, the unique Oral-B 3D Cleaning Action starts with a round, cup-shaped head that adapts to each individual tooth. Then it pulsates to loosen plaque and rotates to sweep the plaque away. This unique 3D clean has been proven to be better at improving gum health. In fact, the Oral-B PRO 5000 reduces gingivitis 32% better than the most expensive brush from Sonicare®.*

Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes are easy to use because the brush does the work for you—all you need to do is guide your brush along the tooth and gum surface, while the dentist-inspired round brush head cups each tooth and cleans away bacteria on the surfaces of your teeth, including along your gum line. There are lots of reasons to make the switch to an Oral-B Electric Toothbrush—including having happier, healthier gums.
