Power toothbrush backed by science
8th Oct 2010
Power tothbrush gets offival stamp of approval
A power toothbrush has been given the official stamp of approval by a dental health body.
Oral-B's oscillating-rotating power toothbrush has been recognised by the British Dental Health Foundation's scientific panel as an effective way of reducing plaque.
The Foundation only accredits consumer products once it has checked the manufacturers claims are clinically sound.
The accreditation is undertaken by a panel of independent, international experts.
Oral-B power toothbrushes are the most used and recommended brand by dental professionals and are the only adult power brushes accredited by the British Dental Health Foundation.
Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, says: 'The range of powerbrushes from Oral-B have been shown to effectively and efficiently reduce plaque, their claims are 100% accurate and that is why we have added them to our elite list of accredited dental products.
'With various studies suggesting causal links between oral hygiene and cardiovascular disease, diabetes and pre-term births, brushing our teeth in the correct way has become essential, not only to our oral health but also our overall health.'
