We used many years electric toothbrushes from Braun (Professional Care). Despite thorough brushing and flossing at least once a year we had to go to the dentist to be removed resulting tartar and plaque (also by AirFlow) - an annoying and sometimes costly affair. , By the tip of a dental assistant (not the dentist himself!) We have the Panasonic EW gained 1031 sonic toothbrush. With sound has these (and other available) sound tooth busts nothing to do, as here no sound (or ultrasound) is created, but merely high vibrations on the entire brush head. We chose the very cheap model from Panasonic to test what the advertising promises. Result: Our expectations were far exceeded by the device. In addition to the low hum and easy operation, the cleaning of the visible success is remarkable: The teeth are very smooth after brushing, the interdental spaces are already cleaned as and even existing tartar is less each time. The professional cleaning at the dentist can probably be phased in over time or eliminated entirely. Even with the cleaning with dental floss of plaster success clearly felt was (the silk was not as often hang). A in other sources often described tickling the tooth or gums, we found hardly, it's more like a massage. There is another type of cleaning (circular motions not necessary), but a very pleasant, easy and efficient! , The competitor of Philips, we did not buy, because the metal pin, which transmits the vibration forces on the brush head, after some time dissolves, according to many buyers and the toothbrush thus becomes unusable. Of course, the long-term test in which Panasonic is still pending. Positive is also that the Panasonic the brush heads on the internet for less than 3 euros have to have a piece, what we consider a fair price. All in all: top device - recommended.
