Healthy teeth are to
be treasured,which is
logical,for we want
them to last a
lifetime.As plaque is
the major cause of
tooth decay,proper
dental care is
essential.By brushing
carefully every day
you will remove
plaque and keep
your teeth and gums
healthy longer.
What is plaque?
Plaque is a soft,sticky layer on
our teeth.It forms mainly on
hard-to-reach areas such as
interdental spaces and along the
gum line.Plaque mainly consists
of bacteria that turn the sugars in
our food into harmful acids.Due
to its yellowy white colour,
plaque is hard to detect on the
teeth.Fortunately,as long as the
plaque is still soft,it can easily be
removed by means of careful and
correct brushing.
What are the
consequences of plaque?
The acids in plaque dissolve the
enamel on our teeth and molars,
which may lead to the develop-
ment of cavities.The bacteria
produce toxins which may cause
the gums to become inflamed
(gingivitis).Inflamed gums are
often red and swollen and may
start bleeding during brushing or
eating.Moreover,the
inflammation may spread from
the gum line to the jaw bone
beneath,which may eventually
cause the teeth and molars to fall
out.If plaque is not removed
daily,it may calcify into tartar
adhering strongly to the teeth.
Tartar,in its turn,provides an
excellent platform for new plaque
growth,thus further increasing
the risk of caries and
inflammation.
Taking optimal care of your teeth

What is the best
toothbrushing method?
Toothbrushing is an activity that
needs to be carried out with
care.Therefore,take your time to
reach all areas.Electric
toothbrushes have been proven
to be more effective than manual
toothbrushes when it comes to
removing plaque.With the Philips
Jordan Sensiflex,brushing each
side of the tooth for a few
seconds is enough to clean both
the tooth and the surrounding
gums.In this way,you can clean all
your teeth in a few minutes (see
also the brushing instructions).If
you like,you can ask your dentist
or dental hygienist for a personal
brushing advice.
Correct positioning of the
toothbrush
The Philips Jordan Sensiflex has
been designed to make that type
of movement that best removes
plaque.As there is no need for
you to move the brush to and
fro,you can focus on placing the
brush on your teeth correctly.
The quickly oscillating bristles of
the brush first detach and then
wipe away the plaque.The extra
long and soft bristles of the
ActiveTip ensure thorough and
effective cleaning between the
teeth and at the back of the
mouth.
