Rota-dent has been clinically proven to reduce plaque and thereby minimize both calculus build up and gingivitis or gum disease. It's designed to provide simple, effective, consistent access to even the hardest-to-reach places, including around orthodontics, appliances, and restorations - without scrubbing, special toothpastes, or fancy techniques.
In fact, the Rota-dent requires less pressure than other powered toothbrushes, since the rotary action brush tips clean effectively with just a touch to the tooth surface. All you have to do is hold the brush tip so that it meets the gumline and tooth surface at a 90-degree angle, move it slowly across all tooth surfaces, and then rinse thoroughly. Some patients notice a slight tingling sensation or even mild bleeding initially, due to stimulation of previously uncleaned or slightly diseased tissues. However, this will pass with consistent use. And finally, the Rota-dent comes with several different brush head designs to accommodate various dentitions, orthodontics, and gum conditions.
