Plus for patients

It has a number of new features, for example its ‘Gum care mode’, which encourages patients to brush for longer and allows them to target specific areas of concern. On this three minute cycle patients can hone in on areas that need more attention in order to improve the health of the gingiva, most specifically interproximally and along the margins. The Gum Care cycle starts with two minutes of whole mouth cleaning and is followed by another minute of gentle site specific cleaning for the most problematic areas.

In clinical studies, it was shown patients brushing with FlexCare+ in its Gum care mode brushed for significantly longer, with the consequence they reported back with fewer bleeding sites than those using a manual toothbrush. Notably, returning patients who took part in the trial, showed significant improvements in their gum health in just two weeks.
